BROWS!!


#1 rule: DO NOT OVER-PLUCK!!  Please!  There is nothing pretty about thin overly- tweezed brows.  
Cardinal sin #2: Do not shape them into tadpoles with thin tails.  
Cardinal sin #3: Do not shave them or use a razor of any kind.
Then, follow these eight steps on how to get beautifully-shaped brows.



TOOLS:
  • Spooly brush or disposable mascara wand 
  • cuticle scissors
  • angled/slant tweezers
  • pointed tweezers
  • brow shadow (taupe for blondes, brown range for everyone else0
  • stiff brow shadow brush, pencil (to line up the angles).

1. With a disposable mascara wand or spooly brush, brush the hairs upward to prepare for Step 2.
2. With a pair of scissors, trim any hairs that are longer than your brow shape.
3. With angled tweezers, pluck areas above and below the brows, grabbing a couple at a time.
4. With pointed tweezers, grab stubborn single hairs and shorter ones.
5. To determine where your brow should start, hold a pencil or make-up brush along one side of your nose.  Where it crosses the inner corner of your brow, that’s where it should begin.
6. Now angle the pencil across the iris; that’s where the arch should begin.
7. Angle it to the end of the outer corner of the eye; that’s where the brow should end.
8. With those angles and lengths in mind, fill in the brows using light, feathery strokes as if you were drawing individual hairs.
