Practical advice
- Choose the right time. The ideal is to shave after taking a shower, as the heat will have dilated the pores, and the hair will come off more easily.
- Do not leave too much space between the eyebrows. Avoid leaving more than one and a half centimeters between one and the other, so as not to make the nose stand out excessively.
- Avoid the upper part of the arch. It is preferable to remove only the hair from the lower portion of the eyebrow. The result will be more natural and harmonious.
- But for truly beautiful eyes, don't overlook their health!
The right technique
Tear off one hair at a time, in the direction of growth. The movement must be clean and precise, grabbing the hair close to the root, to prevent it from breaking.
Alternate left and right, paying attention to the symmetry of the two arches.
The right shape
The eyebrows have a basic shape and a sense of growth that cannot be changed. However, they must be shaved in a thicker line near the nose and progressively thinner.
The tricks
- If you have a tuft of unruly hair in the inner corner of the eyebrow, slightly shave the upper part of this area.
- If the eyebrows are straight, round the center of the arch leaving more thickness in the inner portion and in the outer tip, then slightly shave the upper part of these ends.
- If your eyebrows are sparse, avoid making a line that is too thin.
- If your brows have a caret shape, slightly shave off the tip of the accent to create a more rounded line.

The secret to figuring out what the perfect eyebrow shape is is to take a pencil and place it in three points that will determine the beginning, the arch and the end.
Place the pencil straight along the nose to take the first point, then move slightly looking straight and align it with the pupil to understand where the arc should be, finally move it towards the outer corner of the eye to determine its end.
