Shaping eyebrow help please.?

Okay I just got done shaping my right eyebrow in a new stlye that looks better on my oval shaped face, now I need to complete the task on my left eyebrow but I need some tips on how to since I usually mess up on that side or it looks smaller to me, I don't have the option of someone else doing it for me I need a way to get it done tonight.Shaping eyebrow help please.?
Trace the outline of the brow shape you want first.Shaping eyebrow help please.?
try drawing it on the way you like then pluck out the hairs youdidn't draw on.
Use a bright colour eye brow pencil to shape out the style you want. Then carefully remove the hairs that are not coloured.





That works very well for me.
I know you have started now, but in future I would always recommend getting your eyebrows professionally waxed. It only costs a few dollars and it lasts for a few weeks - or you can pluck the new hairs as they return to keep the same shape. The professional job will be even, incredibly neat and smooth and will suit your face shape.
The rules generally for plucking eyebrows goes as follows:





1. Don't pluck them within an inch of their life so that they look like they belong to someone who's had too many facelifts!! lol





2. To determine the correct length of the eyebrow, ie how far it should extend outwards, take a pencil and hold it at approx 45 degrees across your face so that it rests against the outer crease of your nostril, lines up with the outer edge of your eye and the point at which it intersects with your eyebrow is where the brow should end. If the eyebrow is short, extend it with an eyebrow pencil. Use an eyebrow pencil to mark the points on each brow.





3. Again with the pencil, now rest it against your nose so that it extends past the inner corner of the eye. Where it intersects with your brow is where it should end. The brow length is now in proportion with your face and nose. Remember this is all about creating illusions!! ;-)





4. The apex of the arch is line with the outer edge of the pupil, when you're looking directly ahead. This can be a tricky one when doing yourself, so if you can get someone to mark those points for you, otherwise mark the points on each side and see if they look even.





5 When plucking do it one hair at a time and then check with the other brow. Don't rush it. Also, don't forget to trim the overall length of the eyebrow hairs themselves if they are particularly long. You can do this by combing them straight up towards your hair line and revealing any rogue long ones!! This is necessary in men and sometimes women. Prevents those embarrassing ones that will insist on 'popping up' to see what's going on and of course the dreaded 'caterpillar brow' Oh yes, and remove any grey ones. They give away secrets.





If you do mess it up or overdo it, lightly fill in the gaps with eyebrow pencil. Always go for a lighter colour rather than darker if you want a more natural look.





Don't be afraid to pluck above the brow, eventhough some people think it's some kind of sin!!! Again, pluck one brow at a time and just don't overdo it.





Like anything it's always best to measure twice and pluck once.





Good luck, I hope this will help. Have fun tonight with your matching brows
Go to a professional next time.
Spray a little hair spray on your brows and brush them using your toothbrush to keep them in place.


If you don't have time for tweezing, you can get the desired contour quickly by brushing them upwards and then snipping the longest hairs beyond the natural arch using a pair of tiny scissors.


Eyebrows slanting upwards make you look angry, so be careful not to take off too much at the outer corners.


Before tweezing your brows, you must prepare your skin by wiping the brow area with a cotton ball soaked in astringent. The cooling effect numbs the skin for sometime and thus, you do not feel much pain.


Hold the tweezers at 45 degrees and pluck the stray hairs below the brow line in the direction of the hair growth.


If your brows are sparse, use a freshly sharpened brow pencil to fill in the areas with light, quick strokes.


To get a natural and more defined look, you can brush your brows with a brow brush dipped in brow powder in upward and outward strokes.


It is important to use the correct shade for your brows. Fair women can use blonde shades while olive colored women should choose tawny or brown. Dark African-American women can use gray shadeshttp://www.facenbodycare.com/Makeup_Tips鈥?/a>
