My brows need shaping, but I have no idea how to do that to suit my face. Can you help?

Answer
Beautifully groomed eyebrows can make a huge difference to your appearance. Estée Lauder brow specialist Diana Schofield from the Estée Lauder Brow Bar at Myer, Sydney, says, “The most important rule for achieving the right shaped brows for your face is to imagine three straight lines all starting from the outer edge of your nostril. The first runs past the inner corner of your eye; this is where your brow should start. The second runs past the outer corner of your eye; this is where your brow should finish. The third runs past the outer edge of your pupil; this is the highest point of your arch.”
Try not to dramatically alter the natural shape of your brows and beware of being too tweezer-happy — eyebrow hair is sensitive and repeated plucking can permanently damage the roots. If your eyebrows need more definition, use a brow powder or eyeshadow in a shade that matches the colour of your eyebrows. Apply the powder with a soft wedge-shaped brush or a thin liner brush and begin at the inner corner of your eyebrow and sweep the powder across the brow using feathery strokes. “Another option,” says Diana, “is to see a brow specialist to get the perfect shape and then it’s easier for you to maintain by yourself.”
