How do you cut your eyebrows?

To shape your eyebrows, follow these steps:

1. Prep your brows:

- Brush your eyebrows upwards with a brow brush or upward combing motion to see which ones grow out of your brow line and need trimming.

- Clean your brows with a makeup remover or micellar water to get rid of any oils or makeup and get a better view.

2. Trim excessive brow hairs:

- Use small scissors or a dedicated brow trimmer to trim the longest hairs to the length of the other brows.

- Work one segment of the brow at a time, starting from the inner corners and moving outwards.

- Be cautious and don't cut too much as regrowth takes some time.

3. Outline the shape:

- Use an eyebrow pencil or brow pomade to lightly sketch the ideal brow shape you want to achieve. This helps you avoid taking too much off while plucking.

4. Start plucking:

- With clean hands or tweezers sanitized with rubbing alcohol, start by plucking any hairs outside of the outline you created. If you pluck inside, you risk creating sparse areas.

- Work slowly, hair by hair, applying even pressure to the tweezer to prevent snapping hairs.

- Focus on hairs along the bottom edge of the brow to define the arches.

5. Continue shaping and cleaning:

- Step back frequently and assess your eyebrows to see if you need to adjust the outline or pluck more hairs. Don't pluck too many at once! Take breaks if you're unsure.

6. Clean and moisturize:

- After shaping, remove any stray hairs with a damp cloth and apply a touch of oil or hydrating moisturizer to soothe your brows.

Remember, everyone's eyebrows are unique, so it's important to find the shape and style that work best for your face and enhance your natural features. If you're unsure, consider consulting with a brow artist or makeup professional for their expert insights and guidance.
