Eyebrow Shaping

March 6, 2009




eyebrow1The eyebrow is an area of thick, delicate hairs above the eye that follows the shape of the lower margin of the brow ridges. Eyebrow shaping is an art to achieve beautiful eyebrows. Men’s eyebrow should be heavier and slightly thick and clean at the centre as compared to women’s eyebrows.

Different Shapes of Eyebrows:

Angular:

Angular eyebrows add elegance to a round, chubby face, making it more interesting.

Sweeping:

This is the most common shape as it suits all faces.

Round

Round eyebrows suit faces with a large forehead and big eyes.

Eyebrow Shaping Tips:

To determine the most suitable shape of the eyebrows, the characteristics of the face should be studied first.

The wide-set eyes will look impressive by making them look closer. This can be done by shaping the eyebrow lines from the inner corner of the eyes.

The closer-set eyes can be made to appear apart by increasing the length at the ends and widening the distance at the centre of the eyebrows.

Steps of Eyebrow Shape

Hair should be properly tied to prevent it from falling on the forehead at the time of eyebrow shaping.

A towel should be well placed below the chin to protect the clothes.

Cleansing milk or any make-up removing lotion should be applied on the forehead and the area near eyebrows to  clean it.

To remove the greasiness talcum powder should be used.

Hair growth pattern must be checked.

Methods of Eyebrow Shaping:

Eyebrow plucking, threading and waxing are the three different methods of eyebrow shaping.

Eyebrow plucking: In this method each hair is grasped individually between the tweezers blades and pulled quickly and surely in the direction of the hair growth. The area must be stretched tight with first finger and thumb of the left hand to avoid pinching the skin.

Eyebrow threading: It is a Chinese technique in which the eyelid is stretched to make the removal of hair easy. Eyebrow threading involves using a piece of thread, usually cotton, into a double strand.

Eyebrow waxing: In this method the wax is warmed up to the optimum temperature and is applied in the same direction that the hair grows in. As soon as the wax is applied it is removed in the direction against the hair growth.
