The Eyebrow Thread, all you need to know and ask about your arches

i pluck mine myself.

lol

it looks good but not the best. You'll probably look at it next week or so and find something wrong about it and pluck again.

I think you should grow the base as a start. It would elongate your brow and raise it too.

You should also let the top grow again. you dont want it to look that clean.

Then grow the bottom. I see that you try to shape it with the shape of your eye. Your brow doesnt really grow that naturally so it would look really weird now and then.

You should let your brow grow and work with what the shape you have instead of overhauling it into a brow you wish you had. Yours will flatter your face enough or even better.

Also, if you go with that, you won't have to fill in your brow and make hair go here and there. You would use brow gel and fill it in to enhance your good instead of using those thing to tame your brows.

P.s. im really sorry im so fussy about this. i really get picky.

^^ They look great! They look like mine

Mine are naturally pretty thin so all I have to do is pluck the middle and the strays at the bottom.

I use stencils (guilty pleasure). I fill them in with powder, and then I wax the unwanted hairs off. I like the flat shape better, it's more intriguing.

i just prefer natural brows. Jusr enough hair to play up or play down with.

 

[colourmefashion]

i dont pluck the top of my brow.
i was told not to, so i dont. lol
i had them waxed like 2 weeks before that picture and that was kinda the shape they were waxed into, so i just got rid of the strays.

that picture is kinda old too. but if i find a more recent one, i will let you know

 

[colourmefashion]

okay. its not that much of a defference but this was a couple of months ago, and i kept it the same since.

 

[emailme.]

it looks much better now. I like that your base is growing back. just let it. The bottom also has an awkward raise and you can just let hair grow there too - if you want.

I dont know if they cleaned or changed your arch. so if they did, you might wanna grow some stray hairs there too so it doesnt look so exact.

Eye Brow Shape?

Well i have an oval face and my nose is sort of long and prominent ,almost like model eugenia volodina's but i dont know how to shape my eyebrows for my particular face???Should they bit mor closer togethor or further apart???And what are some examples of perfectly shaped eyebrows?

 

[emailme.]

well oval face is the most desirable shape of face.You can practically have any shape you want but stay with your natural shape.

Eugenia has perfectly shaped brow, well i consider them perfect. Sasha pivovarova also has good ones and so does Natalia Vodianova.

Snejana Onopka also in my opinion has perfect brows but she has alot of spare brows around and i like it that way.

When you say closer or more together, it depends. Most people have it start parallel to where their eye starts. I prefer that it begins parallel where your nose is.

To tweeze your brow naturally, use brow gel and brush your brow upwards. Your bottom must have hair growing the whole way and not only up to your arch.

Most people take it out from there to raise their arch and it looks unnatural to me.

People also take it out even closer in act of desperation to make it look suitable to what is left of their brow and that makes it look even more unnatural.

Does eyebrows really make a difference??

 

[emailme.]

yes very much so. it frames your face and it can enhance your eyes.

aspiring models can get denied unless they grow out their eyebrows and cancer patient look very different when they go through kemo and lose their eyebrows.

 

[russh_kris_z]

So thick eyebrows are better?? Most models seem to have thick eyebrows

 

[emailme.]

its not thick. its full eyebrows. Thick is dark coarse and unflattering. For example Dior models. Full is more of a complete natural looking brow. For example, Sasha Pivovarova, Natalia Vodianova, Eugenia, and Snejana.

Full eyebrows, in my opinion, is better. Its keeping what you're given and not changing it into something that your not suppose to have.

I always think its like plastic surgery. You keep getting them to become "beautiful". You pluck and pluck to achieve a shape but it'll never look quite right and you keep plucking until it does so and you end up looking bad.

Full eyebrows are also younger looking. Harsh very distinct arches make you look "fierce" all the time. Tadpole brows are, well, just bad.

Full eyebrows are more versatile than those because you have more hair to play with. With a brow filler you can turn it into a totally new brow which still suits you. This is another reason models have full eyebrows these days.

