Brow Mapping 101: The Ultimate Guide to Perfectly Shaped Brows
Brows are an essential
part of our facial features, and they can make or break your entire look. However, not everyone is blessed with thick and shapely brows, and some of us may have over-tweezed them in the past. But fret not, for there is a solution to our brow problems- brow mapping. You may be wondering, what is brow mapping? In this post, I will explain what brow mapping is and how you can do it yourself at home to get that perfect arch.
Firstly, let’s talk about what brow mapping is. Brow mapping is a technique that stylists use to create symmetry in the eyebrows, by mapping out the ideal shape of your brows to suit your face shape. This is done by measuring certain points on your face, such as the beginning, arch, and end of your eyebrow, to create a guideline for the perfect brow shape. This technique is crucial in achieving the perfect arch, and it can make your brows look fuller and more defined.
Now, let's get into the DIY brow mapping guide. Here's how to do it.
1. Start by getting a ruler or a straight object like a pencil and measure the beginning, arch, and end points of your eyebrows. For the starting point, line it up with the side of your nose and the inner corner of your eye. For the arch point, measure from the side of your nose through the center of your eye. Lastly, measure from the side of your nose to the outer corner of your eye for your end point.
2. Use a brow pencil or a brow powder to lightly outline the brow shape that suits your face using the guidelines. Remember to use small, light strokes to mimic the natural hairs, and to fill in any sparse patches to create a fuller look.
3. Use a spoolie brush to blend the pencil marks and soften them for a more natural look.
4. Finally, set the hairs in place using a clear brow gel, like the one in my brow kit or a tinted one for added definition.
While you're waiting for your brows to grow back in, there are ways to build fuller looking brows. Here are the products that I would use:
1. A brow serum or oil to encourage growth and nourish the follicles.
2. A brow gel with fibers that cling to the hairs, creating a fuller look.
3. A brow pencil to fill in any sparse areas and create a more defined shape.
4. A brow powder for a softer, more natural look.
Brow mapping is a great solution to achieving your ideal brow shape, and it’s even better when you can do it yourself in the comfort of your own home. By following the DIY brow mapping guide, you can create the perfect arch that suits your face. Remember to be patient with the process, and to use the right products to assist you in achieving fuller looking brows. Now go out there and show off those brows, girl!
