How to Shape Your Eye Brows at Home

 

Eyebrows are one of the most precious features on our face. Paying attention to the shape of our brows is crucial, only because of how they frame our face and features. A well-groomed brow helps to shape your face in a natural way. The decade has increased demand for intentionally bushy, yet somehow still clean-looking eyebrows.

 

1. Tweezing

Tweezing is the way to go if you want to remove stray hairs. You will be pulling both the root and the hairs with the tweezers even though they will eventually grow back over time. Keep in mind that when you tweeze your eyebrows do not do it against the direction of natural growth.

Tools Needed

•  First of all assess the shape of your eyebrows.
•  Stick to the natural shape of your eyebrows.
• Using your tweezers as a guide, hold them up to your eyebrows to measure where to begin.
• Align the top of your nose bridge with the tweezers bridge of your nose.
• Hold the tweezers and angle it the same direction up to the peak for the top of your brows.
• Enhance and fix your natural brow shape by shaping and cleaning up whatever is outside the shape.
• Now take the right scissors and trim of course after brushing where needed.
• Do this every after 3 or 4 weeks.
• We recommend using a brow pencil or powder to fill in your brows.
• Fill your brows to wherever you think they're good.
• Step back and check out to make sure they look even.
• If needed continue to tweeze a few hairs then lightly fill in with the eyebrow pencil till perfect.
• Avoid heavily filling the brows in. 

2. Filling Eyebrows with Eye Brow Powder

 

Tools Needed

Eyebrow Pencil

Eyebrow Powder

Spoolie brush

There are many different types of brow products out there. For example eye pencils, powders, pomades, etc.  But as for me, I prefer using an eyebrow powder for its easy to use. Just find your favorite that matches your brow.

 

Method

• Take your angled eyebrow brush and brush down your brows.
• A lot of eyebrow brushes come with a spoolie on the other end.
• Or you can clean and then use a mascara wand.
• Use your brush to pick a little brow powder and softly fill in the bare area of your eyebrow.
• We recommend using short, feather-like strokes, starting from the area under your eyebrows for a naturally fuller-looking brow.
• Be sure to brush through the hair to blend the product.
• Make sure to follow the direction of the hair.
• Once you’re done filling in that area, use the spoolie to brush your eyebrow hairs upwards and into place.
• If you notice any area that needs extra powder now that the brows are in place, go ahead and fill it in.
• Make sure that you use the correct shade so that they blend in much better with your natural brows.

3. Filling Your Eye Brows with a Pencil

Below is a step-by-step tutorial about filling in eyebrows naturally and quickly every morning using an eyebrow pencil. When it comes to filling in your brows with a pencil, it is important to keep things natural.

Brow Brush

Brow Gel

Method

• First, brush your brows to make sure they are neat.
• Next, use your pencil in light, upward strokes to fill them in.   
• Use a brush to blend out the product.
• If you have wild brows, you can finish them off with a clear eyebrow gel to keep them intact.

A concealer is not used just to cover unwanted blemishes or dark circles under the eyes. It can be used to shape and lift eyebrows. The more defined and lifted your brows look, the more bright and rested you'll appear. Below are our tips on how to use concealer to shape your eyebrows.

Method

 

• Find your perfect concealer shade.
• Concealer should be a shade lighter than your natural skin tone so as to end into your skin while still serving as a highlight.
• Test out a few concealer shades on your skin to find your perfect shade.
• Find the one that appears natural and has a good texture.
• Get your brows shaped to make the shadow and concealer look that much better.
• Shaping your brows will help smooth out stray hairs for better concealer application.
• Apply a light layer of concealer under the brow using a thin, angled brush.
• Draw a line with a flat concealer brush to blend the concealer to make it unnoticeable.
• If you need more definition, apply the concealer at the top part of your eyebrows, as well.
• Fill in bare areas to create your brow shape.
• Pay attention to your arch since it is the main point for your brows.
• Trim your long eyebrow hair using a small pair of scissors.
• When you are done filling in your brows, brush using a brow gel to make sure the hairs are all pointing in the right direction.
• Brush upward to create that desired feathery look and to lift the complete look of your eyes.
