How to Perfectly Shape Your Brows
Having the right brow shape can seriously change your entire look, but let's face it, the maintenance is one of those tasks that can go pretty wrong very quickly. You don't want to look perpetually shocked or have an over-plucking fiasco right before prom night! To avoid disaster and end up with perfect brows for the big event, follow this simple tutorial!
Personal style blogger Arushi Khosla of Bohemian Like You walks you through the eyebrow grooming breakdown step-by-step.
1/7Get a killer arch just in time for prom.
2/7Prep Your Brows
Tweeze stray hairs that are out of place, but don’t go overboard. Take a step back from the mirror every few plucks to check your work. You’ll be done sooner than you realize!
The Tweezerman Perfection Slant Tweezers are the go-to tool for plucking because of their precise point.
3/7Brush Downward
With a spoolie wand or clean toothbrush, comb the brows in a downward motion to reveal the natural shape of the brow.
4/7Add Fullness
Sketch in your brow with a pencil or fill it in lightly with a powder one shade lighter than hair’s natural color. This will create the definition without looking too severe. If the brow is naturally thick or heavy, only fill where necessary. This will likely be at the arch and outer corner of the brow. For the most natural look, don’t go too heavy on the inside.
The Anastasia Beverly Hills Perfect Brow Pencil is a cult classic beauty must-have. You can easily build up the level of color you’d like with the amount of pressure you apply as you glide it across your brows. And the spoolie on the opposite end can help you with step three!
5/7Define Your Shape
Diffuse any hard lines by patting or lightly sweeping your foundation brush over the brows.
The Chanel Foundation Brush has an angled tip, making it easy to work over and around your eyebrows.
6/7Set It in Place
Finish with a clear brow gel. This will keep them in place all day and night!
Sonia Kashuk’s Brow Gel keeps every hair from straying without leaving brows feeling stiff.
7/7The Finished Look
Now that the foundation is set, you can easily maintain your gorgeous brows.
