1 A) Stand in front of the mirror. Look straight ahead. Try visualizing an imaginary straight line from the base of your nose to your eyebrow. (You can also use a pencil as your line, if it helps). First, imagine the line (or place your pencil) straight up from the outside base of your nose to the browline -ideally, that's where your eyebrow should begin (A).
B) Second, looking straight into the mirror, imagine the line (or place the pencil) slanting across the center section of the eye, to the right of the pupil. That's where the arch should be (B).
C) Third, imagine your line (or place your pencil) angling even further, straight past the outer corner of the eye. That's where the end of the ideal browline should reach (C).
2. Tweeze excess hairs, working from underneath the brow to even up and clean up the line. Does the line of the natural brow stops short of the outside corner (point C above)? No problem. Use a freshly sharpened eyebrow pencil to draw a thin, delicate line to extend the browline to the outside of the eye. Blur the color, lightly with a fingertip.
3. To lift the arch of the brow higher, tweeze hairs from just below where you want the arch to be highest. This also instantly "opens" the look of the eye.
4. The eyebrows should be at their fullest at the inside edges, right above the inside corners of the eyes (A). If your eyebrows are thin or sparse, fill in with short, slanted hair-like strokes with your brow pencil. Follow with a stiff brush dipped in complementary eyebrow powder color. Use the same motion to apply it, adding more weight to the pencil color. Let the line gradually thin out as it goes past the arch of each brow (B)
