The eyebrow is an area of thick, delicate hairs above the eye that follows the shape of the lower margin of the brow ridges. Eyebrows come in many shapes and sizes. Some people have thick and bushy eyebrows, while others have thinner, more pointed eyebrows. Some people prefer to wear their brows full, while others either pluck or shave their brows, preferring to draw on a thin eyebrow.
The eyebrows’ main function is to prevent sweat, water and other debris from falling down into the eye socket, but they are also important to human communication and facial expression. Eyebrows have an important function in communication, strengthening expressions, such as surprise, anger or sexiness. Many makeup artists view eyebrows as a major feature in defining the face. Eyebrows not only shape the face but give definition to one’s eyes and forehead. As with all human features, people modify their eyebrows by means of hair addition, hair removal and makeup.
For bangin’ brows, shape, contour and thread your brows to sheer perfection. Whatever works for you!
How to Shape Your Eyebrows:
1. Imagine a straight line from the outside of your nose to the inside corner of your eye. This is where your brow should begin.
2. Imagine a straight line from the center of the upper lip, along with the outer edge of the nose, up to the outer corner of the eye. This is where your brow should end.
3. Imagine a straight line from the tip of the nose through the middle of the eye pupil. This is where your eyebrow arch should be.
To achieve exquisite eyebrows, follow the above. If you prefer thinner eyebrows, you can tweeze, wax, or thread.
Would you like thicker eyebrows? You can fill the brows in with eyebrow pencils and gels, which create an outline for the brows or mimic hairs in sparse areas.
To create a fuller look, eyebrows can be cloned in an eyebrow transplant. Individual strands of the eyebrow are mimicked to create natural looking eyebrows of the desired shape. Too much for you? Why not try eyebrow tinting? Permanent hair dye, similar to hair color, is used on the eyebrow to darken or lighten them.
Another procedure that can be used to shape the eyebrows is an eyebrow lift. This is cosmetic surgery to raise the eyebrow, usually to create a more feminine or youthful appearance. Also, doctors can inject patients’ eyebrows with Botox or similar toxins to temporarily raise the eyebrow.
Sometimes it’s resorting to ouch to get the perfect arch!
Eyebrow threading is a popular method of hair removal originating in Asia. In more recent times, eyebrow threading has gained popularity in Western countries, especially with cosmetic application. Threading is a method for removing and shaping eyebrows. In eyebrow threading, a thin cotton or polyester thread is doubled, then twisted. The thread is then rolled over areas of unwanted hair, plucking the hair at the follicle level. Unlike tweezing, where single hairs are pulled out one at a time, threading can remove short lines of hair in one swipe.
Methods of threading include the hand method, the mouth method and neck. It has been noted that the mouth holding method is the fastest and most precise.
The benefits of threading? This process allows for a more defined and precise shape to the eyebrows and can create better eyebrow definition. Threading can also be used as a method of removing unwanted hair from the entire face and upper lip.
No matter your skin tone, eye color or hair color, the length and shape of your eyebrows draw out your fabulous facial features. The eyebrows truly have it!
Who said the eyes are the window to your soul? The eyebrow certainly speaks for itself!
