Models know that eyebrow looks come and go. And when your livelihood depends on being able to represent the latest trend, you can’t take the extreme and go too far.
1. DON’T WAX TOO MUCH:
The secret to model eyebrows, is to never completely wax your eyebrow. If you wax only, you lose the ability to grow in your eyebrows at a later date should you want to change your look. Hint: the super full thick eyebrow trend happening now.
The best technique is to just wax the stray hairs that are not needed and tweeze to define the shape of the eyebrow only.
2. WHERE TO WAX?
When waxing brows, only wax
between the brows
above the brow (avoid getting too close to the actual top arch of the eyebrow here, I’ve seen many eyebrows go ‘straight’ by waxing too much above).
wax more along the forehead. This also creates a ‘cleaner’ eyebrow as well.
Then tweeze the hairs along the brow to clean up and neaten.. though if you’re wanting a more natural feel, keep 1 to 2 rows of hairs going below the entire brow.
3. DON’T BE AFRAID TO TALK TO YOUR EYEBROW SPECIALIST
Don’t be afraid to tell your eyebrow specialist not to wax.
Shaping eyebrows should in be the look you feel comfortable with, so if they only offer waxing, you may want to look elsewhere. You should be able to tell your specialist exactly how you want your eyebrows shaped and how.
Want eyebrow tweezing only? Let them know.
4. THE BEST TIP
Have a favorite eyebrow look? Bring in a photo or show a shot from from your cell phone. As they say, a photo says a thousand words. And usually from a photo, a brow pro can not only tell what you like, but also what you don’t like.
Share exactly what you like about your favorite brow look. Is it the color? The thickness? The shape? The arch? Get as specific as possible to get the best brow for you.
