  • You must realize where the arch goes, and where it does not go.
  • Also, don’t pull out hairs willy-nilly because you don’t like the color or texture, or that there is a cowlick.
  • You must preserve the brow hairs that keep the shape YOUR FACE demands, your face shape.

Beyond the standard rules for placement of the arch and length, your brows should reflect your overall facial structure, so the stronger your bone structure and/or coloring, the stronger you can wear your brow. Conversely; the softer your look, the softer your brow should be.

Also, beware of “comma” brows!

Lastly, keep in mind that your eyebrows are “sisters, not twins,” so don’t go too crazy trying to make them match each other perfectly.

The best way to determine the points on your eyebrow is to compare your nose to the iris of your eye and to the end of the your eye. Take a ruler or comb and starting at your nose, point the rule straight up and that will tell you where your eyebrows should begin. Make a mark with the brow pencil.

Then hold the ruler from your nose to your iris. This will determine where your arch should be. Mark your brow. Do the same from your nose to the end of your eye. That marks the end of the brow. Fill in your eyebrows
