Your eyebrows frame your face and well-groomed, perfect brows give you a polished look even when you're not wearing makeup. Good shaping techniques help give brows definition that enhance the whole eye area. Follow  these simple steps to shape your own brows in minutes and learn how brow pencils and powders can further accentuate your desired shape.

The Basic One-Two-Three of Brow Shaping
Here are crib notes for the perfect eyebrow:

1. The innermost point of your brow should be over the inside corner of your eye.
2. The arch of your brow (its highest point) should occur over the outside of the iris (the colored part) of your eye.
3. Your brow should end on a diagonal from the outside of your nose just past the outside of your eye.

Depending on the shape of your face, your natural brow line may vary somewhat. Use the brow bone as a guide to the best placement for your eyebrow. To begin, use a brow brush or toothbrush to brush the brows straight up. Snip any hairs that are too long or stick out in wild directions. Be sure to pluck just a hair or two at a time so you don’t wind up with any gaps.

When you’re done plucking and combing your brows into a shape you like, hold the look with some brow gel, brow wax or a little hair gel. Apply just enough to hold the hair in place.
