🧭 Mapping Your Brows (So They Don’t Look Like Distant Cousins)

Use this quick brow map method to shape your brows correctly:

1. Start Point: Hold a brush vertically along the side of your nose — where it touches your brow is where your brow should start.

2. Arch Point: Angle the brush through the center of your iris — that’s your natural arch.

3. End Point: Line it from the corner of your nose to the outer corner of your eye — that’s where your brow should end.

🛍️ Use a brow mapping pencil or stencil to trace your shape before filling.

💡 How to Fill In Brows (Without Going Overboard)

1. Brush it out: Use a spoolie to comb your brows up and out.

2. Outline the shape: Use a light hand to sketch the bottom and tail of your brows with pencil or pomade.

3. Fill in sparse spots: Use light, hair-like strokes to mimic your natural growth.

4. Set with gel: Use a clear or tinted brow gel to lock them in place.

5. Highlight the brow bone: Optional, but adds lift and polish!

🧼 Don’t Forget Maintenance

• Tweeze only stray hairs — don’t overpluck!

• Trim long brow hairs with brow scissors every 1–2 weeks.

• Use brow razors if you’re afraid of tweezers.

• Condition brows with brow serums if they’re sparse or thinning.

🛍️ Keep a small grooming kit with scissors, razor, tweezers, and spoolie.

🚫 Brow Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Going too dark – Always choose a shade one or two shades lighter than your natural brow if you have dark hair.

❌ Drawing one harsh line – Blend it out! Brows should look soft and full, not drawn on.

❌ Over-tweezing the tails – This throws off your face balance.

❌ Skipping the spoolie – It’s like a brush for your brows. Don’t skip it.
