Who doesn't crave beautifully shaped eyebrows? As beauty professionals with years of experience helping clients achieve flawless brows, we've perfected this simple step-by-step process. You'll have salon-worthy results at home in no time.
If you've over-plucked in the past and regretted it, now's the time to let your eyebrows grow back fully. A great brow needs sufficient hair to shape properly. To encourage growth and strength, gently massage coconut oil into your brows before bed—nature's boost for healthier follicles.
Finding the perfect shape for your face is simpler than you think. Grab a pencil: Hold it vertically from the edge of your left nostril to your forehead—this marks where your brow should start. Tilt it diagonally to the outer corner of your eye for the ideal end point. For the arch, position it at a 45-degree angle from your nostril, passing over your pupil. Repeat on the right side and lightly outline both brows.
With your brows grown out and shape mapped, prep wisely. Skip magnifying mirrors to prevent over-plucking. Opt for a standard mirror and tweeze after a warm shower—the steam softens hairs, making removal less painful and more precise.
Ready? Comb your brows upward, then sideways for a clear view. Pluck stray hairs outside your outline one by one, focusing on the center between brows, below the arch, and around the lid area. For extra control, pencil in the shape first and tweeze along the edges. Remember: Brows are sisters, not twins—aim for harmony, not identical symmetry. Invest in quality tweezers, such as these.
Enhance fullness by filling sparse areas. Use a thin eyebrow pencil (this one works wonders) to draw fine, hair-like strokes. Build gradually for natural density. Blend with a spoolie brush if needed for a seamless finish.
Seal the look with eyebrow gel. Brush hairs up for a lifted effect, then apply tinted gel for added fullness and all-day hold. We recommend this fan-favorite.
