In order to frame and lift your face you need to create the perfect brows, to do this you should first pluck your eyebrows using a pair of good tweezers. For best results this procedure should be completed just after a bath or a shower, as the skin is at it softest then.

Firstly tweeze away the stray hairs between and underneath the brows. If you are shaping your eyebrows for the first time then a good tip is to use a stencil as a guide. Begin by choosing a natural shaped stencil, and then secondly shade over the stencil. The final step is to pluck away any stray hairs that don’t appear in line with the stencil. The brand Shavata has some great eyebrow shapers on the market; these are available from most beauty counters and can be obtained for a price of £12.

You can use either a powder or a pencil to shade the brows, for best results this should be two shades lighter than your natural brow colour. Brow pencils are best for creating a defined and definite shape whilst brow powders are more suitable for creating a softer style. Powders are especially useful if you have brows which have areas that are quite sparse. When choosing a brow pencil, opt for one that is firm and not waxy in consistency and for best results always keep the product sharpened.

You should apply the pencil or powder-using feather like strokes; this should be completed using a quick action. When opting for powder be sure to purchase an angled brow brush. The cosmetic brand Illamasqua offer brow brushes from £15.50 and are a very popular choice as they easily create the illusion of a shapely brow that is extended in length and appears more defined.

To finish the look apply a translucent powder to the brow, this should be brushed over the eye brows lightly and will in turn aid in keeping the colour to stay put.
