Brow Tip #6 Find a new brow shape.
6. Use a white pencil to see if a new brow shape works.
Tempted to try a new brow shape? A higher arch? Take a white eyeliner pencil and draw away the brow hairs that you think you would tweeze. This makes your new brow shape much easier to see and adjust before you tweeze.
TIP: Tweeze the hairs where the ‘root’ is where the white pencil is. You’ll find it much easier to create a line and create a new shape.
Brow Tip #5 Tweezing above the brow. Yes or no?
5. Yes you can tweeze above the brow.
My rule of thumb: If the hair is not touching the brow in any way, there’s no way you can mess up the brow shape. Simple as that. You’re actually tweezing hairs from the forehead and temple, not the brow. But once you actually next to the brow, that’s another story. Taking too much off the top of the brow can result in holes and uneven brows, making 1 brow seem higher than the other. So leave the actual shaping to your brow specialist. But cleaning up between visits for the strays is fine, as long as the hair is not touching the brow.
Eyebrow No-No #2
In doing eyebrows, I see these 5 common eyebrow no-no’s almost every day.
LIke:
2. Arch in the wrong place
What do all of these images have in common? The arch is in the wrong place.
Or, in most cases, the arch is too far out. This happens when the arch
is created by a pencil lining up to the side of the nose, up to the
outside iris of the eye. Nope. That’s not the right placement. What
happens is that the eyes actually end up looking crossed eyed
(especially in photos), and does not make the eyes look wide set, like you think they would.
Fix: Tweeze a few more hairs so the arch moves in closer to the middle of the eye
Before You Book: Thin eyebrows.

Elke’s Tips on what you need to know before you book.
Here are some things to consider before booking an eyebrow appointment.
Have a thin ‘2 rows of hairs’ eyebrows? Don’t worry. I’ve been able to reshape and get even the thinnest eyebrows back on track. And there’s no need to go around with half done eyebrows waiting for them to grow in before you can get them looking perfect again. The key is to get the line of the eyebrow back on track which gives you a starting point as to where to grow in. Once you have that line, you can then keep an eye on them and keep those hairs growing in where you need them. Elke |