Full eyebrows are also less maintenance. Since it is staying with your natural shape your brow will grow the right way on the right spot. Unike full brows, your brows will need constant tending to it and have it on your mind all the time if your eyebrow has stayed in place. You also dont hvae to pluck it thinking it would look better cuz its already fine. For skinny eyebrows, it never does look quite right and the result is just what it is, skinny.

 

[i_<3_chanel]

i absolutely agree that fuller eyebrows are more versatile =]

 

[russh_kris_z]

Omg thanks guys!!!!! So how do we maintain Full eyebrows please? Mine look bad compared to snejanasetc More details thanks so much emailme

 

[emailme.]

maintain full eyebrows? Well there's virtually no maintenance. If you mean How to create your full brows? I have the answer.

You have to get brow gel. Clear mascara is fine but brow gel is preferrable. You need to have virgin brows or a really grown out brows. Now, you have to use the brow gel and brush your brows up.

Now, to determine which to tweeze under the brow, there must be hair growing upwards from the beginning to the end of the brow. Remember, full brows are not get high as you can kind of brow so its fine to not have such high brows. You might also want to keep some few stray hairs growing upwards especially near the end of the arch. It keeps a more natural look and the brow will not look so exact and softer.

One of the common question for plucking eyebrows is, 'Where does it start?' Well, you just use the pencil trick. Take a pencil, and then put it on the middle of your nose. Now to do your right brow. Move the pencil to the beginning of your nostril - this is a slight move. Most people shouldnt really touch the beginning of the brow. You just dont want a unibrow. It is totally fine to have hairs grow in different ways its just because of the brow bone.

Where the brow should is probably the easiest one to determine. Take your pencil again and you will use your nose as reference again. Rest it to the side of your right nosetril and then angle it towards the end of your eyes and pass through your brow. This is where your right brow should stop.

A good reason for this rule is mainly for your profile. Take two mirrors to see your side profile. If your brow is too long it can make your face droop. By using the pencil technique you cleared the hair out and create more space which lifts your cheeks up in your side profile

Now, the last part, the top of your eyebrows. As you may have heard, do not pluck the top of your brows, and this is true. You can really mess up your brows if you do this. It is also the longest part to grow back. The only thing you need to do on the top part is figure out your arch. Again, the pencil technique! Take your dandy pencil and put in on the side your nostrils again. This time angle it to the blackmiddle of your eye(iris?) and pass your brow. That is where the highest part of your brow should be. Remember the highest and this does not mean every part should be more amazingly lower than that part. It actually means That there should be no part of your brow higher than that part.

That is how to properly pluck your eyebrows. It may seem like a lot of work but i want people to do it properly and not be so confused. If your not sure what to do DONT DO IT. Its better to have that one ugly hair than wait for 3 months for growing a plucking mishap.

To maintain your brow, all you have to do is brush your brow up - you dont need to use a brow gel and trim it except the beginning of your brow. The trimming should mostly be for the middle part as hair that are growing down grow longer they can push your brow down and make the bottom look like a mishap on the bottom arch.

This is also another use for brow gel. It makes your bottom arch more apparent and brow gel is an eyelift and facelift. This just proves that eyebrows really do make a difference.

 

[russh_kris_z]

Omg thanks.!!!!! I have to give you karma. I never really gived much for brow gels but now I'm going out and buying some.. I never maintained by eyebrows before , sometimes I plucked it but nevertheless never really cared about it.. I even plucked the top part >.<"" I'm deffinitely going to grow my eyebrows out and maintain fuller eyebrows.. if brow gel really is an eyelift and face lift then mmm I'm buying it.

 

[emailme.]

oh your welcome. it looks natural too. Its good you dont care so much for it because it looks more natural. Just dont obsess over it. Think of it as chores. you have to do it to make your house clean. This way you dont obsess over it. Itll cause you to be pluck-obsessed.

 

[russh_kris_z]

Hahaha good way to put it! If I loved to pluck it so much.. I'd probably have rail thin eyebrows..
