The Perfect Eyebrow Shape

The Perfect Eyebrow Shape

We all like to achieve a perfect classic brow, that defines your face and features.
Since studying the brow area at AOFM Make Up School, I have become a little obsessed with them. Any photo shoot I have, I have to say the brow is the main area I really look forward to working my magic on, I have had a couple of models laugh at me for this, which has been quite funny on a shoot.

Three simple steps determine the perfect eyebrow shape, please see below:


Firstly you will need a thin make up brush or something of a similar size, a pencil will also do the trick, you will need to position this at point A (See picture)  this is at the corner of the nose and the inner corner of the eye, this is were the eyebrow should start.

Then position the thin object at Point B (See picture) this is again at the corner of the nose (as above) but slightly move the thin object to the centre of the eye, this is were the highest part of the arch will be.

Then lastly position the object at Point C (See picture); this is again from the corner of the nose to the outer corner of the eye.  This is were the brow should end.

Now  you will have achieved your perfect brow shape. :-)

You can pencil in your brows with a brow pencil, one of my favourites is Rimmels Brow Pencil this lasts such a long time and give a great finish £2.99. I also use a Brow Kit, I use Benefit’s Brow Zinge Kit in shade medium £21, this has a wax substance and a shadow substance which you mix together.

A little handy tip I always always do is spray my brow comb/brush with a little hairspray then apply this to the brow, this keeps the hairs nicely in place all day, or alternatively you can use brow gel. MUA sell one for £1, this can be purchased in Superdrug stores.

The inserted picture of the three models is from my anerican edition vogue magazine, this really is all about the brows with the make up, and they look stunning. This is a fine example of a perfect brow.
