We can't say enough about the importance of good eyebrows. To say that eyebrows "frame the face" is a cliché, but an all too true cliché. Once you start noticing people's eyebrows, you'll see what a difference they make in one's overall attractiveness. Misshapen eyebrows are a nightmare, an atrocity that can ruin an otherwise stunning set of features. Bad eyebrows are worse than a bad haircut at least with a bad haircut you can wear a hat!
Luckily, there's something pretty cool about eyebrows: the ones Nature gave you are probably pretty close to perfect already. Pretty close – but there's always maintenance to be done, and sometimes Nature needs the help of a good set of tweezers.
If you plan on shaping your eyebrows or if you already do, here's a simple trick you should be armed with to find the ideal locations of the arches.
- Use your index fingers to gently press and lift the skin of your temples up toward your hairline.
- Pluck accordingly from the bottom of your brows.
Need some remedial brow help? Use the old pencil trick to determine where your brows should stop and start.
- Hold a pencil against the outer edge of your nostril pointing straight up toward the sky. Where the pencil hits (or doesn't hit) your eyebrow is its ideal starting point.
- Hold the end of the pencil against the same edge of your nostril and pivot it out (like a compass) to touch the outer corner of your eye. The pencil should be crossing the front of your face diagonally. Follow the line of the pencil to your eyebrow – that should be where it ends however, a little more eyebrow length is okay if you prefer a thinner brow.
