Can you give me some tips on how to shape my own eyebrows?

Shaping and coloring the brow is an art form, and can make a dramatic difference in the shape your eye or even making your whole face and demeanor look more youthful. Some techniques to shape the brow include tweezing, waxing or threading to remove unwanted hair. Once you have the basic shape, you can use a little color to fill in gaps, or just make the brow appear a bit more full.

Start with combing the hairs upward and trim any long hairs. Then comb downward, and trim any remaining long hairs. To determine where the brows should begin, look at where the inner corner of the eye begins and use that as a guide. ????If your eyes are close-set, make the space between the brows a little wider. If your eyes are wide-set, keep the brows a little closer together. To determine where the highest point of the arch should be, hold a straight edge from the edge of your nostril on a diagonal past the outer edge of the eye’s iris and on to the eyebrow. To determine where the brow should end, hold the straight edge from the edge of your nostril on a diagonal past the outer corner of the eye and on to the eyebrow. Aim for a smoothly arched brow that tapers at the outer ends. If you makeup is needed, use an eyebrow pencil or brow powder in a color that is a shade lighter than your natural brow hair. For a natural look, use short, light strokes instead of a single, solid line.
