I myself both wax and pluck my eyebrows. After waxing my upper lip, I use the same strip to get hairs that are between my eyebrows, just above the nose, to eliminate that monobrow look. I then pluck my eyebrows and trim them. Now this is a funny technique, but I use nail clippers to trim my eyebrows, I know you can by little scissors that are specifically designed to trim your eyebrows, but honestly, unless I buy an eyebrow kit that has the works of a palette, tweezers, a brow brush and those little scissors, I don't believe I will be using them anytime. This nail clippers does work, either buy a spare one if you're worried about germs or just simply run hot water to get rid of the nasties from your nails.

So you know how you're meant to pluck your eyebrows up to about the edge of your nostrils, this isn't exactly true. If you want your nose to look thinner or your face just suits the longer eyebrow, go more inwards from your nostrils, if you want your nose to look a little bigger or your nose is thin, simply go up to the edge of the nostril or a little further depending on your judgement obviously, so try not to pluck all the hair off because sometimes your face suits a different look to the standard look.

Now I'll help you find the starting point, the arch and the ending point of your eyebrows, and then find the perfect thickness for them that'll define and outline them even more.
The first most important step is to measure your eyebrows, it sounds silly but this is to help you perfect the brows and allows you to outline the look of what your brows should look like before you even lay a  hand on them, while ensuring the perfect brow every single time.

Starting point: Grab a mirror, look into it and using a ruler or laying the tweezers on an angle, position it sitting vertically up from the centre, or close to the centre, of your nostril, or move your starting point to the outer edge of the inner nostril or however close you want your eyebrows to be, and intersect with your top brow line. With your eyebrow pencil at the ready, mark the vertical line that matches your natural brow thickness and height. Be sure to make the starting point of your eyebrow a right angle
because this defines your eyebrow and looks best this way.

Arch: Looking straight into the mirror, find your arch which is vertically at, or close to the edge of your iris that lies right on the bone of your brow. Grab your eye pencil and mark the arch point, remove the hairs along the bottom, starting from the point of your inner brow then going to the peak. So your inner brow should be more thicker than the outer part of the brow. If you don't get it right the first time, there's no need for panic, you can correct this with a brow product. Don't forget that your arch may be located at a different position depending on your face shape and what you believe suits it. Also, arches aren't for everyone, sometimes just a circular or straight eyebrow shape suits certain faces.

Ending point: Grab the ruler and angle it from the edge of the nostril to the outer corner of your eye. The ruler meets a point at the brow where your brow is supposed to end. Once you've marked the end of where your eyebrow should be, pluck whatever is outside the line as you would with the starting point.  However, your ending point may sacrifice your brow length as a whole so readjust the starting point or simply leave it alone if you're happy with the result after finding the starting point and the arch point.

How to find the starting point, arch and ending point (Remember, this may differ according to your face shape and your general judgement.)

Definition, thickness and outlining: Using the brow quad ratio, use the markings and calculate your BQR to determine the thickness of your brows, this ratio allow you to perfect your brow shape and ultimately enhances those eyebrows. If you're worried that your ratio will be off, try to avoid over-waxing or over-plucking because this can put your shaping out of whack. The ratio provides an insight into where you need to grow your brow hairs, remove the hairs to create definition and where to fill in parts using brow products.

I use this technique myself and it works like a charm, according to this ratio I have the perfect ratio. For example, 5.5cm eyebrow length, 3.5cm arch length, 2.5cm tail length and 1cm thickness.

If you're a little scared to shape your eyebrows, remove hairs through plucking, threading or waxing them yourself, I highly recommend visiting a a professional and observing them, this is the most beneficial way to learn how to do them yourself if you've not got the money to pay for someone else to do them, but make sure you ask questions or ask the professional to take it slow and even ask for a mirror to hold while they do it. After you've seen a professional, I recommend measuring your eyebrows according to the ratio and then mimicking what the professional has done and perfect the technique yourself.

In the future, I might make a vlog on how to do this technique, but for now, hopefully the explanation and the diagrams help you out.



BENEFIT BROW ZINGS

This kit is probably the most expensive one I've used but it is worth it, I highly recommend it to anyone, the Benefit Cosmetics eyebrow experts sold me when a staff members applied it and told me that it lasts a long time, so you get a lot of bang and length for your buck.
Although you're provided with the works, being the wax for shaping and helping the powder stick to the brow, the shaded powder, the tweezers, the hard angle brush and blending brush. I was recommended that a longer hard angle brush was better for beginners, but if you're not bothered buying it, simply use the one provided in the kit and practice, practice, practice.
The price of this kit varies from store to store, starting from around $30-$50.
This is an incredible kit if you're on a budget, it's simpler to the Benefit product it has the wax and the shaping and grooming tools once again, but this time it includes a duo brow powder so you can define your eyebrows further. This compact, little product provides the same end result as any other brow kit you will ever find, but at a decent price. For me, it's my favourite product I've ever used and allows me to achieve the effortless and natural eyebrows that I want and need. This nifty little beauty product will cost you around $10, which is perfect if you're on a budget!



REVLON COLOURSTAY EYEBROW LINER

I was recommended this product a while ago and I can safely say that it's quite the little wonder. It was described to me as a crayon and I was shown how to use it, you simply fill in your eyebrows lightly and with the handy brow brush you smooth and soften the look, that becomes defined and accentuates those perfect brows. What I absolutely love about this product is the fact that it's so easy to use and apply, it dries quickly and last longs, it's even waterproof and smudge proof, how crazy it that! I did my research on this product, and it contains vitamin E so your skin won't dry out and is perfect for sensitive skin which is an added plus and gets the tick of approval for me.
