How to Arch Your Eyebrows

Brow Power

One of the easiest ways to achieve a well groomed look without an ounce of makeup is by having your eyebrows properly arched. I will first recommend having an initial consultation with a brow- shaping professional who will help you chose the correct arch style for you and create a look that can be easily maintained at home. Eyebrow arching is somewhat of a risky procedure. If hairs are overplucked, it can take months for them to grow back. There are many ways to shape your eyebrow. You can tweeze, wax, or shave. I've found tweezing lasts the longest, and allows for precision. So this is the way I recommend.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• A good pair of tweezers
• mirror
• bright light or daylight
• patience

Step1

First, you need to chose the correct shape for your brow. Your brow shape depends on the shape of your eye. The eye and the brow should look balanced.
-If you have small eyes, you should thin your brows so they don't overwhelm the eye area and detract from the natural beauty of your eyes.
-If you have a full or wide eye, your brow should be full.

Step2

Shaping Next, you need to find where your brow should go. You should
take an eyeshadow brush or pencil and hold it parallel to your nose.Where the brush meets your brow is where the brow should begin.
-To find the end of your brow, extend the brush diagonally from your nostril, following the outside edge of your toward the brow. Where the inside edge of your brush hits is where the brow should end.
-To find your arch, hold the brush parallel to the outside edge of the colored part of your eye (iris). Where the brush meets the brow is where the highest part of where you brow should be.

Step3

Now you know the shape you are going for you now want to begin the tweezing process. If you visited with a professional you should only be looking for strays that have returned. If not, began by tweezing the inner brow above the nose. Be sure to tweeze pulling each hair out in the direction it is growing in.

Step4

Tweeze the brow above the pupil of the eye to create the arch.

Step5

Continue tweezing along the brow as it tapers off in the direction of its natural flow.

Step6

Make sure all hairs in the tweezed areas are removed.
