🍭This is a deeply analyzed guide on how to get the best eyebrows for your face. Step- by- step, we will go through a progress of analyzation, growth, reshaping ++ more for your eyebrows ⋆. 𐙚 ˚
After identifying your face shape, it's time to find what eyebrow shape suits it more.
Round face➡️angular brows with high arch to elongate the face, add structure to the roundness and make the face look longer and slimmer
Square face➡️softly curved arch to balance with the overall sharpness of your face and add femininity or a high angular
Oval face➡️even though almost everything suits you, a soft natural arch is the best
Heart face➡️slight arch (not high !) to balance with your narrow chin. The curve should be gentle, rise slightly and then soften as it curves down towards the temples.
Diamond face➡️softly arched brows to soften the angles of your forehead and jawline. The arch should start slightly before the outer edge of the iris and peak subtly before tapering down.
Oblong/long face➡️straight eyebrows with a slight arch will give width and balance to your face.
Inverted triangle➡️soft arched eyebrows are recommended in order to balance your wider forehead and soften your pointed chin.
Finding your natural brow structure 🔬
To locate the start of the brow we will draw an imaginary line that starts from the outer nostril and goes up straight, reaching the start of the brow. To locate the arch of the brow we will draw an imaginary line that starts from the nostril and and gows through the iris of your eye to the arch of the brow. Lastly, to locate the end of the brow, we will draw an imaginary line from the nostril that goes past the outer corner of your eye and reaches the end of the brow.

People forget that your eyebrows have to be healthy as well. Healthy brows means lush and youthful brows.
➡️avoid harsh products. Brows tend to thin and dry out with facial cleansers and makeup removers. Avoid overwashing and be gentle with them. Use micellar water around the brow area gently to clean and hydrate.
➡️massage your eyebrows gently. It stimulates blood circulation and follicle activity. Gently, use your fingertips to massage the area for 1-2 mins /per day.
➡️apply castor oil at night with a q tip. It improves hair thickness, strength and shine.
➡️about serums and peptides: look for ingredients like biotin, keratin, panthenol. Use consistently for around 2-3 months.

✂️✂️✂️How to perfectly shape your brows at home with tweezers ✂️✂️✂️ ++ tweezing
🩹clean the area around. *Personal tip, i recommend applying a little amount of face moisturizer around the brow area to soften the skin and make tweezing less painful*. Make sure you're using a good mirror and have good natural lighting.
🩹start tweezing the hair below the brow. Make sure you are grabbing hair one at time near the root. When tweezing the hair above the brow you have to be more careful to not get out of shape or overthin them. Brush your brow in an "up" direction and closely look which hair are the ones you should pluck.
🩹be careful with the inner brow and the tails.
🩹step back and watch your work every few plucks.
🩹after you're done, you can soothe with aloe vera, or just a simple gel. I recommend not to put heavy makeup around the area for 12 hours after.
🩹I recommend to pluck your brows at least 1x/week to keep them in shape.
✂️about trimming: If you have naturally thick and full eyebrows, trimming is essential. Trimming controls brow length, creates a polished, neat appearance, and ensures your brows don’t look bushy or messy even if full.
For trimming, first brush your eyebrows upward, using a spoolie. Trim the longest hairs that stick outside your natural line. Repeat by brushing the hairs downward and check the upper edge.
Only a trained hand should thread your brows! Make sure you go to a good brow tech if you pick threading.
Threading is the best technique when it comes to precision shaping. If you have sensitive skin, threading will be a good choice, since it contains no heat or chemicals. Threading is ideal for:
🩹removing fine hair that are easy to miss
Lastly, threading results last from 2 weeks - 1 month
Waxing is a good choice if you want to remove a large area of hair fast. It's best for people who want a defined, bold brow and it's ideal for:
🩹thick or fast- growing hair
🩹if you want to maintain your already- shaped thick brows
Again, waxing should be done by professionals. It's important to inform your esthetician on how sharp or soft you want your arch to give you your desired results. If you have eczema or use retinoids, acids I recommend you avoid waxing. Waxing results last from 3 to 6 weeks.
🩹Choosing the best shaping method🩹
Pick threading if; your goal is a clean shape and if you have sensitive skin + very thick brows
Pick trimming if; your goal is a subtle groomed look and again if you have sensitive skin + very thick brows
Pick waxing if; you want fast removal + definition and if you have thick brows (for very thick brows, I recommend a trim +thread/wax combo)
Pick tweezing if; you natural have a good defined shape or just to keep your brows in shape.

⋆brow pencils; First, brush the hairs upwards to reveal the true brows shape. Use the pointed end of the pencil to draw natural hair- like strokes to mimic natural hair. If you want a softer effect, use the flat/ wider side of the pencil. To lift the brow, apply highlighter under the arch of the brow. This will define the shape and created and more lifted look.
Microblading, powder brows, combo brows
⋆microblading; Using a manual hand tool with ultra-fine needles to create hair-like strokes by depositing pigment into the skin. It's ideal for people with normal to dry skin who want a natural soft effect on their brows. It lasts from 12 to 18 months, although needs touch-ups after 4-8 weeks.
⋆powder brows; pigments are deposited with a machine in tiny dots , creating the lighter at front- darker at tail effect. If you have oily, textured skin and want a filled-in look, powder brows are a good pick.
⋆combo brows; uses microblading in the front of the brow and machine/ or manual shading through the middle to the tail. It gives a natural defined look, can be done to all skin types and lasts up to 30 months (touch ups are recommended around 7 weeks after first session). Plus, combo brows are customizable, meaning you can go soft and subtle or more bold and defined depending on your likings.
⋆BEFORE YOU BOOK FOR TATTOOING;
Make sure you have picked a certified artist. Avoid going before your period and if u wax or use retinol or acids, stop at least 2 weeks before the appointment.
After getting your brows done, for the first week, they will appear too dark and swollen. Make sure to use the products your esthetician provided you and avoid makeup, water, sun and sweating in the brows. Do not pick or starch your brows! Around the second week, your brows may appear as if they are fading-- don't worry, it's normal. Your final results will have appeared around week 7.
