If the adage, “the eyes are the windows to the soul” holds true, then eyebrows are the window frames.So, if your eyebrows are unkempt or badly shaped, they will certainly detract from your beautiful eyes.
Eyebrows that are too high will give you a permanently surprised look. Too low and straight brows can cover up your brow bone area and make you look masculine.
Brows drooping at the outer end can make you look sad. Those that are too high at the outer half can give you an extraterrestrial appearance. So what shape should you have, especially if your virgin brows are bushy or connected above your nose (uni-brow)?
Even though trends sometimes dictate a particular shape, there is a standard formula that governs a personal shape and style for each individual. The result is fabulous looking brows that will enhance your eyes and eye makeup.
Follow these basic rules and your brows will always look fantastic and sexy, no matter what’s in style.
Shaping
The most important element of shaping brows is a well-placed arch.
1.To select the most appropriate point for your arch, envision a line from the corner of your nostril along the pupil of your eye. The point where the line meets your eyebrow is the most suitable for the arch. Brush your brows straight up and use a white eye pencil to draw the line of your arch. Remove the hairs that fall under the white pencil mark
2. To find where your eyebrows should begin, draw a line from the corner of your nostril along your inner eye corner. The point where the line meets your eyebrows is good for starting your brows
3.The tail end of the brows can be determined with a line from the corner of your nostril along the outer corner of your eye. Where the line meets the brow is where the eyebrows should end.l Once you have established the position of your brows, removing unwanted hairs to give you clean brow lines should be the next step.
