Tips for shaping your eyebrows

Eyebrow treatments like the Keratin eyebrow lamination are growing in popularity with more people preferring to have the perfect eyebrows. The Keratin eyebrow lamination is similar to a perm and is meant to make the hair fluffier as well as lift the brows. Here are few tips for shaping your eyebrows:

  • Some of the popular techniques to shape your eyebrows include plucking, waxing, sugaring, threading, microblading, tinting.

  • Straight: This can have very subtle natural arches and brushing them regularly will give it a good lift.
  • Arched/rounded: This is a naturally arched brow that is ideal for faces that have sharp or angular features.
  • Hard-angled or soft-angled: This can add dimension to a round face. It is possible to angle it to more or less a centre peak for perfect definition.
  • Tapered: This is concentrated in the first two-thirds of the shape tapering off as they reach the edge of the eye. It is possible to combine it with other shapes to embrace the fullness of the natural arches.
