At VRAI, we believe brows are the frame of the face. Perfectly shaped brows can elevate your entire look, adding a touch of definition and effortless elegance. But where do you begin?

Here's your guide to unlocking the secrets of brow shaping and discovering your perfect arch:

𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬:

• 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬: Invest in a good quality magnifying mirror for precise brow shaping. This allows you to see every subtle detail for a flawless finish.

• 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧: Opt for a brow pencil with a fine tip, allowing you to mimic the look of natural brow hairs. VRAI's Brow Definer is a perfect choice!

• 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐥: Every brow shaping kit needs a spoolie brush. This versatile tool helps groom brows, blend product, and create a natural, diffused effect. (The VRAI brush set for eyes includes a grooming spoolie and will release later this fall) 

𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐞:

• 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨: There's a science to brow shaping! Imagine a straight line from the outer corner of your nose to the inner corner of your eye. Where this line intersects your brow is the ideal starting point.

• 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Extend that same line from the outer corner of your nose through your pupil. The point where it crosses your brow bone is the ideal location for your arch.

• 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐚𝐢𝐥: Finally, extend the line from your nose's outer corner to the outer corner of your eye. The point where it meets your brow is the natural ending point for your brow.

𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞:

• 𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞: Start by gently sketching your desired brow shape with short, feathery strokes. Remember, it's easier to add more color than remove it.  Start first with focusing on capturing current brow hairs as this may be the desired definition you are looking for  You can always go back and apply to the skin beneath the hairs for deeper definition or shape.

• 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐞: Use the spoolie brush to blend and soften the lines, creating a natural, diffused effect. This ensures your brows appear natural, not drawn-on.

• 𝐓𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Start with first focusing on capturing current brow hairs as this may be the desired definition you are looking to achieve.  For a more defined look, use the tip of your brow pencil to fill in any sparse areas or refine the shape further by focusing on the skin beneath or around the brow to deepen the definition and shape.

• 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐀𝐬𝐲𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐲: Brows are rarely perfectly symmetrical. Don't stress! Focus on creating brows that flatter your overall face shape.
