Next, tilt the pencil on your nose toward the eye that is on that side while keeping the base of your pencil on the nostril. Once your pencil crosses over your pupil, stop and look where the pencil reaches. The arch of your eyebrow should be where the pencil stopped over your pupil. Lastly, keeping the bottom of the pencil on your nostril, continue to tilt your pencil to touch the outside corner of the eye on that side. Where your pencil lands should be end of your eyebrow. Like the beginning of your eyebrow, you can always fill in the ends if they do not reach the pencil. If they go past the pencil, pluck the ends to wear they feel comfortable.
Do not thin out the head of the brows. It should be the thickest part. Also, do not remove hair from the top of the brow unless you have any especially insane hairs. Use the natural shape of the top of the brow to shape your arch.
While this is possible at home, it is advised to go to a professional for this to avoid accidentally cutting hair too short and creating a “hole” in your eyebrow.
Use only the top end of the bristles to fine-tune the arch and the corner of your eyebrow. You don’t have to do it all again for the second brow, simply comb it as well. If your eyebrows are really wild, put a very tiny amount of hairspray on it as well.
Be sure to make sure that those really long hairs on the edge aren’t based in the middle. If they are, you can snip them, but be careful that you keep things even. Get a close-up magnification mirror to help with this process. This really helps locate some of those little annoying hairs.
Take it easy on the waxing. It’s easy to over-do it, and leave yourself looking witchy.
