Perfectly groomed eyebrows balance your features and frame your
eyes. Plucking your eyebrows to achieve that perfect, face-framing arch can be tedious (and painful!) process. But since fuller, thicker brows are in style, you can (and should) spend less time with the tweezers.
- Know where your eyebrows
should start. Draw an invisible line from the outer sides of your
nostril to your brows. This is where your brows should begin to help you
start shaping your eyebrows the right way.
- Determine where your arch
should begin. Take the eye pencil and start at the end of your nose
and line it up to the point above your iris. It is to your discretion as
to how tall you would like your arch. Don’t go too high, you don’t want to
always look surprised.
- Find where your tail
should end. Start at your nose again and line up the end of your
eye. Everyone’s eyes differ in size and this is one of the many reasons
why no two people have the same shaped brows.
- Trim if needed. This is a great
way to get rid of bushy eyebrows without tweezing. Brush your eyebrows
straight up and trim whatever hairs are coming out of your natural shape.
If there are any uneven spaces, then just fill in with an eyebrow pencil
until more hair grows.
Eyebrow Shaping Tip #1: Choose the Right Tweezers
Opt for a sharp, slanted style. Unlike pointy versions, they grab tiny strays quickly and won't pinch your skin along with the hairs.

Eyebrow Shaping Tip #2: Tweeze after
you shower
Warm water
opens the follicles and softens hairs, helping them slip out more easily.
Eyebrow Shaping Tip #3: Reduce Redness
Immediately after tweezing, gently pat on an over-the-counter cortisone cream like to minimize any resulting inflammation.

Eyebrow Shaping Tip #4: Ease the Plucking Pain
If plucking is too painful or it's right before your period (when skin is most sensitive), dab on a numbing gel like Orajel-Baby Teething Pain Medicine before you tweeze.

Eyebrow Shaping Tip #5: Grow Them In
Overplucked? Refrain from tweezing for at least three weeks so you can see the natural growth pattern and shape.
