Beauty salon eyebrows can be one of the deciding factors on the impression of your face and beauty. The right shape and thickness are essential to achieving perfect eyebrows, and just like with other areas of beauty and fashion trends can change too. Then, you also need to take into consideration your shape face, eyes, skin and hair colour too.

Your eyebrows should give definition to your eyes and shape your face, and you want to avoid the extremes for the best look. Too thick or too thin will normally leave you looking less than your best. Many women prefer a natural eyebrow look too, so it’s best to avoid going too far when it comes to plucking, shaping and using make-up such as eyebrow pencils.

It’s all a fine balance, and getting the right eyebrows may take some practice. However, with the right information and advice you can have the eyebrows you want today and that’s why we have put together some of the best eyebrow beauty tips to help you achieve beauty salon eyebrows.

Consider Using a Professional Beauty Salon

Before we move on to tips that you can apply at home, it’s worthwhile considering a visit to a beauty salon to get your eyebrows done. Especially if you are inexperienced, you can see what a professional recommends for your face and how they approach your eyebrows. You can also ask any questions you might have about your face and eyebrows.

Beauticians these days usually offer very reasonable prices for eyebrow treatments, and in major cities, you will even find dedicated eyebrow bars where you can go just to get your eyebrows done.

Look At Your Face Shape

Before removing any hair or adding any make-up to your eyebrows, you first need to look at the shape of your face. Generally, it’s a case of like matching like when it comes to eyebrow beauty, so in the case of larger facial features, a thicker brow will provide balance to the face. Likewise, a thinner, shorter brow should work well for those with smaller features. As for colour, as a general rule, eyebrows should be two shades darker than your hair colour.

Visit beauty salons for professional advice, or even match your face with your favourite models and celebrities are doing and emulate their style.

Tweezing Eyebrows

Tweezing eyebrows is the first place many people get into trouble when trying to shape and beautify the eyebrows. The most common mistake is removing too much eyebrow hair leaving an over-plucked look or eyebrows that are too thin.

In fact, many professionals recommend doing the absolute minimal amount of plucking purely for tidying purposes, or even leaving out the plucking entirely in favour of trimming, waxing and styling methods. Using clear hair gel and a careful trim to shape the eyebrows is on hassle-free way to achieve the effect you want – simply smooth hair outward and leave a slight arch in the middle.

If you do choose to pluck your eyebrows, do it after a hot shower when the hair will be easiest to remove. Wipe tweezers with alcohol to remove any oily build-up that might reduce grip, and remove very small amounts of hair at a time. You can pluck hair from both the top and bottom to achieve the desired smooth shape, so don’t believe any myths you hear about going from the bottom only.

Waxing Eyebrows

If you’re tempted to give eyebrow waxing a go at home, there are a few general tips you can use to help ensure your chance of success. Firstly, it’s a good idea to brush your hair with an eyebrow brush to make sure they are in the correct position. Next, use a white eyeliner or make-up pencil to mark the general outline of your eyebrows. Any hair that is on the outside of the pencil line is what you will want to wax.

You will need to buy a waxing kit from your local chemist or beauty products supplier, and simply follow the manufacturer’s instructions on how to use the wax. It’s worth considering a ‘no-heat’ wax kit when working on the face. Make sure to stretch the skin taut with your hands, and usually you should pull wax towards your ears.

Use tweezers to remove any stubborn stray hairs, and if your skin is really sensitive, use an ice cube to dull the sensation.

Filling Gaps

Lastly, if your eyebrows are sparse, patchy or an uneven colour, you can use an eyebrow pencil or eyebrow shadow to finish the effect of your eyebrows. Press in the colour and use a light finger to soften the effect. There are specialist products if you have over plucked your eyebrows, so if this is the case, visit your beauty products provider.
