*Sigh* Eyebrows...one of the most challenging parts about being a women. I have really light eyebrows naturally so I draw them in, however, I still apply this technique to create my shape.
I use MAC's paint pot Constructivist , NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder in Ash/Taupe & MAC's Dirty Blonde eyebrow pencil {discontinued}.
A) Place your pencil vertically at the side of your nose. This is where your brows should begin. Depending on the shape of your nose, you may want to start at the inside or the outside of your pencil. The closer together your brows are, the narrower your nose will look. So if you already have a very thin nose, you may want to add some shape to it visually by starting your brows at the outer part of your pencil. If your brows are already very far apart (mine are, due to years of uneducated plucking), you may want to fill them in to make them slightly closer together.
B) Place your pencil vertically at the outer line of the colored part of your eye. This will determine where your arch should occur. Another method to determine this is to place your pencil at an angle from the corner of your nose across your pupil. Do not over shape your arch, because if you make it too thin, your whole eyebrow will lose definition. Start out with a light hand.
C) Place your pencil at an angle from the corner of your nose to the outer corner of your eye. This will help you figure out the most flattering length and angle of your brows. You don’t want to manipulate the tail of your eyebrow to curl too sharply downwards, or to flatten out completely.
D) Place your pencil horizontally across your browbone along the lower line of your eyebrow. This will determine where your brow should end. Brows that are too long or too short will throw off the balance of your face and won’t be flattering on your eyes.
I hope this helps you! Remember that your natural shape is the most flattering :)
