When it comes to beauty and your eyebrows, trends come and go. However, there are some timeless principles when it comes to brow design that will help you create and maintain a more natural look. So, I’ve put together a list of some of my best tips for you.

Six timeless brow design principles for more natural-looking eyebrows you’ll adore!

Principle #1 – Fabulous brows aren’t always perfect

A common misconception when it comes to brow design is that your eyebrows need to be absolutely perfect and symmetrical. However, little variances will give your eyebrows a much more natural look.

Principle #2 – A word about thickness and length

The length from the inner edge of your eyebrow to the arch should be roughly the same as the length from the arch to the end of your brow. Try to maintain uniform thickness from the inner start-up of your brow to the arch, then taper thinner towards the outer end. This will create a balanced look that extends and opens the eyes.

Principle #3 – Start low, end high

The ending tip of the brow should never drop below the level of the beginning of the brow. They should either sit on the same horizon line or the ending tip slightly higher, but never lower.

Principle #4 – Consider the distance between your eyes

If your eyes are a little further apart, start your brows a little closer together. If your eyes are a little closer together, start brows slightly farther apart. It’s all about balance!

Principle #5 – Tweeze in the direction of growth

A common eyebrow mistake is to tweeze in the wrong direction. Begin tweezing from the outside in. Pull the skin taut to ease discomfort and tweeze hair in swift motions. Always tweeze in the direction of growth.

Principle #6 – Step back a little when marvelling at your brow design in the mirror

Step back from your mirror and check progress from a distance. When you look at your brows close up for too long, it can distort your perception. Look at your brows from a natural distance. Avoid a magnifying mirror if possible, as it makes the hairs look much larger and encourage over-tweezing.
