We’ve all made mistakes when it comes to shaping and maintaining our brows. What are the most common mistakes and how can we avoid them? Let’s find out if you are guilty of any of these…  

Mistake #1: One brow colour doesn’t fit all

Choosing your eyebrow shade isn’t as simple as ‘blonde or brunette’. To find out what eyebrow shade is right for you, you should opt for a shade that is one or two shades lighter than your hair colour. If you have lighter parts in your hair, match it to that colour for a more natural finish.

The perfect product to do this is the HD Brow Define Pencil, it comes in 6 shades so you can perfectly match it to any brows.

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.

What is the best eyebrow shape for my face? https://thebeautyschool.co.uk/best-eyebrow-shape-for-my-face/ Tue, 11 Aug 2020 14:27:10 +0000 https://studio55.xyz/?p=10008

Nothing transforms your face like the shape of your eyebrows. With so many trends and styles out there, it’s hard to know where to start. Luckily, we’ve put together a useful guide on how to make your brows look insta-worthy. We’ll take you through finding the best brow shape for your face, the best brow products on the market, and brow mistakes you should avoid. So, let’s delve right in…

Table of contents:

Eyebrows are like fingerprints, everyone’s different. The shape of your brows is determined by various factors, but the main one is the shape of your face. This will determine the starting point of your brows, length, and arch position. Whether you have a round-shaped face or square, we will help you identify which brow shape will best suit you.

Round Face Shape Diagram Woman

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 Face Shape Diagram Woman

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 Face Diagram Woman

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 Face Shape Diagram Woman

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.

Oblong Face Shape Diagram Woman

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 Face Shape Diagram Woman

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.
