To find your perfect eyebrow shape it’s ideal to have an expert attend to them first. An eyebrow specialist will determine the shape to suit your individual features, including bone structure and density of the hair. Once you have them shaped professionally it’s easier to maintain them at home.
THE PERFECT SHAPE: The most elegant and natural looking eyebrow shape is elongated, clean and simple. The beginning of the eyebrows should have the least amount of curve. The arch of your brows should gradually rise from the inner corners of the eyes, finding its peak outside the iris and then sloping gently toward the end of the brow to extend slightly beyond the eye. Individual features can then determine thickness.
TRENDS: The latest trend is straight-across brows, a trend that has been huge in Korea for quite awhile. Why exactly this has become a trend is hard to say, but we think it has to do with the fact that soft, arch-less brows mimic the way your brows look when you’re younger, therefore making you appear more “youthful”.

LIGHTENING: Depending on your skin tone and the colour of your hair, eyebrows that are a shade or two lighter are often more flattering. An eyebrow expert uses professional hair tints rather than bleach for this process to ensure brows don’t turn orange. They would also ensure that your eyelashes are darker than your brows to balance the eyes and make sure you don’t look washed out.
TINTING: If you have very fair eyebrows an expert can tint your brows using semi-permanent vegetable dye. This adds definition, shape and looks very natural.

When done correctly, filling in the brows will give definition and fullness, without looking unnatural.
Here’s how…
1. If you’ve applied makeup, comb through the brows to ensure there’s no foundation through the hairs. Use an upward and outward motion to keep the hairs in place while shading them in.
2. Choose an eyebrow pencil one shade lighter than your brows. If your eyebrows are very fair, choose a slightly darker shade to accentuate the natural shape of the brow. Light hair can use blonde and taupe shades; brown to dark brown hair can use tawny or brown shades; and black hair and dark complexions can use grey shades.
3. Start at the beginning of your brow, and apply your pencil in the direction of the hair with light, feathery strokes. Continue throughout the entire brow, making sure to fill any gaps, shape the arch and taper the end to a soft point.
4. Brush the brows lightly to blend the colour and keep hairs in place.
