- Mark the highest point with a dot using the pencil.
- Finally, locate the end point of your eyebrow by placing the ruler or tool diagonally from the side of your nose to the outer corner of your eye.
- Mark the end point with a dot.
- Use the spoolie brush to brush your eyebrows upward and trim any stray hairs that fall outside the mapped shape.
- Use tweezers to remove any hairs that fall outside the mapped shape.
- Fill in your eyebrows using a brow pencil or powder to create a natural look.
