Step-By-Step To the Perfect Eye Brow

Lauren Conrad from the realty television show, ‘The Hills,” has done so much since the show ended. Lauren and a couple of her girlfriends have recently started a beauty blog called ‘The Beauty Department.‘ Lauren has put together a step-by-step tutorial of how to shape your eye brows. I have always had trouble with this, and previously just had my girlfriend Emily shape them. But now she lives in another state, so I have to fend for myself.

I love that Lauren took pics of each step. It is very helpful.

Tools:

Spoolie brush or disposable mascara wand
Cuticle scissors
Angled/slant tweezers
Pointed tweezers
Brow shadow (taupe for blondes, brown range for everyone else)
Stiff brow shadow brush, pencil (to line up the angles)

1. With a disposable mascara wand or spoolie brush, brush the hairs upward.

2. With a pair of scissors, trim any hairs that are longer than your brow shape.

3. With angled tweezers, pluck areas above and below the brows.

4. With pointed tweezers, grab stubborn single hairs and shorter ones.

5. To determine where your brow should start, hold a pencil or make-up brush along one side of your nose. Where it crosses the inner corner of your brow, that’s where it should begin.

6. Now angle the pencil across the iris; that’s where the arch should begin.

7. Angle it to the end of the outer corner of the eye; that’s where the brow should end.

8. With those angles and lengths in mind, fill in the brows using light, feathery strokes as if you were drawing individual hairs.
