Brows are one of the most powerful features on your face. A good brow shape can lift your look, balance your features, and frame your face like magic. But overplucked, uneven or unkempt brows? Not so cute.
Whether you’re a brow beginner or a seasoned arch artist, follow these expert-backed tips to get your brow game on point.
1. Shape It Right: The 3 Golden Lines
Want to avoid a brow fail? Use this simple mapping technique for natural balance.
Start: Align a straight edge from the outer edge of your nostril straight up—this is where your brow should begin.
Arch: Line it up from the edge of your nostril through the centre of your pupil—that’s where your brow should peak.
End: Angle from the edge of your nostril to the outer corner of your eye—that’s where your tail should taper off.
2. Choose Your Method Wisely
Tweezing – Great for small touch-ups. Use a slanted tweezer, pull in the direction of hair growth, and soothe with aloe or witch hazel after.
Threading or Waxing – For clean lines and fast results, leave this to the pros.
Trimming – Use a spoolie to brush brows upward, then carefully trim any long hairs with brow scissors.
3. Define & Fill Like a Pro
Once your skin has calmed, it’s time to sculpt:
Sparse Brows? Use a pencil or pen to flick in natural hair-like strokes.
Go Bold? Fill in with brow powder or pomade using an angled brush.
Just Tame? Clear or tinted brow gels are perfect for hold and shape.
Pro Tip: Feather out the inner corners and sharpen the tail for a natural lift.
