Eyebrow tutorial

Hi!
I've got a request on how I do my eyebrows. Both color and shape. So here it is. I will guide you through how I do it and some tips on how to pluck yours in a shape that fits your face.

First of all: Color!
If you, like me, have a rather dark hair color and slighter light eyebrows, you should color them. It will do an enormous difference in your appearance, and your face will be more harmonious.
It's super easy to do yourself, and you can buy the color in almost every drugstore and some supermarkets.
This is what I use every 3 weeks

You just mix the formula like described on the box and apply! I let mine sit for about 20 min, and voila! Darker brows!
Just clean it off with a make-up removal pad.

Plucking:
After this I pluck the fly-aways. Here is a little guideline on how to pluck it to fit your face. Because something I really hate, is women with over-plucked brows where most of them are drawn on by a pencil. It a shame, because it is pretty simple to make your own brows look gorgeous and natural:

1. If you draw a line from the outer tip of your nose and directly up, that is where your brow should start.
2. Is the place where your brow should peak.
3. Where the brow should stop. You could also measure it. Approximately two finger-wide from the hairline and inwards. 
4. You should be able to draw a horizontal line from the start to the end, to make sure your brows don't disappear into thin air!

These steps will suit you no matter what face-shape you have, because it is designed to follow the angels of any individual face. 

Pain:
If you get really sore when plucking your eyebrows, you could place an ice cube on the area to ease the pain. Some find it helpful to smear on a bit of aloe vera creme as well. 

This was pretty much it. Comment if you have any questions! 

Love, Christine
