Getting The Right Eyebrow Shapes

By Myrtle Cash


Getting the right eyebrow shapes can be quite a challenge. Some pluck too much hair and end up with spare, thin brows. Given the difference in facial features, it can be hard to determine how these growths can be contoured for the best effect. The following are some tips that can help you get this right.

One should take the time to examine ones facial shape before going ahead with the plucking or waxing. Determine if your face is round, diamond shaped, square, heart shaped and so on. Brows have to compliment your existing features and they should be contoured accordingly. Tweezers should easily get those unwanted hairs out.

Square faces are best with a thick brow. The peak should be where the jawline is at its widest. For round faces, an arched look would be complimentary. Archs serve to elongate the face or soften the jawline. Those with long faces should go for flatter growths while a heart shaped face will look good with a round arch.

Your brows should begin at the edge of your nose. Just think of a line that starts from the outer edge of your nose going up to your brows. A diagonal line starting at the center of your lips, hitting the edge of your nose, and going straight to the outer area of your eye will tell you where the brow should end.

It will be easier to remember what the contour should be if you can have something to line the area with. A brow pencil should do the trick. You can apply this to your brows, and any hair growing outside of the indicated area, can then be plucked.

As you probably have noticed, the hair on your brow can grow in various directions. This can make plucking tricky as you might think one wants to be removed when in fact, it just has too much length. This can be the case for hair growing downwards. Therefore make it a practice to examine the area before plucking.

Tweezing can be a good option when you want to get unwanted hairs out. The key is to get a good pair of tweezers so that you will not have difficulty getting at the small, thin hairs. Washing our face with warm water will soften the area and make it easier to pluck the hairs. Plucking should be done where there is good lighting. Check yourself in the mirror periodically.

Not all people will have the skill to do this task satisfactorily. Consider going to a professional. This has often been recommended for first timers. These experts are more experienced at shaping and will give you good results. The only thing you will have to do after is to maintain the contour they have provided.

Good eyebrow shapes are necessary to open up your face and soften sharp angles. With the right choice, you can look younger and you can emphasize your facial features. The process of shaping will consist of getting unwanted hairs out but one must be careful not to pluck too much or too little.
