QUESTION ANSWER Without seeing your brows 'in the flesh' it's a bit tough to give you a detailed description on your best-bet for brow shaping- we highly recommend coming for a professional Eyebrow Shaping- but if you are more of a do-it-yourselfer here are some brow basics: 1) Keep the inner brow origin point directly above your tear duct. This means if you drew a line directly up toward your forehead from the tear duct, you'd find the inner point of your brow. When women (or men, for that matter) tweeze too much space in between their brows, the shape starts to look oddly 'ET' (and I'm not talking about Entertainment Tonight.) Precision tweezers, of course, can be your best brow pal- we love Tweezerman slanted tweezers. 2) The optimal outside endpoint of your brow can be found by taking a pencil, placing one end at the side of your nose, stretching the other end past the outside corner of the eye, and following it along to where it intersects with your brow. Brows that have been tweezed too short look like they've been run over by a lawn mower gone loose. 3) The best arch point for the eyebrow can be found by taking that very same pencil, placing it along the side of the nose, then beside the outside of the iris, and into the brow. This point is USUALLY 2/3 of the way out from the center, but varies from individual to individual, so your own may be a little closer in, or a little further out. By the way, measure your arch-iris point when you're looking straight ahead. Shifting your eyes left or right will only swing your angles off track! 4) DO NOT tear a picture of someone's brows out of a magazine, and try to make yours look the same. It never works! I did it once and it looked liek I had two little minnows swimming towards one another. So take my advice- work with what you've got. Embrace your own eyebrows. What you want to do is TWEAK, not freak. 5) Come in for a professional consultation, or first time shaping, if you don't feel comfortable setting the pace of pluck. You can always follow the line that we have defined. We use the method developed by Anastasia- the Eyebrow Queen of Beverly Hills. Check out her website- she has sort of set the standard for brow shaping. www.anastasia.net. Arch on! With Love and Glow, The Beauty Guru
