Have beautiful eyebrows without breaking the bank. This easy step-by-step tutorial will help you achieve that eyebrows on flick you always dreamed of!

Learn How to Shape Eyebrows At Home In 7 Easy Steps

Step 1: Determine Where Your Eyebrows Start

|

First, determine where your eyebrows start and draw a line or mark using a pencil liner or an eyebrow pencil. Doing this step will give you a better result.

Step 2: Mark Your Arch

|

Next, find the arch of your brow and mark it. Remember that your arch depends on the shape of your face. If you have a longer face you should opt for a less defined arch.

Step 3: Mark Where Your Eyebrows End

|

Using the same pencil or marker, put a mark in the area where your eyebrows end. Avoid trimming the sides of your brows too short. To do this, you need to angle your pencil starting from your nostril to the far corner of your eye.

Step 4: Start Tweezing

|

Now, you can start tweezing. Be sure to always tweeze towards the direction of hair growth (this is a rule of thumb to follow for all hair removal). If your hair is pointing upwards, angle your hand downwards and pull it upwards in order to properly tweeze it. Make sure you haven’t missed any stray hair so the shape of your brow will be clearly shown. Ready, set, tweeze!

Step 5: Brush Your Eyebrows

|

After you’ve tweezed the stray hairs, brush your eyebrows upwards using a brow brush. This will make your eyebrows look fuller and natural.

Step 6: Trim Your Eyebrows

|

Using small scissors, trim down the edges of your eyebrows to make sure you keep its shape.

Step 7: Sanitize the Area

|

When you’re finished trimming the extra hair on the edges, make sure to sanitize the area using a cotton pad and witch hazel. This will help close the pores and ensure that you won’t break out. This is the last and probably the most important step in shaping your eyebrows.
