December 28, 2021 Eyebrows Views: 1251

In recent years, eyebrows have never been more in the spotlight for everyone, perhaps due to the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak since 2019, and people are focusing all their attention on the upper part of their faces. A great pair of eyebrows is a great way to frame your face and bring out your eyes and make a visual difference to your face. But if they're too thin, too dark, or just plain overdone, they can detract from your overall look rather than complement it. And of course, the obsessive pursuit of the perfect brow shape can lead to mistakes.

What should you do to get the best out of your eyebrows? Below we have listed 7 things you should not do to your eyebrows that may help you get the shape you want.

Mistake 1: Use a brow stencil.

For many newcomers to the makeup world, drawing or grooming eyebrows to get a good shape is not an easy task. Many businesses are righteously saying that an eyebrow stencil will make it easy to get the perfect shape. This may sound like a good way to achieve the perfect shape. But don't be fooled by these businesses. Eyebrows drawn with a stencil will look incredibly unnatural and because it's a stencil, it's hard to use on everyone's face shape. That means you're likely to get eyebrows that are too long, too short, or too pointed.

Method: If you've fallen victim to an eyebrow stencil, stop using it immediately. Let your eyebrows grow into their natural shape, and then find a beautician to design the look that best suits your face shape.

Mistake 2: Pluck eyebrows aimlessly

The obsessive-compulsive or overly perfectionist always wants to pluck out new stray hairs when they see them. As soon as a bit of hair comes out, it is immediately and relentlessly eradicated from the roots. In fact, if you repeatedly pluck one spot of eyebrow hair, your hair follicles may suffer irreparable damage.

Method: Before plucking your eyebrows, take a minute to plan your eyebrow shape. After you get the shape you want, you can also go for this Electric Eyebrow Hair Razor which can help you remove fine hair, smoothen skin, and shape eyebrows safely without pulling hair, 100% painless.

Fill in with a pencil to create a good shape, then tweeze around it, which will help protect you from over-plucking and making them uneven.

Mistake 3: Avoid excessive geometric shapes

The shape of the eyebrows is a matter of harmony between straight and diagonal lines, but it should not follow the geometric design exactly. Otherwise, such a brow shape may eliminate the freshness of your face, harden your features and your expression may suffer.

Method: Respect the proportions of your face and keep these rules in mind.

The eyebrows must start exactly above the inner corner of the eye.

The eyebrows must end at an imaginary line from the nostril to the outer corner of the eye.

After outlining the approximate shape of your eyebrows, gently fill in your eyebrows with the pencil several times. Don't fill too hard or your eyebrows will look fake and not in harmony with your face.

Mistake 4: Follow the fashion trend of the moment

Not only in the world of makeup but also in the world of fashion, various trends are changing from time to time. Many people will draw the most popular eyebrows of the moment in order to follow the fashion trends. When thick eyebrows are popular, many people go for thick eyebrows. When flat eyebrows are popular, many people shave their eyebrows to make them flat. In reality, the trend of the moment will not suit everyone.

Method: Choosing eyebrows that fit your face shape is the right way to go.

Mistake 5: Fill your eyebrows too dark

In general, you should choose a color that is similar to your natural hair to fill in your eyebrows. For example, if you have brown hair, you’d better choose a dark brown to fill in your eyebrows instead of black, otherwise, it will look too jumpy.

And as is the case with many makeup products, when it comes to your eyebrows, less is more. Overfilling your eyebrows can make them look extremely stiff.

Method: When you apply any color to your eyebrows, stick to short, light strokes. Be sure to back away from the mirror after applying to make sure you didn't overdo it then fill in your brows multiple times.

Mistake 6: No blending

Many people feel like their eyebrows look very unnatural don't blend naturally into their features after drawing them because they skipped the blending step.

In addition to your foundation, eyeshadow, and blush, blending should also be used to your brow filler so that it doesn't look too harsh or overdone.

Method: After applying your brow filler, use a spiral brush to gently comb your brow into place, gently blending it with your natural brow hair.

Mistake #7 Make two eyebrows exactly the same

When this point is mentioned, I'm sure many of you are wondering “shouldn't both eyebrows be the same?” I can say for sure that the eyebrows should be the same, but you shouldn't insist on having them exactly the same. When you insist on this, you may over-trim them. Eyebrows that are too thin are worse than those that are just a little different.

Method: If you accidentally overdo it, then leave them alone for a while and let them grow back. Once they come back, you can shape them to make sure the length, angle, and thickness are close but don't be too fussy.
