Eye Brow Shaping to Perfection...

Begin the eye brow shaping process by balancing your eyebrow so that it is proportionate with the rest of your face. Look in the mirror and place imaginary lines (or a pencil) across your face to match the lines shown here. Do this on both sides of the nose and pluck only in between. Be careful about the distance between the inner brows and the length of the brows.

A. When eye brow shaping, imagine a vertical line going up from the outside of your nostril towards your forehead. The inner part of the eyebrow should converge with this line.

B. A straight line going out from the outside corner of your nostril past the outer corner of your eye marks the end of your eyebrow.

C. Your arch should be found two thirds of the way from your inner eyebrow.

Hold the Tweezers!...

The main purpose of eye brow shaping and removing unwanted hair from the eyebrow area is to create a flattering arch that enhances the eye. Make sure that you have a clear idea of the shape you wish to achieve before you pick up a pair of tweezers. It's best to stick to a naturally trimmed look, unless you are trying to create a more dramatic effect.

If you are thinking of plucking your eye brows for the first time, see a professional before you do. Many times the hair tweezed during eye brow shaping does not grow back right or does not grow back at all. Either way, you will need a good pair of tweezers and the ability to use them correctly. Few makeup tricks can help you look as good as a pair of beautiful eye brows can.

Most of us women have eyebrows that require some type of definition (eye brow shaping) to look complete. Applying make-up to your eyebrows helps them stand out and look complete. At first, you may feel the eye brow pencil has exaggerated your eye brows. Just remember that your are used to seeing your old look and it takes a short time to adjust to a new look.

Eye Brow Shaping - How to Shape and Define Your Eyebrows

Should Your Eye Shadow Match Your Eye Color?!...

As mentioned earlier, excess color detracts from your eyes and becomes counter productive, especially when you try to match it to your eye color. Many times, in trying to match the eye make up to your eye color you end up distracting away from your eyes because the matching color (mismatching in some cases!) becomes the attraction (this is especially true with non-neutral colors).

So, in following eye make up tips, you'll find that neutral eye shadows are the smart choice because they are easy to work with and complement your skin tone. Of course, neutral doesn't have to mean every shade of brown. Any of the following colors can be considered neutral in the appropriate shade: gray, gold, blue, vanilla, olive, brown, pale purple, mauve, beige.
