A slight look of mischief twinkling under a thinner eyebrow or a good-humoured glance set off by a perfect curve – the eyebrows are, without a doubt, one of the most expressive parts of your face. Here’s a sure-fire way to whip them into shape.
Eyebrow shaping 101
What’s the biggest no-no when it comes to eyebrows? Over tweezing! To steer clear of this common mistake, let the natural shape of your eyebrows be your guide. Then, starting with full eyebrows, follow these tips:
1. Visualize an imaginary line from the outside corner of your nose to the inner and outer corners of your eyes. These two lines indicate where your eyebrow should start and end.
2. After taming the brows with a small eyebrow brush, remove the hairs outside the defined area. If tweezing is too painful, run an ice cube over your eyebrow to numb the skin a little.
3. And remember never to pluck above the eyebrow.
Trends in eyebrows
Believe itor not, even eyebrows are subject to fashion trends! Very thin or drawn on brows are yesterday’s news, while thicker, more natural eyebrows are in.
The latest trend is to add a masculine touch. You do this by making sure the space between your eyebrows is slightly smaller than the width of your eyes. You’ll also want to brush them upward, and tussle them a bit.
Obviously this look might not suit all women. If that’s the case, your best bet is to keep your eyebrows natural, classic and well maintained.
Tweezing your eyebrows is a great way to highlight your eyes and bring out your features. Visit your local Uniprix today for all the beauty tools you’ll need to achieve the results you want.
