Filling
In Your Eyebrows :
Brush brows downward with a dry, mascara-like wand.
To define the arch, use the pencil to draw a line
along the upper edge of the brow. Comb the brows
upward and outward.
If brows have been severely over-tweezed, brush
the hairs in the direction of the growth, and fill
in any visible patches with powder. Avoid adding
to the top or bottom of the brows. |

Control
Your Brows :
Brush brows straight up and then check for hairs
that are too long.
Snip any offending hair one at a time with a small
pair of scissors.
Brush brows downward and check again.
Repeat the previous step, snipping any hair that
seems to be too long.
Brush brows into place and check for any hairs that
still might need attention.
Continue brushing and snipping until your brows
can be brushed into place naturally. |

Perfect
Eyebrows :
Brush brows upward. Carefully trim any excess hair
above the top of your natural arch. Be careful not
to take off too much at the ends or you'll have
brow "bald" spots.
Fill in sparse areas with a freshly sharpened brow
pencil; use light, quick strokes to draw in hair.
Brow powder will give thin brows overall definition,
and is great for a more natural look. Using the
brow brush, sweep powder up and outward over brows.
If you're a brow novice, a tinted brow gel is a
foolproof way to keep brows in place. Lightly coat
brows using upward and outward strokes. Wipe off
any excess and allow it to set. |

Another
Way To Tame Brows :
Here is yet another way to tame unruly brows and
it might be the easiest yet. Go to your local drugstore
and look for a tube of clear mascara. It has NO
colour and that's what you want. Using the wand,
apply the clear mascara, "combing" the
brows into shape. Allow to dry and your brows stay
put quite nicely. |

Brow
Shapes For Very Small Eyes :
The last thing you need is heavy looking brows.
Slowly remove some of the excess from the bottom
of the brow. |
| |
Brow
Shapes For Wide Set Eyes :
Follow the same instructions as those given for
close set eyes but begin the brows just a little
closer to the nose. |

Dyeing
Your Eyebrows :
Don't attempt this at home. It a very dangerous
thing to attempt that could result in blinding yourself.
I'm including this tip because a reader asked for
my thoughts on trying it themselves. I suggest checking
out your cosmetic counter for the brow colour that
comes in tubes just like mascara. It will only take
you seconds to apply and there is not danger. |

Eyebrow
Tip :
Did you know that your eyebrow is supposed to start
directly above the inner corner of your eye? The
highest point should be just a little beyond the
outer corner of the iris and should taper off to
the end! So now you know! |

Soothe
Those Brow Tips Tips :
If your Brow Tips Tips are red and irritated from
plucking, soothe the area with the help of a few
cool, wet, tea bags. It will help immediately. |

Sparse
Eyebrows :
One you have over-plucked your brows, they simply
might not grow back. So what do you do about sparse
looking brows? Try this. Brush the brows down and
then with an angled brush, apply a little colour
along the top of each brow. Carefully brush brows
back into place and check to see if there are any
gaps. If so, touch them up with a little powder
and then set with a bit of gel on a brush or clear
mascara. |

Toothbrush
Those Brows :
If you are having trouble taming those brows, here
is another little trick. Take a toothbrush and spray
with a little hair spray and then brush on brows.
The stickiness of the hair spray will help keep
them in place. |
| |
Trimming
Brows :
This is another alternative to tweezing. Brush them
up and the really long hairs will be very visible.
Instead of tweezing and creating a hole, snip it
with a pair of tiny scissors. Works wonderfully. |

When
Not To Pluck :
Try not to pluck right before your period. If it's
going to hurt, this will be the time. |
