Grow them out for 2 months: If you want to restart the process of shaping your eyebrows, you got to start at the basics. Grow them out of your old shape. You might look like a crazy woman for a month or two or have that irresistible temptation to pluck them out but please persevere. Once you have a lot on the brow, as haphazard as it looks, is the best time to shape it up to perfection! Growth serums? If you have thin eyebrow hairs, time to grow them out and do the honours. Growth serums are all over the internet and they promise hair growth. But we'll say use coconut oil, rub it in every night and you can see results. Though getting thicker hair completely out of the blue might be a bit of a stretch, you could try to pump it up a little with coconut oil.

Understand your face types and eyebrows: Not everyone is blessed with natural looking great brows but with the right tools you can make your way there. Understand what style or shape will suit your face and won’t look like you have stuck someone else’s eyebrows on yours! So ask your salon lady to not go too much into it and leave it thick and vibrant. More is more! Comb It Down: Natural brows are the name of the game. This helps to create the perfect shape, with just the right amount of softness for a more natural look. After you fill the upper portion, comb brows back into place. Don’t over tweeze: This is something that we all are guilty of. Leave it to the experts to shape your brows or if you are in a hurry – just tweeze stray hair rather than go all adventurous on them! You could however tweeze stray hairs on your own and only lightly, so you know your face shape and have a clear understanding of what you want!

Brow Pencils: These handy little tools allow for precise brow-filling. Most people who want the most control will use a pencil, because of its simplicity and ease of use. Try a pencil that sports a cream to powder formula, which allows for it to glide on easily and efficiently.Use a fine-tipped pencil and do draw in small strokes. Pick the right shade: No, jet black isn’t your shade even if that’s what you feel. Choosing the wrong colour to fill in your brows is another way you can make your brows look "done" in a bad way. If you're having trouble finding the perfect shade, try using two different tones to fill in your brows. Essentially, choose a colour that is one shade lighter than your eyebrow shade to look natural. Filling is the big job: You might have thin brows or thick, filling them in is mandatory. Angled brushes really help in adding depth as you use them to add eyeshadow powder to add opacity. After you draw them in, just use your fingertips and smudge it in so it looks natural. And do keep brushing in as you are filling them in. Brushing is everything: Grooming your brows is everything. How does one do that? Brush them first upwards, it will make your face look lifted. We'll say use these tools to set it in place. Use a brow gel, wax or even clear mascara to make a shape and set it. Use an old mascara wand, wash it and dip it in wax and swipe.
