A friend of mine forwarded me a comical email that showed pictures of women with eyebrows gone bad. Really, really bad. After I stopped laughing, I realized that a lot of women just don’t realize how important our eyebrows are. They are the “frame” around our face, so like any work of art; you need a subtle way to draw attention to the beautiful picture without distracting from it. The wrong “frame” can alter how you perceive the picture entirely so it’s important to find the right balance.
When attempting to shape your brows for the first time, leave it up to a professional because your features and face shape are a factor in what will look best for you. They can clean up, create an arch, trim and groom them to the point where you will be able to maintain them yourself…or go back once a month for a touch up. The most common mistakes women make when doing their own eyebrow grooming is over-tweezing by making them too thin or plucking too much between the brows so they don’t begin where they should (parallel to the inner-corner of the eyes). So, whether you tweeze, wax or thread them, be cautious of not over doing it.
If you do need to fix a mistake, there are brow powders and pencils you can use in the meantime to fill them in until they grow back, so put down your tweezers. Trends come and go with eyebrow shapes, so I suggest never following the trend and just do what looks best on you. Also avoid tweezing with a magnified mirror; it always makes you over pluck! Good luck and happy grooming.
