Whether you want to wax your brows, tweeze, or thread, we’ve found the top spots across the country to perfect any arch. Beautiful eye brows almost transcend the beauty of the face and make an immediate visible impact in a makeover session.

Getting a pair of beautiful eye brows is one of the most useful makeup tricks on the planet. Many women overlook their eyebrows, or sometimes even worse, overpluck them.

When it comes to eye makeup, the eye brows make an important impression. They frame the eye and give the face a polished look. It is well worth making the effort to get the eyebrows looking right.

Here are some simple tips to tame your brows:

Spray a little hair spray on your brows and brush them using your toothbrush to keep them in place.

If you don’t have time for tweezing, you can get the desired contour quickly by brushing them upwards and then snipping the longest hairs beyond the natural arch using a pair of tiny scissors.

Before tweezing your brows, you must prepare your skin by wiping the brow area with a cotton ball soaked in astringent. The cooling effect numbs the skin for some time and thus, you do not feel much pain.

If your brows are sparse, use a freshly sharpened brow pencil to fill in the areas with light, quick strokes.

To get a natural and more defined look, you can brush your brows with a brow brush dipped in brow powder in upward and outward strokes.

It is important to use the correct shade for your brows. Fair women can use blonde shades while olive colored women should choose tawny or brown. Dark African-American women can use gray shades.

Brow shade should be about two shades lighter than hair color for olive or dark skinned women and two shades darker than hair color blondes or women with grey hair.

Natural eyebrows

For perfectly groomed eyebrows in an instant, try combining through them with a brush to flick away any powder or foundation. Comb the hairs upwards and outwards. This will also help give you a wide-eyed look. Then slightly slick them with clear gel to hold the shape in place

Grooming your brows

If your brows are spotty or sparse and you want to fill them in, there are several ways to do it.

1. Take an angled eyeshadow brush and press just a bit of eye shadow to the brow (medium or dark brown for brunettes, taupe for blondes or redheads, charcoal for silver or gray hair). Follow the direction of the brow and extend the brushed-on shadow to the edge of the eye.

2. Pat a tissue on top to blot up any excess. If your brows are really thin, you can pencil them in slightly thicker, but it’s difficult to make this look natural. Take an eye pencil under the brow and follow the brow line out to the edge of the eye. Use your powder sponge to press some powder on top, very gently, to soften the line. Then use a brush to lightly fill it in with shadow.

Getting your brows done by a professional is the quickest – and often most dramatic – minimakeover out there.  The right shape makes just about anyone look so much prettier, whether you tweeze (it’s more precise but takes longer.  Wax (the look is polished and its quick, but it can damage skin if you’re using retinoid or are very sensitive), or thread (the most painless but sometimes the least precise)
