How To Get Perfect Eyebrows, By Jeffree Star

The ultimate brow can take years to perfect. Just ask MySpace sensation and electro-dance pop artist, Jeffree Star, who has been testing new shapes and colors for as long as he can remember. Because Jeffree did the leg work, all we have to do is take notes! Here is Jeffree’s guide to getting great brows…

Jeffree says: “Brush your brows upward, then use brow scissors to cut the very ends of any long hairs and now brush downward and do the same. Trimming the hair before tweezing will show the brow shape and remove the excess so that you can create the perfect shape.”

“Now start by holding a pencil parallel to the side of the bridge of your nose. The inner edge of your brows should start here. To determine the highest point of your arch, place the pencil parallel to the outside corner of your iris. Angling the pencil diagonally from your nostril to the outside corner of your eye will tell you where your brow should end.”

“Mark the spots you just mapped out with a brow pencil, then begin tweezing or waxing. Remove no more than two rows of hair to maintain a natural effect. If you have thick brows and want a more dramatic arch, you may also need to remove just a few hairs from the top of the outer edges to create a subtle downward slope.”

“Not sure which arch-shaping option is right for you? Tweezing is best if you don’t have a lot of hair to remove or just need to clean up a few strays. Waxing is ideal for naturally bushy or dark brows that grow back quickly. It’s also great for cleaning up any fine peach-fuzzy hairs above your brows.”
