Eyebrows

When somebody says "eyebrows" Anne Hathaway immediately comes to mind. She has perfect eyebrows. I know what you're thinking, that this is the weirdest post ever, and i agree. But trust me, it has deemed itself necessary. I have seen a lot of girls trying to rock the pencil thin trannie look. Not cute.

Here is a diagram (yes a diagram) and a few tips on how to avoid the ugly thin eyebrow look all together.

My first tip would be to get the professionally done. Whether it is wax, threading, or any other method is up to you. This way you avoid mistakes, and usually they will never go too thin.




But if you can't afford to have your eyebrows done, and/or have the confidence in yourself to clean them up with tweezers follow this diagram pictured above. Take an eyeliner pencil and hold it beside your nose. You should only pluck the hair on the opposite side of the eyebrow to that pencil.
If you hold the pencil up and your eyebrow falls short (or you can see skin between the eyebrow and the pencil) your brow needs to grow in.
To find your natural arch, you can use your cheek bone as a guide (as pictured above). For women with a fuller face, you can use your pupils.

The pencil will indicate where your eyebrows arch, this is where it is okay to shape and clean out the hair.


My sister's eyes are small and her eyebrows do not have an exaggerated arch (pictured to the left). Please, remember that everybody's body is unique, even eyebrows. Some ladies will have higher arches than others. Do not get carried away with the plucking. Thin eyebrows are never ever a Do.




Thanks ladies, and sorry for the weird eyebrow rant post.
