Following my last Step by Step makeup look I received a request on how to style eyebrows. Now, I love eyebrows and luckily for me, and you, NARS have recently launched a new eyebrow collection featuring 4 shades of Brow Gel and 4 new shades of eyebrow perfecting pencil. You can find these HERE.
Brows are not as daunting as they may seem and there are three easy steps that you can follow in order to create the prefect brow shape to suit your face...
Step One- Start
This marks where the brows should start, marking from the edge of the nose straight upwards.

Step Two- Arch
This marks the highest part of the brow; where the brow should arch. Starting from the edge of the nose running diagonally up through the centre of the pupil.

Step Three- End
Here marks where the brow should end; starting from the corner of the nose following the edge of the eye diagonally upwards.
Final Shape
Join these dots, fill in the brow and voila...
There are also a few general "brow rules" you may want to take into consideration when shaping the brows to ensure that your eyes are framed correctly in co-ordination with your face shape.
Oval face: All brow shapes.
Round Face: An arched brow which helps to elongate the face.
Long Face: Straight brow in order to cut length.
Square Face: A Larger brow, with soft edges in order to help even out the angles of the face.
Heart Shape Face: A rounded arch in order to balance the face.
Happy brow mapping!
Brilliant - a mystery solved!

This has absolutely nothing to do with me (brow-shaping, I mean), but what a fascinating post!
ReplyDeleteIt probably makes brows seem a lot more technical than you ever thought they could be!? ahahah!

Great post! And your brows look great, very neat looking! xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you, like I said I'm a little obsessed with brows!
DeletePhaze x
Love it! Thanks for the step by step. Been searching for this for a while now.
ReplyDeleteNo problem, hope this technique works out well for you!

You eyes are stunning! I am a little obsessed with brows too :) Can you recommend any products for filling in brow because I use an eye shadow at the moment which is the perfect colour but it is slowly running out. Thanks
