| HOW TO SHAPE
YOUR EYEBROWS |
Eyebrows really define and accent the face even without makeup. So
the right shape eyebrow is essential. Perfectly groomed brows are
an absolute must.

|
| 1, |
Find
a shape that suits your face; don't try to keep up with fashions that
won't suit you. For the best results it is good to tidy brows in good
light and to look into a magnifying mirror. |
| 2, |
Determine
where exactly should your brow begin. Brows may be jointed or separate.
If you have a natural jointed brow then you have the option to go
for a jointed fashion or you can opt for a separate style. For that,
the inside edge of your eyebrow should align with the inner corner
of your eye. Holding a ruler straight up and down against one nostril
can make the alignment. Where the ruler lands by your brow is where
it should begin. The brow should end a little past your eye. The easiest
way to find how long your eyebrow should be is to imagine the under-eye
line continued to where it would meet with the eyebrow.

If
you have a natural arch, work with it. If you need to create one,
the arch of your eyebrow should follow the curve of your upper eye
line. Define your eyebrows using either an eyebrow pencil or eyebrow
powder. Fill in the brow area that you want to preserve so you can
pluck outside the edges. Use sharp, good quality tweezers; otherwise
the hairs will break off instead of being plucked.

Always
pluck out eyebrows in the direction the hairs grow. Do it after a
bath or shower it will hurt less. A bit of an ice cube on the brows
can help numb the pain.
|
| 5, |
Start
plucking from underneath the eyebrow, working from the inside, by
the nose, to the outside. . Do a single hair at a time. Grip the hair
firmly and pull it in the direction in which it grows.

| MALE BROW |
|
For males, a strong brow makes a strong look. The hair should appear
full, thick and massive. Coating brow hair makes it look up to 1 1/2
times thicker. Unlike female brows, male
brows are not that thin and highly arched, rather thick tooth paste
like brow is preferred. Also it ends blunt.
