You don’t have to pay spa prices to get beautiful eyebrows. Helga Surratt, President of About Faces Day Spa & Salon, in Baltimore, MD, offer eyebrow shaping tips to help you look your best.
Before you get started with hair removal, consider what you want your eyebrows to look like and what shape best suits your face, says Surratt. She offers this advice regarding eyebrow shaping.
For small eyes: Make your brows a little thicker by building them up just a bit on the top.
For deep-set eyes: Enlarge the space between the eyes and brows.
For close-set eyes: Widen the space between the brows a little by plucking, and extend the ends of the brows with an eyebrow pencil.
For wide-set eyes: Do not extend the eyebrows out at the ends; instead, pencil them in a little closer to the nose.
Eyebrow Shaping Tips
Brush your eyebrows up and snip the longest hairs beyond the natural arch using sharp, tiny nail scissors, taking care not to take off too much at the outer corners. Brush brows down and trim what is below the brow line in the same way.
When tweezing, to lessen discomfort from plucking, wipe the brow area with a cotton ball soaked in an astringent. The cooling effect numbs the skin for some time. However, Surratt advises against using ice to numb the skin. “Cold tightens the pores and holds the hair follicle firmly, which makes tweezing more difficult,” she says. Instead, she recommends using a warm washcloth on your brows or shaping them following a hot shower.
Take a lipstick liner pencil and position it vertically in line with the side of your nose. This point is where your eyebrow should begin. You can use the lipstick pencil to mark the spot lightly, to use as a guide. Tweeze hair that falls beyond this point, between the eyes.
