You'll be amazed how finding your perfect arch and creating a nicely-opened eye area can change your appearance. Here's a simple lesson in eyebrow shaping:

  1. 1. Look straight into the mirror. Hold a pencil vertically against one nostril. See where the pencil meets your brow? That's where your eyebrow should start. Tweeze in the middle between there and the other eyebrow.
  2. 2. Next, pluck only from beneath the eyebrow and remove any obviously stray hairs.
  3. 3. To get the right arch, angle the pencil to the outer side of your pupil, with the eraser end at the side of your nostril, and the top just past the middle of your eye. The spot where the pencil hits the eyebrow is where the top of the arch should be, about three-quarters of the way out. Create a line that tapers upwards to this point. Repeat on the other side.
  4. 4. Next, angle pencil so it aligns with the outer corner of the eye. Where it hits the eyebrow is where the eyebrow should end. At this point, it should taper slightly down.
  5. 5. Now, use your Brow & Eyemakers Pencil with very light, feathery strokes to fill in gaps along the entire eyebrow line.

Pro tip: If you have long eyebrow hairs, trim them with manicure scissors to keep them looking neat. It's a good idea to trim before you tweeze; it will help you see the natural shape of your eyebrow and locate where individual hairs fall.
