To pluck your eyebrows, you must have the necessary tools, properly disinfected, and follow the steps correctly, in order to obtain the best results and avoid removing excess hair or choosing an eyebrow shape that does not adapt to the shape of your face.
See how to make a perfect eyebrow:
1. Adapt the eyebrow to the shape of the face
Before plucking your eyebrows, you should pay attention to the shape of your face, to choose the eyebrow shape that best suits you:
- Oval face: The eyebrows should be arched and long, but not at a very pronounced angle;
- Round face: Eyebrows must be well filled, with an arched shape and never rounded;
- Rectangular face: The eyebrows must be straight, and may have a more pronounced curve at the tip;
- Triangular face: Eyebrows can be arched or rounded.
Learn to identify your face shape.
2. Draw the eyebrow
Using an eyeliner, mark the key points of the eyebrow, as shown in the image.
To do this, you must start by drawing an imaginary line from the bridge of the nose, passing through the inner corner of the eye to the eyebrow, where you must mark a point with the pencil, which corresponds to number 1 in the image.
Then, you must mark the arch of the eyebrow, which is where the eyebrow will be highest, drawing an imaginary line that goes from the bridge of the nose and passes through the middle of the eye, the iris, to the eyebrow, marked by the number 2 on the image.
Finally, the last point results from an imaginary line from the bridge of the nose, which passes through the outer corner of the eye to the eyebrow, where it should end, corresponding to point 3 in the image.
3. Comb your eyebrows
After marking the points that will help define the shape of the eyebrow, you should brush the hairs, in the direction of their growth and slightly upwards, with the help of a soft brush or a brush adapted for eyebrows.
Mascara brushes can also be used for this purpose, but they can only be used after being thoroughly cleaned, so a brush from a mascara that the person no longer uses must be used.
4. Remove hair
With the help of small scissors, you should slightly trim the hairs that are too long and larger than the rest, on the top of the eyebrow, which became more visible after brushing the eyebrow.
With tweezers, you can remove the hair between the two eyebrows that were delimited by the two points drawn with the pencil and you must also remove excess hair, below the eyebrow, corresponding to the arched region.
5. Fill in the blanks
To fill in gaps, give the eyebrow a more pronounced effect and make it more beautiful, you can apply an eye shadow, eyebrow gel or brown pencil, in the same tone, which makes the eyebrow more prominent and uniform.
It is important to be careful not to paint your eyebrows too much to avoid giving them an artificial appearance, so the ideal is to gradually apply a small amount of product over the entire eyebrow and evaluate the result.
