A lot of us women, who deal with make-up every day, do not pay much attention to the eye-brows. But, if you didn't know already there is a lot that you can do with ‘em brows and make them look like perfect arches that add a natural glow to the face.

Getting a pro touch would cost you a fortune, but you can beautify them easily with these best ways to groom your eyebrows.

To begin with, brush each brow upwards and then use a brow scissors to snip the ends of long hair. Now, brush downwards and trim any number of long hair you find. Trimming the hair before you start tweezing will reveal the real shape of the brow, remove the extra bulk and weight so that you can create, all by yourself, the shape that you want.

Know how to shape the eyebrows by holding a pencil just parallel to the side of the nose's bridge. The inner edge of the eyebrows must start from here. To tell where the highest point of the arch is, place the pencil parallel to the outer corners of the iris. Now, angle the pencil diagonally from the nostril to the outer corner of the eye to tell where the brow should ideally end.

RULES TO GET PERFECT EYEBROWS

Ways To Groom Your Eyebrows

To get things right before you forget, mark the areas of the brow just how you mapped it and begin tweezing or waxing as per your preference. To make sure that your eyes look naturally beautiful, do not remove more than two rows of hair. You may have to pull out a few hair form the outer edges of the top eyebrow to give a sliding effect. If you are a proud owner of thick brows, you could remove an additional row to create a well-pronounced arch.

Important tips

When women do the tweezing by themselves, they end up removing too many rows of hair, giving themselves anorexic eyebrows. If the same has happened with you, fatten them up by colouring up sparse areas with a brow pencil.
If you aren't sure what arch-shaping method you should use, prefer tweezing. Tweezing will work even better if you do not have a lot of hair that needs to be removed. Waxing is for those who have naturally bushy or dark eye brows that tend to grow back faster. You could also use waxing to clean up extra hair.
