How to tweeze eyebrows like a pro.





Please excuse my dodgy diagrams hahaha  I never was amazing at art.
I hope they give a good enough reflection to guide you on your quest for perfect brows a la Megan Fox . Good brows are mostly down to genetics but there are ways to improve there appearance if you were not blessed with amazing brows, or if you have over tweezed them.
Hmmm while we are on the subject of over tweezed brows remember when doing your own eyebrows not to take too much away. Start slowly and remember you can take more away but you can't put more hairs back if you tweeze too many.
Follow your natural shape if you naturally have eyebrows that are thin with a low arch then face the facts that you can't turn them into brows like Angelina.

So you have tweezed your brows to the best shape possible but your still unhappy :( .....Don't worry there are still plenty of things you can do to help.
If your brows don't match your hair colour or you would like them to appear darker, you could dye them. This can be done professionaly in the beauty salon, or you can do the procedure at home with a kit.
The most effective way of improving your brows and the way they look is ultimately through make-up.
If you have been blessed with great brows but they tend to have a mind of there own and move about,  then a clear brow gel is the product for you. Just sweep it on with the comb provided and they will stay in place for hours. My fave brow gel is Bobbi Brown Natural Brow.
I don't use it myself but have used it lot's when doing models make-up.
Next up is Highlighting eyeshadow, I could not live without this, by sweeping something such as Bourjois little round pot Eye light - 01 Blanc Dore under your brows along the brow bone. This accentuates your eyes and highlights the brows, working together to frame your face. I don't swear by a certain highlighter to use here. The bourjois range are great but as long as you choose something pale and shimmery then it should work well. Now i have saved the most obvious and essential product for last.......... The humble eyebrow pencil /or eyebrow powder. Good or bad most brows benefit from some simple filling in. Some brows are patchy(mine are for sure). Match the colour that best suits your brows, there are lots too choose from. If you are naturally blonde and have dyed brunette hair then you can use a brown colour to match your brows.
Take small steady strokes following your brow start to end. If using powder then you will need a special angled brow brush (alot come with this), mine is a Ruby and Millie angled brush.

Hopefully this guide has been useful to you. It is just my take on brows. It may not be your cup of tea but it is what ive learned along the way.  I would love to hear what works for you or any tips you have to share.
