Last year it was all about the Cara Brow, and this year, the spotlight has shifted to the Under Brow. Yes, even eyebrows have their trends! Whether you’re a trendsetter or just looking to keep those unruly strays in check, we’ve curated the best brow tips just for you.
At home, tweezing remains the gold standard for achieving precise brow shapes and is an excellent way to maintain your look between professional visits. However, it’s crucial to avoid going overboard; aim to limit your DIY sessions to once every two to three weeks. Beware of using a magnifying mirror, as it can distort your perspective, leading to over-plucking. Instead, outline your desired brow shape using a brow or highlighter pencil and pluck only the hairs that extend beyond that outline.
Just a slight trim on the sides, please! To steer clear of the unibrow effect, many individuals tend to excessively pluck the space between their brows. A wider gap can make your eyes appear too far apart and your nose seem larger. The tip for most? The start of your brow should align with the bridge of your nose, not the outer edge of your nostril. To figure out where your brow should end, visualize a diagonal line running from the corner of your nose to the outer corner of your eye; a pencil can serve as a handy guide.
How do you achieve the perfect arch? A harsh arch can leave you looking perpetually astonished. Discover your natural arch by identifying the highest point of your brow, which is typically located about two-thirds of the way from the inner brow (and remember, it doesn’t need to be perfectly centered). Tweeze below the brow line to enhance the lift. As always, moderation is key—avoid over-plucking.
Thick and polished beats thick and messy any day, so don’t overlook the top of your brow. Stray hairs are more conspicuous up there. If you’re aiming for fullness but find your brows a bit sparse, don’t lose heart and resist the temptation to overapply eyebrow pencil. Remember, brows take about three months to grow back in fully. During this waiting period, opt for a brow pencil that isn’t too waxy, lightly tracing the outline before blending. You might also want to explore eyebrow growth serums to speed things along. The best advice for your brows? Schedule a professional appointment, even if it’s just once or twice a year. At Privy Skin Care, we’ll help you discover your brow’s natural shape and provide invaluable guidance for your at-home routine.
