Eyebrows can make or break your entire look, they can make your eyes look droopy when they're not, or make you look angry when your not. This is why it is essential to be very cautious when grooming your own brows.
Mistake No. 1: Misplacing your arch
Many women create an arch in their brows that is too close to the center of their eye, which causes the front of the brows to remain thick and middle to the ends to be way too thin.
The fix: First, let your brows grow back in. To speed up that process, try using an all natural hair growth product like (ModelCo Lash & Brow Growth Stimulator £18.00). Then next time you tweeze, grab a pencil and hold it parallel to the outer edge of your iris. The point where the pencil hits your brow is where your arch should be.
Mistake No: 2: Tweezing too often
Tweezing everyday, or every few days is too much, you may think you're just cleaning up stray hairs, but you may be removing hairs that are essential to your shape.
The fix: Plan to tweeze your brows once every three weeks, when you stop obsessing over those tiny hairs, they won't bother you as much. And you'll see that you're brows do actually grow when maybe you thought they didn't.
Mistake No. 3 Taking too much or not enough off the ends
Brows that have tails (ends) thats are too short lack elegance, but brows that are too long and curve down, can actually make your eyes appear droopy. so they should be just right.
The fix: To know where the ends of your brows should hit, touch your actual brow bone. you'll be able to feel a little pint where the ocular bone ends, thats where your brows should also end.
Mistake No. 4 Using a magnifying mirror when plucking
If you can't the hair in a regular mirror then neither can anyone else. Using a magnifying mirror is also not the best way to get perspective on how your overall brow shape is looking, so you'll end up tweezing too much.
The fix: Use a regular mirror and make sure you have a good, natural light when tweezing.
Mistake No. 5: Tweezing more than one hair at a time
Though it may seem like a time-saver, plucking more than one hair is dangerous when it comes to perfecting your brow shape, you'll be more likely to create holes in your brows.
The fix: Every single hair you pull should be one that you have thoughtfully decided needs to go. Once you pluck one or two hairs at separate times, of course, step back and look at yourself in the mirror. This will help you get full effect of your shape. then you can go back in to pluck more if necessary.
Mistake No. 6: Getting rid of ''sprouts''
Like brooke shields she had those little sprout-like hairs on the inner portion of her brows that made them unique and special. Don't pluck them, if anything trim them. They are a beautiful thing making you look youthful and shouldn't be taken out, women who have them always want to get rid of them and women who don't have them want them.
Mistakes No.7: Trimming too much
The same rule applies to trimming, if you trim many hairs at once and trim them too short, you'll likely end up with sparse bald areas.
The fix: Trim one hair at a time, brush the inner portion of your brows up and trim only hairs that are longer than the rest, one at a time. Brush the outer portion of your brows down and do the same.
Mistake No. 8: Filling in brows with a pencil or powder thats too dark
This is the biggest mistake when filling in brows. If the brow pencil or powder you're using is the same colour as your hair, its too dark. too dark brows look very unnatural.
The fix: Choose a pencil or powder that's a shade or two lighter than your brow colour. Or use a tinted brow gel, which looks even more natural and adds fullness and length to your brows, fill them with pencil first, top that with powder then finish with a tinted brow gel. If your brows look good everything else will look good.
Bonus Brow Grooming Tips
Tip 1: If you're a wimp when it comes to plucking, use children's teething gel to slightly numb the area.
Tip 2: Before using tinted brow gel to fill in and enhance your brows, wipe the wand with a tissue to remove excess product. Having too much gel on the wand can get messy-looking.
Tip 3: Avoid waxy pencils for filling in your brows, they can look unnatural. To make sure the product you're choosing isn't too oily, draw a line on the back of your hand, if the product seems dry, if the product seems dry, its a keeper. if not move on. (korres do really oily eye pencils which always run).
