I certainly never thought my brows would have much say in the matter. But after I left my appointment with Streicher, my face did look brighter\u2014especially my eyes, which appeared bluer, wider, and more lifted, sans concealer. What was this sorcery?<\/p>\n<p>I followed up with Streicher, and it turns out, a few simple tweaks can transform your whole appearance\u2014for better or worse. Here, she explains how to map your brows to create an open, refreshed eye area.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\/$--><\/div>\n<div id=\"\"><!--$--><\/p>\n<div end=\"false\" class=\"sc-11rlt5o-4 dblBVm\">\n<p>Before I go on, let me just say that brow grooming is not a one-size-fits-all venture. Everyone has a different <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/articles\/eyebrow-shapes-explained\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"mbg-track-event\" data-track-event-types=\"click\" data-track-type=\"article-link\" data-track-prop-element-id=\"in-body-link\" data-track-prop-label=\"page_type | element_id\" data-track-prop-category=\"Link\" data-track-prop-link=\"https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/articles\/eyebrow-shapes-explained\" rel=\"noopener\">brow shape<\/a> based on their bone structure, hair density, and texture, and you should always groom those framers with respect to their natural form.<\/p>\n<p>Streicher wholeheartedly agrees: \u201cI truly believe that everyone looks best with what they\u2019re born with,\u201d she notes. \u201cDiscovering your individual and natural shape as well as where your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/articles\/how-to-shape-eyebrows\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"mbg-track-event\" data-track-event-types=\"click\" data-track-type=\"article-link\" data-track-prop-element-id=\"in-body-link\" data-track-prop-label=\"page_type | element_id\" data-track-prop-category=\"Link\" data-track-prop-link=\"https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/articles\/how-to-shape-eyebrows\" rel=\"noopener\">eyebrows should start, arch, and end<\/a> is a valuable tool.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now that being said, Streicher does have a universal tip to find where your own brows should start, arch, and end: use the parallel lid line. \u201cThis is a line that extends from the beginning or front of the brow and continues across the lid and ends at the tail of the brow,\u201d she explains. You could even take a thin makeup brush and hold it right above your top lid for a clearer visual.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\/$--><\/div>\n<div id=\"\"><!--$--><\/p>\n<div end=\"false\" class=\"sc-11rlt5o-4 dblBVm\">\n<p>Any hairs that extend past this line, she says, should be removed. For example, let\u2019s say you have some stray hairs towards the front of the brow that causes it to slant downwards towards the bridge of the nose (this is the scenario I was dealing with). \u201cThis can close out the eye and result in a scowling appearance,\u201d says Streicher. It also creates a shadow at the inner corners that can accentuate dark circles.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, you may have downward hairs near the tails of the brows. \u201cWhen the tail of the eyebrow is groomed in a downward direction, it can draw the eyes down and give the face a droopy and aging appearance,\u201d says Streicher.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I personally have very gappy tails (what Streicher calls truncated \u201cshort\u201d brows), so I\u2019ll fill in these missing hairs with her <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=100028X1555662&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=AR-BE-browsdarkcirclesjschneider1023-Jamie%20Schneider&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Ftheksandco.com%2Fcollections%2Fall%2Fproducts%2Fmicrofeathering-brow-pen\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"mbg-track-event\" data-track-event-types=\"click\" data-track-type=\"article-link\" data-track-prop-element-id=\"in-body-link\" data-track-prop-label=\"page_type | element_id\" data-track-prop-category=\"Link\" data-track-prop-link=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=100028X1555662&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=AR-BE-browsdarkcirclesjschneider1023-Jamie%20Schneider&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Ftheksandco.com%2Fcollections%2Fall%2Fproducts%2Fmicrofeathering-brow-pen\" rel=\"noopener\">KS&amp;CO Microfeathering Brow Pen<\/a>, making sure not to extend past the parallel lid line. Even a few hairs that fall outside of this line can make a significant difference.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That being said, \u201cKeep in mind this may be only a few hairs,\u201d Streicher adds. \u201cStart by slowly plucking one or two hairs, then step back for perspective before continuing.\u201d Please, don\u2019t over pluck! Take it slow, or better yet, opt for a professional grooming session if you can swing it.
