Eyebrows provide the frame for your beautiful face. Therefore, they need to look good at all times. Since many of you commented on my past videos asking how I did my eyebrows, I made a video dedicated solely to my best eyebrow tips! From shaping your brows to filling in sparse brows, to making it look like you just had them done, I’ll show you how to get flawless eyebrows:

Tips for Getting Those Killer Brows:

As I already said in the video, and may repeat a few more times throughout the article just for emphasis, I do not condone shaping your own eyebrows. There is a BIG difference between shaping your eyebrows and cleaning them up. As I explain in the video, it is really hard to stop once you start plucking and nothing is more heartbreaking than looking into the mirror and realizing you have three eyebrow hairs left.

That said, here are my top four eyebrow tips, which I discussed in the video:

• Always clean up those little hairs that pop up between shapings, because before you know it, one little hair becomes 10 little hairs.
• Can’t get to the shop before class on Monday? Fake it with concealer.
• A clear brow gel will keep them from budging all day.
• Put down the tweezers and step away from the magnifying mirror.

Tips for Girls with Thin Eyebrows:

I have a personal obsession with eyebrows. My own brows have always been very thick and my mom took me to get them waxed when I was in 8th grade. Ever since then, I’ve been really aware of how eyebrows can completely change your face.
