“Brows should frame the eyes,” says Lenore Greifer, makeup artist at Scottsdale’s VH Spa at Hotel Valley Ho. “They should be shaped based on the size and shape of the eye, in a complimentary way that looks natural.”

Believe it or not, getting envy-worthy brows is not as hard as it may seem. All it really takes is understanding the best shape and thickness for your face and using the proper tools.

The most important thing to remember with eyebrow maintenance is to not stray too far from the natural shape of your eyebrows. Your goal is to correct and enhance; you don’t want to go crazy and try to force an unnatural arch or thickness that will not be flattering for the shape of your face and eyes.

 “Brows are important to shape the eyes. A fuller brow makes a woman look younger than a thin line,” says Liz Klouda, aesthetician at VH Spa at Hotel Valley Ho.

For gorgeous eyebrows at home, you’ll need a quality pair of tweezers like award-winning brand, Tweezerman. They run on the pricier side, but the investment is well worth it.

First, identify the natural beginning and ending of your eyebrows. They should start at just about the inner corner of your eye and end where your brow bone naturally ends. Feel free to pluck any hair beyond these points but be gentle. Only pluck one hair at a time to avoid major mistakes. 

Then find your brow’s natural arch which should come just two-thirds of the way across the shape of the eye and pluck stray hairs below that area to enhance a perfectly flattering arch.
