Eyebrow Shape

Shaping eyebrows for the perfect eyebrow shape.

Your eyebrow shape can enhance your appearance even if you are not a "glamour girl." With these 5 simple steps you can have your perfect eyebrow shape.

Eyebrow shape is one of the most important parts to beauty. Your eyebrow shape depends on your facial features. It can help you look younger and "lift" the eye so it appears firmer.

5 Steps to a Perfect Eyebrow Shape

Trim your eyebrows. This will make a big difference in helping you look younger. Once eyebrows reach a certain length they start losing pigments at the ends. I love using a mustache trimmer set I purchased at a department store. It comes with a little comb and perfect point scissors. Comb your eyebrows up, trim any excess that goes beyond the natural hair line. Comb your eyebrows down, and do the same. It may seem like a lot at first but trust me, you will love the outcome.
Take an eyeliner pencil and place it vertically against your nose. It should run from the side of the nose, mid-mouth, and by the tear duct of the eye. This is where your eyebrow should start; any hair that is visible beyond the pencil should be tweezed.
Next place the pencil diagonally where it should hit the middle of the mouth, nostril, and outside the iris of the eye. This is wear your arch is. Tweeze a gradually line from the arch to the start of the eyebrow. Remember, GRADUAL, nothing harsh.
To determine the end of the eyebrow, place the pencil diagonally across to the opposite corners of the mouth, nostril, and outside corner of the eye. Any hair that goes past should be tweezed.
Place your pencil horizontal from the start of the eyebrow to the end of the eyebrow. The pencil should create a perfect straight line.

For those of you, who prefer a wax or threading over a pair of tweezers; make sure you go to a trusted salon. I have seen a lot of eyebrow accidents. It seems like they always want to make eyebrows very thin and have harsh angles. Look through magazine and see how models and celebrities have their eyebrows shaped. Don't let them over do it. Thin eyebrows will age a woman faster then sun and birthdays!

Men do not need to "shape" their eyebrows. The only steps men need to take for perfect eyebrows is to trim them and make sure there are two!
