Mistake #2: Stop plucking in-front of a magnifying mirror

Magnifying mirrors are perfect for applying makeup or lashes, however, when it comes to brows they can be your worst enemy. Seeing your brows too close up will make you think the amount of hair you’re taking off is less than what you actually are. You should always keep the mirror at least half a metre away from your face and use as much natural light as you can.

Mistake #3: Tweezing at the wrong time

Tweezing can be an unpleasant experience. We recommend tweezing post-shower or bath. This will allow the steam to open your pores and naturally loosen your hair follicles. Making it easier to remove the hairs and reducing redness and irritation. 

Mistake #4: Plucking your brows in oblivion

We are all guilty of grabbing the tweezers every time we see a hair out of place, but this can lead to overplucking. It is best to leave the brows for about 2 weeks between plucking, or longer depending on how fast your hair grows. This will decrease over plucking as you will have more to work with.

Need a new pair of tweezers? With its sleek, slimline black finish, HD Brows Precision Tweezers are a must for any brow perfectionist.

Mistake #5: Stop applying any kind of skincare products to your brows

You may not think it, but face creams and gels can be harmful to brows, they can halt growth or worst-case scenario, cause hair loss. Try to avoid applying any lotions or makeup to your brows unless they have been purposely designed for them.

If you’re on the look-out for a product to increase your brow density, then look no further than HD Brows Brow Maximiser.  

Mistake #6: Say goodbye to heavy-handed brows

This is something we are all guilty of. At one stage dark, defined brows were considered on-trend, however, now it is all about natural, seamless brows. Instead of sharp lines, try and create natural hair strokes in line with your own hairs. As previously mentioned the HD Brows Define Pencil is perfect for creating this look. As well as the HD Brow Creme applied with the HD Angled Brow Brush will give you the same effect.

Round-Shaped Face

A round-shaped face is characterised by a soft, curved chin. The widest part of the face is the cheekbones, with the face length and width being almost identical. The best brow shape for a rounded face is light and only slightly curved brows. Rounded brows will make the face appear even more round. To make the face appear longer, add length to the tails, and a high arch.

Oval-Shaped Face

Generally, oval-shaped faces have the same (or similar) forehead and chin width. You may also have small curves on the side of the face and a soft chin. If you have an oval-shaped face, you’re in luck as your face type will suit nearly all brow shapes. However, less angular (soft) brows will be the most flattering.

Square-Shaped Face

Square face shapes are strong with defined features. Usually, the sides of the face are straight and the jawline is sharp and pronounced. The most flattering brow shape for a square face is angular, in-line with the facial features. Height in the arch and longer tails will help to make the face appear longer. Flatter brows will make a square face shape stand out.

Oblong-Shaped Face

An oblong face shape is similar to a square face shape – with the forehead, cheeks, and jawline being similar width with a slight curvature at the chin. For the most flattering brows, keep a long tail and create distance between the fronts, this will make the forehead appear wider. A slight angular shape to the brows will be the most complimentary for this face type.

Heart-Shaped Face

Anyone with a heart-shaped face will have a wider forehead and a narrow, more pointed chin. The brow shape should make the forehead appear smaller and soften the lower part of the face. To try and place emphasis on the centre of the face, brows should be kept close together with shorter tails. To bring out the features of a heart-shaped face, brows should be kept rounded with a slight curve.

Pear-Shaped Face

A pear-shaped face will have a defined jawline that carries as far as the hairline. To accentuate pear-shaped features and to make the bottom of the face seem narrower, brows should be kept longer and arched.
