Perfect Eyebrows

Eyebrows can dramatically change your appearance and having the perfect shape can really complement your look. However, finding that perfect shape for your face can be a bit of a challenge and may require  some trial and error. 

Finding the perfect shape for your face:

Find out where your eyebrow starts by holding a pencil along side your nose and cross the eye at the tear duct up to the brow. To find the outer edge of your eyebrow hold the pencil from the edge of your nose to the outer corner of your eye. Next. find the highest point of the arch by holding a pencil in front of the iris. 

Some tips to try: 

Try using an eyebrow pencil to try different shapes to see which one looks better. 

When taking out your eyebrows use a mirror that has magnification, to see each hair. 

Also, remember to go slowly in order to avoid over plucking. After taking some hairs out look at yourself in a regular mirror from a distance  so you can see and compare both eyebrows. 

Do not take out to much hair from above the eyebrow, just remove any stray hairs. 

Before taking out any hair fill in your eyebrows to your desired shape. This will allow you to only remove stray hairs and will avoid any mistakes. After removing these hairs brush your eyebrow up with a small brush or toothbrush. Any hairs that are too long should be trimmed. However, do not brush then down and trim them because this will leave you with gaps in your eyebrow.

5 Eyebrow Mistakes

Eyebrows can have a real big impact on your look. Eyebrows should not underestimated because they can totally change your facial expressions. With the right eyebrow shape, you will look fresher, younger and tidier. 

Over Plucking

Over plucking is one of the most frequent problems when it comes to eyebrows. If you make your eyebrows too thin, your eyes will not look defined. Also if you over pluck your eyebrows there is a possibility that some hairs will not grow back. Nowadays the natural fuller eyebrows are trendy. 

Drawing your Eyebrows with a Dark Pencil 

If you have sparse eyebrows, avoid using dark pencils to fill them in. Never use a black pencil because on one has black eyebrows. Even if your hair is jet black, you should never use a black pencil. Instead use a eyebrow powder with an angled brush. Fill in any gaps and build the color little by little. 

Trimming Too Much Of Your Eyebrows

Trimming hairs that are too long is an important step in having nice shaped eyebrows. However, if you trim the hairs too short they can destroy the shape of the eyebrow and can leave you with a bold spot. Instead try cutting one hair at a time. Trim only the hairs that are longer than the rest.

Taking too Much off the Ends

Short eyebrows look less elegant than longer eyebrows. You can find the ideal end of your eyebrow by touching your brow bone.  Wherever the bone ends, should also be the end of your eyebrows. 

Tweezing Too Frequently 

Grooming your eyebrows every day is too much and it is not necessary. You should tweeze your eyebrows once a week to avoid over plucking them. If you want your eyebrows to look defined and fresh try putting a bit of concealer underneath and on top of the eyebrow. This will make your eyebrows pop and look like you just did them.

Let's not forget the eyebrows

Eyebrows can change the look of a person dramatically. Eyebrows help frame the face and when shaped correctly can really make a person look better. 

Having the perfect eyebrow however, can be challenging because sometimes our eyebrows are too light, uneven, or too thin. But today there are many products in the market that can help us achieve the perfect eyebrow. 

Before getting into the products, I would like to say that you NEVER use black on your eyebrows, NEVER!! Regardless of how dark your hair is, no one could get away with using black on your eyebrows.

Eyebrow Products

Eyebrow Pencil: 

This is the most common product to fill in the eyebrows. However, it can look very harsh , so when using a pencil apply it very lightly. Do not apply it with pressure because you will end up with harsh and sharp edges along your eyebrows. For a more natural look, apply it in short light strokes and then blend with  a brush. 

Eyebrow Powder:

Brow powder is always matte and very pigmented. I find brow powder to be the most natural looking. Use a color that matches your eyebrow hair. Also, you can use a matte eyeshadow instead of eyebrow powder, you will achieve the same result. You will need a firm angled brush to apply it. Use light strokes and be sure to blend. 

Eyebrow Gel:

Brow gel comes in a clear formula or a tinted one. The clear formula can be used to hold the little hairs in place to maintain the shape of the eyebrow. The tinted gel is meant to fill in the eyebrow while also helping shape it. 

My Tips for Beautiful Eyebrows

• When filling in your eyebrows keep in mind that they should not be entirely one solid color. Your eyebrows begin lighter and are a bit darker along the arch. In order to do this do not apply a lot of color at the beginning of your eyebrow, instead use the left over product on your brush and blend it. 
• If you have any hairs along your eyebrow that are out of space, you can use a bit of concealer to hide them. I always apply concealer around my eyebrow this gives them a clean and helps correct any little mistake. 
• My favorite angled brush is from the school I went to, Make-Up Designory. You can get it at http://www.mudshop.com/. It is the #210 Angle Liner Brush, for $16.00. This brush is very good for applying powder to the eyebrows and for blending as well. It is very stiff, which is great!Unti
