How to Know Your Best Eyebrow Arch and Shape (with Image Illustration)
Most women shape their eyebrows to look like the shape they saw and liked on someone they know or have seen on before and after makeovers done by top makeup artists. That’s wrong, and that’s why they look not-so-cute after grooming their brows. When you see a brow you like, it does not mean that the same eyebrow shape will look good on your face. The shape of your face should tell you the shape of your eyebrows – and it all starts from knowing where your arch is (see the diagram below). Follow your natural arch when shaping your eyebrows.
Below is an image guide to help you get your perfect eyebrow arch and shape. – use it to find the position of your brow start, arch, and end. It’s very important that you get your arch right, but it’s simple if you follow the guide in the image below.

To Tweeze or To Shave or To Thread?
While tweezing and threading are very common eyebrow grooming techniques, shaving with razor blade is the most common in Nigeria. Many women, especially Nigerians are just not comfortable with tweezing their eyebrows. If you know how to shape your eyebrows using a razor blade, you can get it to look really beautiful. However, a lot of ladies just don’t know how to correctly shave and shape their eyebrows to fit their face shape.
It’s common to see many pretty women with over-shaved brows; some even totally shave outside their face shape (such that they can only look better if they fill the brows). While it’s not expensive to always run to your favourite hairdresser or makeup artist to have your brows shaped, sometimes for some reason you just can’t find time to go out. So, you see why you need to learn to do your brows yourself.
SAFETY TIPS: To avoid scratching or cutting your skin while shaving your brows, use a brow razor (available in beauty stores) or a good, hard razor blade such as Tiger (popular in Nigeria), and Ardell brow razor (easily available in reputable makeup stores). Don’t hold the razor straight up. Instead, hold it flat against your skin while shaving – this way, you’ll have greater control of the blade and reduce the risk of cutting your skin.
Final Takeaway: Perfect Eyebrow Shape
The eyes and eyebrows are one of the first things a person sees on your face, and can significantly change the appearance of the entire face – they can either make you look older or younger or just your age, depending on how you groom them.

And, if you have naturally thick, bushy brows, one of the featured videos also showed you a no-shaving method to trim your eyebrows to shape.

Please how do you make those face smoth what do u use for it.I tried to do that I applied a lot of foundation but its nt as clean as that
Hello Shirley, thanks for stopping by. You do not need too much foundation to get a smooth face, just a small quantity is enough if you use the right technique to apply foundation – click here to see our featured videos on how to do your face makeup from start to finish.
FACT is that foundation only helps to cover spots and make the face look smoother, BUT if your facial skin is very rough (such as from pimples or scar), it is recommended to treat it so that your makeup/ foundation will be smoother.
IN ADDITION: Having a primer and concealer in your makeup bag will HELP YOU ACHIEVE A SMOOTHER FINISHED LOOK when you apply foundation.
I hope those tips help. Be sure to check out our other beauty and makeup video tutorials.

when I shave my brows the skin around becomes fair. is it normal? I’m dark skinned though
Hi Ebi, that normally happens if you were using a very new/ sharp razor blade OR if you are pressing the razor hard on your skin. But if you try placing the razor lightly when shaving your eyebrow, you will notice that that problem will reduce.
