The rules for everyone – no matter what your brow shape:
1. This sounds obvious but bears repeating: Don’t pluck too much or too often. The general rule is to shape your brows thoroughly every 6 weeks; in between, simply tweeze away any errant stragglers as needed.
2. Pluck one hair at a time, then step back to check your work in the mirror before going in for more.
3. Aim for full, natural arches – always more youthful than severe brows.
If you have sparse brows:
4. Invest in a brow powder-and-wax combo like Motives Essential Brow Kit. Dip a brush into the wax and then tap it against the brow powder to pick up the color. Go with a lighter taupe-y shade to start; you can always go back and intensify the effect if you like.
5. Using short, feathery brush-strokes, define the outer half of each brow first. If you need more definition, color the inner half of the arch, too.

Your turn: Do you usually define your brows or not? And are you brave enough to shape them yourself or do you go to a pro?
