Get Your Best Brows – 5 Common Eyebrow Mistakes

Date :July 17, 2024, Henna Brows International

Eyebrows play a significant role in framing your face and enhancing your features. However, achieving the perfect brow can be tricky. We have all been guilty of DIY trends over the years from the over-plucking of the brows in the late 1990s / early 2000s to the harsh looking initial Brow Lamination process. 

At Henna Brows International we do recommend going to a salon when it comes to maintaining your eyebrows. This will ensure that a professional who is trained and skilled in brow mapping, shaping, and colour matching will make you look and feel your absolute best. 

Here are some common mistakes people make with their eyebrows and tips on how to avoid them. 

Over-Plucking

Mistake: Over-plucking can lead to thin, sparse eyebrows that take a long time to grow back, if at all.

Solution

. Tweeze sparingly and focus on removing only stray hairs

. Use a brow pencil to outline the shape you want, and only tweeze outside this area

. Consider professional shaping if you are unsure. 

Using the Wrong Colour

Mistake: Using a brow product that’s too dark or too light can create an unnatural look. 

Solution

. Choose a colour that matches your natural brow hair

. For a more natural look, select a shade slightly lighter than your hair colour if you have dark hair, and slightly darker if you have light hair

. Test different products to find the right match

Neglecting the Natural Shape

Mistake: Trying to force your eyebrows into a shape that doesn’t compliment your natural arch can look awkward

Solution

. Follow your natural brow shape and enhance it rather than trying to completely change it. 

. Use small, light strokes to fill in brows, maintaining their natural structure

Neglecting Maintenance

Mistake:  Failing to groom and maintain your eyebrows regularly can lead to an untidy and unkempt appearance

Solution

. Regularly tweeze stray hairs to maintain your desired shape

. Trim any excessively long brow hairs with small, sharp scissors to keep them looking neat

. Brush your eyebrows daily to keep them tidy and in place

Heavy Applications of Products

Mistake: Applying too much product can make your eyebrows look harsh and unnatural

Solution

. Apply brow products with a light hand and build up the colour gradually

. Use a spoolie brush to blend and soften the product for a more natural look.
