If you have thick eyebrows that want to be trimmed a bit, there are many things you can do to make them look more attractive. Trim your eyebrows by brushing, combing, and trimming the areas that are too dense. You can also pluck the hair around the eyebrows to make it look neater. Find the shape of your eyebrows before shaving and plucking them, so you're happy with the end result.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Trim Eyebrows with Scissors
Step 1. Brush your eyebrows upwards
Use a spoolie brush to brush the tops of your eyebrows straight up in a circular motion. Eyebrow hair that looks too long after you do this should be trimmed.
Step 2. Hold the hair in place with the brush
Use a spoolie brush to brush your eyebrows all the way to the top. Use the brush to hold the hair while trimming the ends that are too long to make it neat.
Step 3. Use the scissors to shave the hair above the brush
Use a nail clipper or hair clipper to remove any hair that is too long at the top of the brush. Focus on cutting the longest hair, then adjust the length of the rest of the hair by cutting it slightly to make it even. This will make your eyebrows look more natural.
Step 4. Brush the eyebrow hair from a 45 degree angle, then trim
Once you've trimmed the long sections, use a spoolie brush to comb the hair from your brows at a 45-degree angle. Hold the hair in place with a spoolie brush, then trim off any sections that seem too long.
Step 5. Comb the hair down and trim off the excess
Now, use the spoolie brush to brush the hair down. Trim the excess hair that is under the eyebrows.
Repeat the whole process above to smooth out the other eyebrows
Method 2 of 3: Using Hair Removal
Step 1. Take a shower before you pluck your eyebrow hair
Take a warm bath beforehand so that your skin pores open. This will make it easier to pull out the hair, reducing pain and the risk of irritation.
Step 2. Pull out the hair that is above the nose and under the arch of the eye
Cleaning the area can make a significant difference so that the eyebrows look more perfect and neat. Look for hair that grows under the arches of the eyes and above the bridge of the nose. Pinch the hair one by one with a hair pluck, then pull in one quick motion.
Use your fingers to loosen the skin where the hair has been pulled. This can reduce the pain
Step 3. Pull each hair in the direction it grows
Pay attention to the direction the hair is growing in before pulling it out. Make sure you pull it in the direction the hair is growing so it can get lost all the way to the roots. Pulling in the wrong direction can break the hair near the roots, allowing it to grow back.
Step 4. Stay away from the magnifying mirror so you don't pull out too much hair
Naturally, you'll want to increase your visibility into your brows so that every detail is clearly visible. Resist the urge, as this can give the illusion that you have more follicles than you should. If you're not careful, you can pull out too much eyebrow hair.
Pause for a moment, step back, and then look at the whole result in the mirror a few times as you pluck your eyebrows. This will prevent you from pulling out too much hair
Method 3 of 3: Getting the Right Shape
Step 1. Use the inner corner of your eye as a guide
To find the tip of the eyebrow, draw an imaginary line from the inner corner of the eye to the eyebrow. Scrape the hair that remains at the top of the bridge of the nose according to this line.
Step 2. Find an eyebrow shape that suits your face shape
Everyone is different. So, no pair of eyebrows is exactly the same because the slightest difference can make them look different on different faces. Pay attention to the shape of your face to find out what changes are needed to make your eyebrows look more attractive.
- If you have a long or rectangular face, straight, flat eyebrows will make your face appear smaller.
- Thick eyebrows will look too much for a person with a small face and a heart shape.
- Thick eyebrows can balance the appearance of people with a square jaw.
- Curved eyebrows can soften the corners of a gem-shaped face.
Step 3. Use eyebrow gel to make the hairs face in the same direction
Control your eyebrows with the use of eyebrow gel. Apply the gel by pressing it gently. This will help keep your eyebrows in the best shape for the whole day.
