How To Shape Your Eyebrow Arch

 

The eyebrows are one of the most expressive features of the face and a great deal of emotion can be conveyed through them. Surprising then that when it comes to the topic of women’s beauty, the subject of eyebrows is often overlooked and underappreciated. Since the shape of your eyebrows, especially where your eyebrows arch, is so influential to your appearance, knowing how to shape your eyebrow arch is a must have skill to enhance your overall look.

 Easy Steps For Shaping Your Eyebrows

After removing all eye makeup look at your face in a well lighted mirror. To form the ideal eyebrow shape, simply follow three imaginary lines. Using an eyebrow pencil or anything long, straight and slender, hold the object vertically in front of your face. Line it up so that it touches the outer edge of your nostril and the inside corner of your eye. This line determines where your eyebrow should start . Mark where the line crosses your eyebrow with an eyebrow pencil or eyeliner. Do the same for the other eyebrow. Any eyebrow hair inside these two marks needs to be plucked out using tweezers or wax. If your eyebrows fail to reach the marks you have made above the inner corners of your eyes, then you will need to fill that part of the eyebrow area in.

Take the eyebrow pencil and hold it to the outer edge of your nostril again. This time, swing the pencil towards your pupil. Stop when the eyebrow pencil crosses the center of your pupil. Mark the spot where the line meets your eyebrow. This is where you arch should begin. Continue swinging the eyebrow pencil past your pupil to the outer edge of the iris (the colored portion) of the eye. Where the line intersects your eyebrow is where your eyebrow arch should be at its peak, or highest . Mark this spot with an eyebrow pencil. Repeat this process for the other eyebrow. During this step make sure that you are looking straight ahead; both your face and your eyes should be looking directly forward into the mirror. To create the arch, remove hairs from the bottom of the brow bone, not the top. The only time you should pluck hair from above the brow line is when you are removing any stray hairs that occur above the brow. After the peak, the arch should begin descending immediately.
