1. Clean along the brow bone

Before you begin, think about the points of your desired eyebrow shape: Beginning, arch and end.


Then brush your eyebrow hairs upward with a spoolie or brow brush.

Next, with your free hand, hold the skin beyond your eye to tighten it.


Hold your blade carefully and be sure to bend it to avoid cutting yourself.

Trimming brows

Use the tip of the blade to trim the excess hair along the brow bone.


Then clean up the bottom of the tail side of the brow.

2. Trim the hair at the front of the brows

Now comb the hairs downward, focusing mainly on the front of your brow.
