THE PERFECT EYEBROWS: SHAPING

Eyebrows frame the face and draw attention to the eyes. I have seen countless tutorials on how to apply eye makeup and what colors to wear for your eye color but I have not seen a good eyebrow lesson. I think it is about time. I cannot tell you how many girls I have seen who are absolutely beautiful but they always look surprised or constantly confused. This is why it is important to have your eyebrows groomed properly.  This post is all about how to groom your eyebrows for your face but I have also posted how to dye them without looking like Groucho Marx and how to get a natural look using an eyebrow pencil!

How to shape your eyebrows
There are four easy guidelines to make sure your eyebrows stop and start where they are supposed to and arch where they need to arch.

1.Take a ruler or straight edge and hold it against the side of your nose making a line to the corner of your eye. Where this line extends, above your eye, is where your eyebrows should begin.
2. Take your ruler or straight edge and draw an imaginary line from the side of your nose through the iris (the colored part of your eye). Where this line extends is where the arch of your eyebrow should be.
3. Now use your ruler to draw an imaginary line from the side of your nose to the outside corner of your eye. Where this line extends to is where your eyebrows should end.
4. Last of all, take your ruler or straight edge and place it horizontally. Where your eyebrows start and where they end should make a perfect horizontal line.
Using the features of your face you can get a perfect eyebrow that is perfect for your face. You may not have enough eyebrow hair and have to pencil them in to get them just right. Everyone’s eyebrows vary in thickness and how wide or slim you want your eyebrows depends on your preference. Personally, I love a thick bold eyebrow.
