Tuesday Tip!

Today's tip is all about eyebrows.  They can be very difficult to shape!  If you are at all unsure about shaping your own brows, head to a reputable spa for waxing or threading.  One opinion I have had lately is to not over pluck your brows.  Over plucking now will leave you will very thin eyebrows in your mature years and thin brows age the face.  I have included a diagram of angles to keep in mind when shaping your brows.

Axis A shows that your brow should begin above the outer edge of your nostril.  This is the most common mistake when women try to shape their own brows because they tend to take too much and end up with brows that are too far apart.  If you have created brows that are too far apart, stop plucking and let them grow back in our use a brow pencil to fill them in. Axis B shows the highest arch of your brow.  Most brows have a natural arch around this point so follow the natural arch.  Avoid plucking above the brow because it can really flatten your shape.  Axis C is the end of the brow.  Notice it extends past the length of the eye.  I always end up filling in this area because my natural brow ends at the eye, while filling in makes the eyes appear larger.  Avoid the comma brow.  I made this mistake A LOT in my teen years and notice how unflattering it is.  The comma brow is taking too much off the end of the brow but leaving the front of the brow full, creating a comma shape.  If this shape has been created, there are two solutions.  Thin out the front of the brow if you are not going to end up with pamela anderson-thin eyebrows.  The other solution is to grow out the back of the eyebrow and start again.
