Step 1:

Find out how much space is between your brows.
Stand or sit in front of the mirror.
Look straight ahead
Hold a pencil or a ruler, vertically in front of your face.
Line it up so that it touches the side of your nose at the inside of your eye.
This line will determine where your eyebrow starts.
Mark that spot with an eyebrow pencil.
Repeat for the other eye.

Step 2:

Here are some tips:
Angle the ruler in a way that it lines up with the edge of your nose and the outside edge of your pupil at one side.
Wherever the ruler intersects, your brow is where the peak of your arch should begin.
Mark that spot with your eye-brows pencil.
Repeat for the other eye.

This tells you where the eyebrow should end.
Mark this point with your eyebrow pencil.
Repeat with the other eye.

Another thing that is important to know is how much distance should be from the bottom edge of the eyebrows to your eye. This will determine the brow thickness.
Draw a line along the bottom edge of your brow.
Follow the curve or round of your eyebrow.

Step 5:

Pluck the eyebrows hair that fall below the line that you have drawn.

It’s time to pluck the stray hair that falls below the line you have marked. Do it carefully because this is a sensitive area. Before starting plucking your brows, hold your forehead in the upward direction that will tighten your skin and you can easily pluck the stray hair without pain.
Pluck all stray hair below the line.
Pluck the stray hair minimally present above the brow and only remove extra hair.

3. How to remove redness from eyebrows:

Sometimes redness appears around the eyebrows on sensitive skins. The best way to remove redness and to make it normal is to use Calamine lotion or use ice to numb the areas before you tweeze. It will remove the redness and give you a freshening and soothing effect.
