Above: I frequently see eyebrows that are uneven but here is an example with cowlicks as well. The brows are growing in different directions making them more of a challenge to maintain.After: Grooming and Shaping
Each brow has its own unique shape. Matching two brows as closely as possible is the goal. I trimmed, tweezed and filled in her brows with iBrowser 2, to give them a more balanced and groomed look. She was very excited about her new brows.
Brows are probably the single most important feature of your face. I once had a client in a make-up class who I thought was angry at me. Every time I looked at her, she seemed to be scowling. After closer examination, I realized the shape of her brows made her look mad. They both went up to a sharp point at the arch of the brow, seeming to furrow her eyebrows. I grabbed my tweezers and scissors and went to work. I took the points off the top of her brows, trimmed and reshaped the rest. She looked like a new person!
Too much or too little in eyebrows can change the entire expression of your face. It is important to learn how to groom and trim them, if necessary, to bring out your best features.
Use a pencil or long brush handle to gauge the following:
The inner brow should line up with the side of the nose and inner corner of the eye.
The outer brow should line up with the midpoint of the lip, the side of the nose and the outer corner of the eye.
The arch should line up with the side of the nose and the outer edge of the iris (while looking straight ahead).
If you’re a brunette, select a brow color slightly lighter than your natural hair color. If you’re blonde, choose a brow color close to your root color.
The most natural brow color is a grayish/taupe color - (Face Options color - iBrowser). Variations of this color can be shaded with black for those with dark brown or black hair - (Face Options color iBrowser 2). For red hair a warm brown is best - (Face Options color - Impact).
Ready to create attractive brows? Using a synthetic angle brush, outline the top of the brow first and fill in from there. You want a smooth, even line to give your brows their shape and arch. For a more natural look, use the side of your brow brush or pencil when applying color. For the outer portion of the brow from the arch out, avoid drawing a curve, which produces a surprised, unnatural look. Instead, draw a straight line toward the line of the upper opening to the ear.
