If you don't like or can't pluck your eyebrows, there are other ways to shape your eyebrows. The shape of the eyebrows is very influential on the overall appearance of the face. So, always take care of your eyebrows.
Step
Part 1 of 3: Finding Out the Right Eyebrow Shape
Step 1. Understand the right eyebrow shape for your face shape
Just like the hairstyle, the shape of the face also determines the eyebrow shape that suits you.
- If you have a boxy jawline, gently arched brows and not too firm are the best choices. However, if you have a round face, firm eyebrows will look better because a round face lacks firm angles.
- If you have a heart-shaped face, thick eyebrows will make your face look "overdone". No need to thicken your eyebrows too much. Good eyebrows are eyebrows that are neat and not too thick. If your face is oval in shape, balanced and classic eyebrows are more suitable because your face shape is proportional.
Step 2. Line the eyebrows to shape them the way you want
Determine in advance the shape of your dream eyebrows before shaping them. You have to plan it carefully.
- Remember, the front of the eyebrows should be in line with the bridge of the nose.
- You can use a pencil to determine its location by making a thin dot. Brows that are inside the line will be bolded, while those that are outside the line will be smoothed or removed.
- You should start to form the eyebrows above the tear glands. Your eyebrows should be rising on the outside of the iris and the tips of your eyebrows should end at 45 degrees from the outer corners of your eyes.
- The arch of your eyebrows should be about of your nose bone. Tail eyebrows should be pointed. Find out the thickness of your eyebrows. Although it varies, the basic rule of thumb is 1/2 to 1 cm.
Part 2 of 3: Shaping Eyebrows with Wax or Embroidery
Step 1. Try waxing your eyebrows, either at home or at a salon
Waxing is a quick way to shape your eyebrows without plucking them. This will remove any other hair you don't want to see without using tweezers and a mirror. If you have dark, thick eyebrows, waxing may be the best way to go.
- At the salon, they will apply wax to the bottom and top of your eyebrows. Then, they'll put a small piece of cloth over it and pull it off (your eyebrows will be raised too). This method may be painful, but it will end quickly. One of the benefits of waxing is that your eyebrows will take longer to grow than using other methods.
- You can also purchase equipment for waxing at home. You can get it at the nearest pharmacy. However, you should try waxing at the salon first. Indeed, your eyebrows will grow again if the process fails. However, you still have to go through an unpleasant process. Home waxing kits usually contain wax and an applicator stick. Another home waxing kit is a wax strip that matches the shape of your eyebrows.
Step 2. Try embroidery to shape your eyebrows
Eyebrow embroidery uses cotton thread to remove your eyebrow hair in a circular fashion. Hair stylists can shape eyebrows precisely in this way.
- Please ask the salon or mall if they serve eyebrow embroidery. You are not advised to do it yourself unless you are trained. Eyebrow embroidery is an ancient art originating in eastern cultures.
- Waxes can be irritating if your skin is sensitive. However, eyebrow embroidery does not cause the same effect because there is no use of chemicals. Yes, that's one of the advantages of eyebrow embroidery. Another advantage is that it creates a detailed eyebrow shape.
Part 3 of 3: Treat Eyebrows in Other Ways
Step 1. Comb and smooth your eyebrows for a neat look
One way to tidy it up is to shape it using small manicure scissors (don't use big scissors!)
- First of all, start with the spoolie brush. Shaped like a mascara brush (without mascara ink). You can buy it at a pharmacy or beauty store. Comb your eyebrows up to smooth your eyebrows and help you define their natural shape.
- Then, cut the eyebrow hair that is longer than the top of your eyebrow. Careful! You cannot return what has been cut. Small scissors will be easier to use.
Step 2. Use an eyebrow pencil or powder to fill in your eyebrows so they look good
If you use tweezers, the eyebrow hair can be pulled out accidentally and excessively. Luckily there is a way to fix it. You can use a pencil or eyebrow powder to shape the eyebrows to make them look better.
- Thicken the thin parts of your eyebrows using an eyebrow pencil. You can buy it at a beauty store or pharmacy. Choose a color that matches the color of your eyebrows. If you don't have a pencil or eyebrow powder, you can use eyeliner or eyeshadow that matches the color. Do not scratch the eyebrow pencil too thick because it will look stiff. Instead, make eyebrows that look natural.
- For thickening, use eyebrow powder and a small makeup brush. The shape of the eyebrows will look natural. Use an eyebrow pencil and tweezers to find areas of the eyebrow that are still thin, starting from the front of the eyebrow to the arch. Then thicken it using powder or eyebrow pencil.
- Start applying the powder in the middle of the brow line. Thicken from the tip of the eyebrow to the base of your eyebrow. Use short, light strokes. You can brush harder under your eyebrows.
Step 3. Use eyebrow gel to make it more regular
Eyebrow gel is easily available and will make your brows look regular. Your eyebrows can also be shaped well.
- These gels are usually packaged like mascara, and come with an applicator that looks like a small mascara brush. These gels are usually transparent, but you can also buy colored gels.
- Another variation is to use hairspray or hairspray on your eyebrows. This method will hold your eyebrow hair in place, but will feel a little sticky.
Tips
- Don't get carried away when trimming your eyebrows, because your eyebrows will look too thin and silly!
- Do not use an old toothbrush, you can get an infection.
- Step back and look at the shape of your eyebrows as often as you can to make sure you don't trim them too much or miss a section.
