The Perfect Brow Techniques That Reshape Your Face
Step 1:
I begin by observing the face as a whole starting from the nose, eyes, forehead, and cheekbones. From there, position the brow to sit in a way that heightens those features.
Step 2:
Determine the exact thickness and arch placement to design and shape the eyebrow to complement each individual’s natural facial features and eyebrow quality.
Step 3:
Sometimes when new clients come in, I approach the brow and start where I see the error (ex: a disconnect in thickness, arch misplacement, or the front of the brow is wider than the tail leaving the brow to be lacking in balance). If that’s the case, I often look at the top of the front area of the brow or top of the tail to access if I can re-adjust the angles or reposition the brow on the face. Playing with how it will appear from a side profile or how it appears around the center area of the forehead.
Step 4:
I never advise clients to touch the top of the brow themselves, but if it’s done professionally, it’s the key to shape. It’s also key to squaring off the brow. I look at the texture and will curve or straighten the brow where I see the texture has prohibited the shape. The texture is key but it needs fine-tuning to bring out every brows full impact. I create more texture in the ball of the brow by trimming if needed.
Step 5:
To finish, I stop when I feel the thickness is not in jeopardy. Instead, it’s more apparent. Then I tint the brow to catch fine hairs around the perimeter to bulk up the brow to appear thicker and even out the tone. These days I leave more hair around the perimeter of the brow to create a virgin effect. I find it more modern to have a soft brow by doing less sculpting and more building. I stop when the arch or lift is perfectly in line with its width.
