The eyebrows is a part of the facial features that if left unkempt can mar ones look. proper grooming will keep your eyebrows neat and appealing. While it acceptable to trim the eyebrows, it is wrong to completely shave it off and draw lines with eye pencil. When you know the right shape for your eyebrow, you can use that to achieve a flawless look. If you can’t hire a professional to help you out, there are DIY tips you can try at home. Here are ways to make your eyebrows stand out:
1. Tweeze after shower
Tweezing can be painful, to ease the pain , do it after showering. The warm water opens up the follicles and allow hair to be soft for pulling out. Use a pair of tweezers and pluck your eyebrows.
2. Know your face shape
When it comes to your brows, there are a few set of rules you should be aware of before you pluck away your arches. So use a brow pencil as a guide to help you find the beginning, end, and arch of your eyebrows. The beginning of your brow should start right where your nostril begins. Hold the pencil vertically against the bridge of your nose and on top of your nostril to help you find the starting point. To find your arch, place the pencil on the tip of your nose and angle it straight across your pupil. Finally, to find the end of your brow, simply take the pencil, at an angle, and place it against the end of your nose and eye. If the tail end of your brow hits the place where the pencil ends, then your eyebrows are the perfect length. If your brow is too long, then tweeze some of those hairs away.
3. Use good lighting
Before you tweeze your eyebrows, ensure you have good lighting. The worst thing you can do is try to pluck your eyebrows in a dimly lit room. You can also take advantage of natural light so you can see all those tiny hairs you need to pluck. Don’t use a magnifying mirror instead the normal mirror gives best results.
4. Tweeze in direction of hair growth
If you see a tiny black hole where you just tweezed, it means you didn’t pluck the whole hair follicle. To prevent this next time, tweeze in the direction of your hair growth. That way you capture the whole strand easily.
5. Trim your eyebrows
Keep your eyebrows looking fresh by trimming the front part of your brows. Start by brushing the front of your eyebrows straight up and carefully trim the extra uneven hairs. Then, brush the tail end of your eyebrows toward the inner part of your brow and slightly trim those hairs, too.
6. Fill in your eyebrows
Instead of filling in eyebrows completely, lightly stroke in the direction of the hair growth. Focus on filling in your arches—natural eyebrows are usually darker in that area. The beginning of your brows are usually lighter and spread out more.
7. Add some dimensions
To elevate your brows, you can swipe a highlighter right below the arch and run it along till the end of the tail. This will help illuminate your brows and really make them glow.
