Cognitive psychologists now believe that the role of the eyebrows in face recognition is more important than that of the eyes.
Your eyebrows add prominence to your facial features. They draw attention to your eyes and can sometimes define your perceived character. Think for a second of any cartoon villain, skulking in the shadows with the overly arched menacing brows or looking particularly brutish with a unibrow. Bert may not have always been an angry grump but that’s the way I’ll always remember him.
However, the correct eyebrow shape can leave you looking more like Hollywood screen goddess than Henson workshop. Think Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Angelina Jolie, etc..
Even if you're not big on makeup, maintaining your brows is essential.
Getting the right eyebrow shape for you can often be a difficult task.
If you have a tendency to over pluck its time to put down the tweezers & seek professional help.
Growing out your eyebrows can be a difficult task so it’s easier to have a professional map out an eyebrow plan for you to stick to.
On the other hand a naturally thick bushy brow that's left in its natural state can make even the most feminine face look masculine.
Getting the right shape:To create a new brow shape, first determine where precisely your brow should begin, arch, and end.
• The inner edge of the brow should vertically align with the center of the nostril.
• The arch of the brow is naturally over the outer third of the eye, roughly even with the edge of the iris (coloured portion of the eye) when looking straight ahead.
• The outer edge of the brow should align with the corner of the eye and should not extend into the temple.
• The inner and outer edges should be horizontally even to avoid unintentional expressions.
• Symmetry is critical between both brows to prevent a skewed, disproportionate appearance.
Important Eyebrow Tips• For bushy eyebrows, first use small scissors to trim that unruly hair and then trim them.
• Regularly tweeze your eyebrows to keep them in shape. The best time to tweeze eyebrows is just after bath when pores are open. Tweeze hair in the direction of growth and also pluck one hair at a time.
• To avoid over plucking, shade in your desired eyebrow shape with an eyebrow pencil first & don’t pluck inside this area.
