How to Pluck & Shape Eyebrows

Learn how to pluck and shape eyebrows, and you’ll be amazed how finding your perfect arch and creating a nicely opened eye area can change your appearance. Pro Tip: It’s much less painful to pluck eyebrows after a shower, when pores are still open.

STEP 1
Look straight into the mirror. Hold a pencil vertically against one nostril. See where the pencil meets your brow? That’s where your brow should start. Tweeze in the middle between there and the other brow.

STEP 2
Next, pluck only from beneath the brow and remove any obvious stray hairs.

STEP 3
To get the right arch, angle the pencil to the outer side of your pupil, with the eraser end at the side of your nostril, and the top just past the middle of your eye. The spot where the pencil hits the brow is where the top of the arch should be, about three-quarters of the way out. Create a line that tapers upwards to this point. Repeat on the other side

STEP 4
Next, angle the pencil so it aligns with the outer corner of the eye. Where it hits the brow is where the eyebrow should end. At this point, it should taper slightly down.

STEP 5
Now, use your Brow & Eyemakers Pencil with very light, feathery strokes to fill in gaps along the entire brown line.
