Your redhead eyebrows frame your face and your eyes, which means they can make or break your look. Recently, there’s been more emphasis on fuller brows. With this comes many questions about the “perfect brow shape.” Brows are usually defined by their arch and tail. Higher arches can lift the face, giving a feminine look, while flat, low arches can provide a more androgynous look. Soft arches can be more subtle and sweet, while high arches appear more sharp and defined. The “perfect” brow shape depends on your face and style. A TikTok filter that supposedly shows your “perfect” brow shape is floating around. The filter maps out where your brow should start and end and how high the arch should be. So, can you reshape your brows to achieve the look that flatters your face best?
Reshaping one’s brows can be simple if you have fuller brows. It can take a little more work if you have spares, over-plucked, or thin brows. Luckily for redheads, we typically have brows that are light in color, which makes them even more accessible to manipulate into the shape we want. Brows can be reshaped with hair removal or makeup.
Let’s take a look into some ways you can reshape your brows:
Reshaping with hair removal
When you reshape a brow with hair removal, you map out the area where you want the brow to be and then clean up everything around it. Keeping your eyebrows plucked or waxed in this same shape continuously will discourage new growth in the areas you are removing hair, and over time, your brow will start to follow that path naturally. If your brow hairs are sparse or do not want to grow, you can use eyebrow serums, get eyebrow tattoos, or even have an eyebrow transplant.
Here are some more ways:
1. Tweezing: Plucking individual hairs to achieve a more defined shape.
2. Waxing: Removing larger areas of unwanted hair quickly for a more precise shape.
3. Threading: Using a thread to remove hair and create a clean, defined shape.
4. Trimming: Cutting longer hairs to create a more uniform look.
5. Microblading: A semi-permanent tattoo technique that creates hair-like strokes to fill in or reshape brows.
Each method has its benefits and can be chosen based on personal preference and the specific brow shape desired.
Reshaping with makeup
Combining hair removal and makeup is a much easier and more effective way to reshape your eyebrows. First, you want to get your brows closer to your desired shape. Then, fill in sparse areas, define the edges, and add volume with brow makeup. Products like Finally Have Brows® Tinted Brow Gel can add color and volume to your brows, while using an Ultra Fine Brow Pencil can help fill in your brows and extend the tail. Working in hair-like strokes, you can use these products to help reshape the brow. It won’t be permanent, but it’s perfect for getting your desired shape in just a few moments.
