What’s Brow Mapping


Whether you’re just cleaning out excess hair or shaping different eyebrow shapes to suit your face, it’s important to
identify the three key parts of your eyebrow pencil and mark them with your brow pencil. This will make the process so
much easier.
Start: Begin by placing your brow pencil vertically at the middle of each nostril and then mark the starting spot of your
eyebrows.
Middle: Pivot the pencil from the side of your nose, to find the midpoint or arch of your eyebrow.
End: Finally angle the pencil from the side of your nose to the outer corner of your eye to find the tail of your eyebrows.

Different Ways to Shape Your Eyebrows
Well wondering about how shaping eyebrows at home can be a hectic job? You don’t have to think anymore as here’s a
step by step guide into shaping different eyebrow shapes at home in different ways. All you have to do is pick your
method and get on with the task and in no time your job of eyebrow shaping at home is completed.
Eyebrow Threading
This is the most common way of shaping eyebrows which can also be done at home. If this is your first time threading
your brows at home, take it slow and don’t rush.
Products You Need:
 Sewing Thread (11 inches)
 Use of Fingers

How to Shape Eyebrows with Thread?


 Take a piece of sewing thread about 11 inches long and tied at the ends to make a loop.
 Insert your index finger and thumb from both hands in the loop and twist the loop with the fingers on one hand 4
to 5 times. You should end up with a bow-tie shape, check image below for reference.

 Place your index finger and thumb inside the loop while making sure that the knot is on your fingers and
not in the middle.
 Now comes the tricky part. Keeping the fingers of one hand pinched together, move the fingers on your
other hand. The loop's centre twist will slide up and down when you increase and decrease the distance
between your index finger and thumb.
 This motion will help pull out the hair. But remember to NOT pull it in the same direction as your hair
growth.
 Place one hand above your brow and the other below. The hand below will be used to move the thread.
 Next, place the hair you want to remove in the 'V' part of the loop and move your fingers on the hand
that's below the brow. This will move the twist over the hair and thus pull it out.

 Remember to only keep the excess hair you want to remove in the twist to avoid accidentally pulling out
the other hair.
 This method takes a lot of time and precision so be sure to not rush the process.

Eyebrow Plucking

This has been the next method to create eyebrow shapes at home. Eyebrow plucking hasn't been popular but people
prefer it more than twisted threading. If you are choosing this method, just follow the given instructions and you are ready
to begin.
Products You Need:
 Tweezer

to avoid over-plucking.
 Experts recommend tweezing both eyebrows at the same time – 2-3 hairs on one, then the same amount on the
other side, so it is easier to achieve symmetry.

and avoid any irritation.

Those with thick messy eyebrows might have a lot of grooming and tweezing to do to keep them looking neat. If you have
looked for an answer for this question “how to shape eyebrows for beginners?” Even though you have thick eyebrows,
keep on reading.
Begin by removing the hair from the start of your eyebrow, once you're done carefully move to the top of your brow
keeping in mind the arch and once you're done with the top, move under the arch and finally remove the stray strands at
the end of your eyebrow. Repeat this process on the other side as well making sure that both eyebrows are even. This will
help give your brows a more defined eyebrow shape.

How To Shape Thin Eyebrows


Doing eyebrows at home can be challenging when you don’t know how to go about it. Whether you have thin or thick
eyebrows, it’s a risky job because if you don’t know the method or you don’t have the right knowledge, your efforts can go
in vain.
For those with thin eyebrows, this might be a quick but tricky process. You need to be sure to only remove the excess
strands of hair in order to not make your eyebrows thinner than they already are. All you have to do is apply some brow
gel to lay the hair flat and then remove any stray strands on the bottom and at the edge of your eyebrows.
