Step 1 - Find The Inner Edge of the Brow
Place your orange stick vertically from the corner of the nose up to the inner corner of the eye. This is the place where the eyebrow should start, any hairs on the outside of the stick should be removed with your tweezers.
Step 2 - Find The Outer Edge Of The Brow
Move the top of the orange stick to the outer corner of the eye, keeping the bottom anchored to the corner of the nose. This is where the eyebrow should end. Remove any hairs outside of the stick.
Step 3 - Now The Center or Highest Point of the Eye Brow Arch
Look directly forward and align the orange stick so it goes through the middle of the pupil. It is here that the eyebrow arch should be at its highest point.
Step 4 - Add the Finishing Touches
You can further improve the look by ensuring that all stray hairs from between the eyebrows and under the eyebrow, towards the eyelid, are removed, leaving a smooth and defined shape.
More Top Tips for the Perfect Brows
- Apply a warm towel to open the pores making it less painful when plucking.
