We already gave you a simple beauty plan to follow three months to go before your wedding. And now, we are saying, pay attention to the tiny details - the right lipstick maybe, or the most stylish hairdo or maybe, a simple plan to get your brows into proper shape a la Cara Delevingne. What? Eyebrows are super important too, along with the mandap decor and your honeymoon plans. A good pair of eyebrows might not be on your top priority, but badly done ones can really make you look like someone from the Addams family in photographs. Do you want to risk that? NO! So, gear up and shape them up to picture perfection with our big brow plan.

1. Stop shaping, tweezing, waxing or threading your eyebrows 6 months before your wedding Let them grow wild. Yes, you will be made fun of - but remember, you need to let it go because you need enough time to shape it and revise its look. If you already had a thin shape, then it will grow it making it look lush. If it's really thick, then you can grow it out to see what other shape you can take it to in the coming weeks. 2. How to plan the shape Simple, once it's all grown out - choose a few celeb pictures that really make an impact. Eyebrow buddies that you think you can copy from. Then go with a plan to your parlour lady. Ask her which shape suits your face and start with minute changes - every three weeks, go for a sitting and ask her to develop on it. In the last week of your wedding, just finish it up so it looks perfect! Remember, this is a work in progress so don't think you can tame untamed eyebrows in one sweep just before the wedding. Doesn't work like that!Products to Buy: Tweezerman Tweezer Pink Perfection; Smashbox Brow Tech to Go
3. Never thread or wax a day or two before your wedding Sure, tweeze the extras but that's it. Never ever thread or wax anything before a day or two because the sensitive area around your eyes can erupt or you can catch an infection. A week before gives you time to do something about it with medication and caution. So always stick to a week before the wedding plan. 4. To get healthy brows, take Biotin and drink lots of water Yes, yes it makes them grow and keeps them in check! When you are doing a peel, laser or a face pack - just be careful about it touching your brows. If you apply makeup regularly, take a gel and clean your brows properly every night so they stay lush and healthy.Products to Buy: Urban Decay Brow Box; The Balm Brow Pow Eyebrow Powder
5. Pick up good brow products for the D-day The right products can make a big difference. If you just need to keep your brows in place and remove brow frizz and wonky hairs - go for a good brow gel. If you want to make your eyebrows look like they need to be in a specific shape - apply a bit of powder and lo, it's done. If you also want to correct bald spots or scars, then choose a pencil that comes closest to your hair colour and use it to fill up gaps. Also, make sure any brow product you use, it's waterproof. 6. Let your natural shape flow If you have sparse hair, then opt for a feathered end sweep. If you have thick ones, then make sure you do the big bold thing. If you have super sleek thin ones, then keep it polished and elegant with a straight arch. Don't try to copy someone's look without understanding your own brow hair.Products to Buy: Konad Auto Style Eyebrow, Inglot Brow-shaping Pencil
7. How to pamper brows to happiness Every night, do these three things. Rub castor oil on your brows so they keep growing. Try applying fresh onion juice on your brows because they amount of sulfur which helps increase circulation and helps growth too. Vaseline keeps stray hairs at bay and use coconut oil and Aloe vera alternatively every night for a soothing experience! 8. Tint your brows Tinting is a great way to fill in any gaps or spaces you have in your brow line. If you use a tint that is closer to your real hair colour, then it creates an illusion of fuller and bolder brows.Products to Buy: Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow Volumizing Fiber Gel; Shiseido Full Lash & Brow Serum
