Get Brows That Are Face Flattering

Perfectly shaped brows can give you and your face an instant face lift without the nip and tuck. Just a little snip here, and a tweeze there can take years off your age, and make your eyes appear larger and more open. Giving your brows a little grooming will also highlight your bone structure and open your face. No downtime either and the result is beautiful. Debra Messing seen here, is a die-hard brow devotee and has hers done by celebrity groomer Anastasia, who also happens to have the best eyebrow stencils evah!

If you’re unsure of what to remove and what to leave alone, I suggest using an eyebrow stencil to help with the plucking. Once you have filled the brow in with color and have the desired shape, anything outside of the shape should be tweezed, and trimmed. I am not a fan of waxing since the skin around the eye area is extremely delicate and after lots of tugging your eyes pay the price. This goes for above and under the eyebrow.
A LITTLE EXTRA TIP: To get Debra’s perfectly manicured arches, comb brows upward using a fine-tooth eyebrow comb, and then lay the stencil over the eye and fill in with color. Once you’ve done this remove the stencil and carefully trim any hairs that poke above your browline. If you want a very clean line above the brow you can use an eyebrow trimmer, which will get rid of the tiniest hairs in a flash.
