5 ways to get the perfect brows
Well-shaped eyebrows are essential to getting that perfect look. No matter how beautiful your eye make-up is, if your brows are messy and not done well, then the entire look will be ruined. Eyebrows also frame your eyes and make them look more defined. This is the reason why the market is flooded with brow products. Here are five ways to achieve perfect-looking eyebrows.
Figure out your face shape
It's extremely important to find your face shape to get natural eyebrows. It can be oval, round, long, square, heart, or diamond. Shallow arches and soft angles work best for oval faces while a lifted arch is perfect for a round face. To make a long face appear shorter, go with flat eyebrows. Rounded brows work best for diamond faces.
Do not over-pluck your eyebrows
You can use tweezers to get rid of some rogue hairs occasionally, but they are not the best option to shape your brows. Over-plucking your brows can permanently stop hair growth and can also damage the area underneath the hair follicle. But if you still want to go for it, we suggest you tweeze further away from your eyebrows.
Consider threading your eyebrows
Threading is your best bet to get those natural-looking brows. Threading is extremely precise and can remove hairs that are too short or fine. It can also pull hairs from underneath the surface to grab and remove since threading exerts pressure on top of your skin. We recommend getting your eyebrows threaded once a month to maintain that perfect brow shape.
Keep the tail of your brows in check
Considering the right place your brow ends is equally important as where it begins. Overextending the tail of your brows can pull your face down. To measure your eyebrow tail, place a pencil diagonally at your nostril. Set it straight toward the outer edge of your eyes. The place where the pencil hits your brow bone is where your eyebrows should end.
Do not forget to create a natural arch
Finding the right spot where the arch peaks is important to make your eyebrows look defined. If the arches are too pointed, they look fake. Instead, try to create a natural and subtle one. To create an arch, hold a pencil against your nostril. Set it up diagonally with the center of your eyes. That's the spot where a natural arch is.
Fill in your brows
Do not let sparse spots peak out and fill your brows with some brow powder or an eyebrow pencil. Choose a shade close to your natural brow color. Set it with a brow gel or brow mascara.
