Shaping your eyebrows under the influence of fluorescents or dark lighting is just begging for a bald spot. Only ever tweeze your brows in natural light because, not only will you be able to see stray hairs you’ve never noticed before, but you’ll have a more accurate idea of how your eyebrows are actually looking as you’re shaping them,” says Baldesberger.

Using your comb or spoolie, brush your hairs upwards so that any long, unruly brow hairs are visible. The first thing to know: Eyebrows are very personal to your face. “The brow grows on the occipital bone around the eye, and the shape is specific to ethnicity and the bone structure,” Von Freudenberg says. Though there are general rules of thumb about this face shape paired with that eyebrow shape, the bottom line is your eyebrow should suit your face and appeal to your sensibilities. Finally, mark where your brow should end by following a diagonal line from the outside of your nose to the outer corner of your eye. This shows where your brow should end. Length is important because it gives your face proportion, and you don’t want your brows connecting to your hairline.Use a big enough mirror. Eyebrows bring balance and proportion to your face and eyes, so you must use a mirror where you can see both of them at once. Using tiny magnifying mirrors should be illegal because you can only see a field of tiny hair versus the actual shape and what it’s doing for your entire face. Waxing is another popular at-home option for hair removal, eyebrows or otherwise. But it comes with some caveats: “The downside is that eyebrow waxing is done in straight sections, so the brow can look very severe or sharp, which can create an almost feminine look to the brow for men,” Von Freudenberg says. “If you have sensitive or thin skin, it can cause redness and irritation to the skin.” First, use a brow pencil and find where your brow should start. To do this, begin by following a straight line up from the dimple of your nose to the front of the brow and mark that spot. This is your starting point and will help slim the bridge of your nose and balance your eyes. Whether you’re attempting to shape on your own or going to a pro, brows should always be custom-built for your individual face,” Bailey says.

This section will tell you how to prepare your eyebrow for grooming and detail how you can get your eyebrows under control, including tracing your eyebrow, tweezing, trimming, waxing, and threading. 1. Trace Your EyebrowBrows bring balance and proportion to the face and eyes,” said Bailey. “Brow shaping is the easiest thing anyone can do to ensure that their face looks polished, groomed and symmetrical.” In addition to Leisa’s step-by-step guide, CEO of Rubis Tweezers, Fides Baldesberger also gave us his top tips. Often you want to cut the hairs shorter, rather than remove them completely. This can often calm a lot of the bushiness without having to tweeze at all. Always use natural lighting. Not everyone’s bathroom is built like a terrarium, so if possible, take a mirror you can prop up and tweeze near a window with even lighting on your face. With this in mind, makeup artist and brand founder Jenny Patinkin tells Insider that "finding the right brow pencil depends on what you're trying to accomplish." For example, folks looking for full, fluffy brows should consider a chubbier pencil. However, if you just want to fill in gaps or sparse hairs, Patinkin recommends using a pencil with a very fine tip to draw hair-like strokes. On the other hand, angled-tip pencils are great for creating "nice definition" around the edges of your brows.
