How to take care of eyebrows?

Ever wondered, how you can get perfectly beautiful eyebrows?

1. Find A Professional

The major blunder women do while defining brows is over plucking, specially above the nose, as a result of which, eyes tend to look smaller and nose bigger. Accomplishing a perfect brow shape at home is a little tricky. It’s best to get a professional to work on your brows when you have no clue how to get them groomed. A professional can work on your eyebrows, keeping your face shape in mind.

2. Opt For Threading Over Waxing

Waxing is best achieved only at a salon with trained hands.The skin around the eyes is very sensitive and if waxed, can rip a nerve around your eyes. It is not ideal for those with sensitive skin. Threading is more precise and not as painful as waxing.

3. Tweeze It

Don’t run to the parlor every time for the maintenance of your eyebrows. Invest in a good pair of tweezers, and with the help of some nice tutorials, learn how to tweeze your own eyebrows. Using tweezer is the most painless and natural way of pulling out stray strands in the direction of hair growth and with regular practice you can definitely master it. Soak a soft and clean washcloth in warm water and apply it to your eyebrow for five minutes to open the pores and softens the hairs, making it much easier to tweeze. Make sure not to over-pluck it or disrupt the arch. Never tweeze the top of your eyebrow.

4. Brows According To Your Face And Eye Shape

While getting your eyebrows groomed, keep your face shape in mind. The shape of your eyebrows can make your face look thinner or bigger. For square face, align the tip of the brow with the widest angle of the jaw to balance out the strong jaw line and for round face, arched eyebrow is recommended to create a more oval look. Flat and straight eyebrows are apt for long face. For heart-shaped, a round arch is ideal as it soften the pointed chin.

For close-set eyes, make sure your brows aren’t too short, and for wide-set eyes, leave more hair in the inner parts of your brow to visually reduce some of the space in between your eyes.

5. Brush Your Brows

Before stepping out of your house, brush your eyebrows into place with an eyebrow comb. You can also spray a little hairspray on an eyebrow comb, and run it through your brows using upward strokes. If you don’t have an eyebrow comb, apply a little clear gel, mousse, or hairspray on your eyebrows with your fingertips. This will give you a clean, wide-eyed look and will also clear away any bits of pressed powder or eye-shadow. The hair product will make sure your brows stay in place.

6. Fill Them In

Fake it by filling in the sparse hairs with eyebrow pencil or eyebrow powder or even eyebrow mascara. Whether thick or thin, all eyebrows must be filled in for a fuller look. If you have sparse eyebrows, take pencil eyeliner and shade your eyebrow, depending on how dark and bold you want your eyebrows to be. Use a little highlighter just under the arch of your eyes to accentuate your brow line. This will make you look younger and your eyes look bigger and fresh. Here’s a tutorial on how to fill up thin eyebrows.
