Before you think about how to make up your eyebrows in pencil, hair removal remains paramount. It is important to find the right eyebrow line according to the shape and morphology of your face, to make your look harmonious. Here's how to proceed :

First, use an eyebrow brush, and brush the bristles in the direction of height. Then cut with a small chisel, all the hairs that protrude.

Then define the inner end of your eyebrow. Imagine a vertical line that connects the base of your nostril to the inner corner of your eye, draw a line at the level of the eyebrows. Everything that sticks out of your line must be waxed. Do the same for the other eyebrow.

Then define the outer end of your eyebrow. Imagine a vertical line that connects the commissure of the lips to the outer corner of the eye. Draw a line at the level of the eyebrow, again everything that protrudes from your line should be waxed. Repeat this step for the other eyebrow.
