Eyebrows are an important part of your face and create an influence to your face. To make your eyes look larger and more open keep adequate space between your eyes and your eyebrows by plucking clean from beneath the brows. But don’t pluck too much so as to make your brows too thin. If you have bushy eyebrows or very thick eyebrows, then you might are in need to trim the ends to keep the length short and to make them less thick.

The shape of your eyebrows should be in a slight arch, wider toward your nose or in the start and thinning toward the temples. The peak of the arch should generally be about ¾ of the distance of the width of your eye toward the temple. The length of the brow is determined by the width of your eyes. Start your eyebrows about where your eyes begin inside your nose and end them just beyond where your eyes end toward your temples.

If the size of your eyes is small than do not keep thick eyebrows. They’ll make them appear even more smaller. Thinner brows will allow smaller eyes to look larger. 

If your eyes are spaced too close to each other, make a slightly larger space between your eyebrows than you normally would. Not too great a space, just sufficient to give a more open and wider look.

Eyebrow Pencil Selection:

As for color, choose an eyebrow pencil that somewhat matches your hair color, but never go for black, even if your hair is black. Use dark brown for black or brunette, lighter brown for brownette, auburn or brown for red hair, light brown or dark blond for blonds.

Tip: A gold pencil can be used, lightly and sparsely, as a highlight with red and blond hair. It creates a soft yet exciting look. Always keep your eyebrow pencils sharp for a more natural look.

Applying Eyebrow Pencil:

When applying eyebrow pencil, use short, light, upward, quick strokes for each “hair,” allowing them to blend together. Never draw the pencil through the whole eyebrow in one stroke. Strokes should be in upward/outward motion. Keep your eyebrows as natural looking as possible.
