Expert Tips: Mastering the Art of Perfect Eyebrows

If you want flawless eyebrows, you have a few alternatives: you can go to a salon and get them waxed or threaded or you can develop the perfect shape yourself. First figure out what shape is best for your face, then determine how dense or thin to go and shape your brows using tweezers and an eyebrow pencil. Then use the best eyebrow kit to beautify it. 

  • Figuring out Your Perfect Brow Shape

Seeingthe right spot for your inner brows to begin is key to creating an ideal brow. To figure out where your inner brows should begin, use the following technique:-

  • As a broad starting point, take a pencil or other long, thin instrument and line it up with the inside junction of your eye. The place where the instrument coincides with your brow is where it should start up. Mark the spot by making a dot there with an eyeliner pencil. Repeat on the other side.
  • However, if you have close-set eyes, space your brows a bit farther apart. If you have wide-set eyes, space your brows slightly closer together. This assists in balancing your features.
  • If you're not sure what will look best, deem visiting a professional esthetician for a brow mapping session. The aesthetician will use your eyes and nose as guides to develop brows that will frame and underline your features and use your brow palette in the best way. 
  • Styling Your Brows

Fill in the brows- Take an eyebrow pencil in a hue close to that of your brows and make light strokes in the direction that your hair grows to assist fill out your look. Eyebrow hair doesn't usually grow entirely evenly, so filling in the gaps from the eyebrow tip is a need for developing perfect brows.
Don't make an arch where there isn't one, or try to extend your brows with an eyebrow pen. It will be too apparent that you drew extra parts.

  • For the most realistic look, select an eyebrow pencil 1 or 2 shades softer than the natural colour of your brows.
  • For a heavier look, select an eyebrow pen that's a shade or 2 darker than your natural brow shade.

Use a brow comb- Gently comb them into shape so that no hairs are poking up in the false direction. If you fill in your brows with a pencil, take care not to stain it when you comb your brows.
Apply brow Gel- This helps your brows stay in place all day and prevents them from getting chaotic under windy conditions. Apply a dab to the inner part of your brow and either smooths it to the outer portion of your brow with the tip of your finger or use the brow brush to comb it in.
If you don't have brow gel, you can use hairspray instead. Spray your finger with hair spray and tap it across your brow. You can also use a dab of petroleum jelly in place of brow gel.
