What you need
Steps
Wash your face and hands, then pat your brows dry. Set up a mirror near a window or lamp so you can see every fine hair clearly.
Brush your brow hairs upward with a spoolie so the natural shape and any long hairs show. Look straight ahead in the mirror.
Map three points with a brow pencil: the inner edge above the corner of your nose, the highest point of the arch, and the tail.
Trim only the long hairs that stick out above your brow line with small scissors. Cut a little at a time, never a big chunk.
Hold the razor at a slight angle and shave the fine hairs under your brow bone in short strokes, following the hair growth direction.
Clean the space between your brows with short downward strokes, stopping at the mapped inner edge on each side.
Remove stray hairs above the brow with light strokes. Step back and check both brows at eye level before going further.
Wipe the area with a cold damp cotton pad, then pat on a thin layer of moisturiser or aloe vera gel to calm the skin.
Tips and common mistakes
Use a sharp, clean razor and rinse it after each use, since a dull or damaged blade can nick the skin.
Shave in the direction the hair grows and keep the blade away from your eyelids and lash line.
Stop at the first sign of redness or stinging and let the skin rest for a day.
Shave less than you think you need, because it is easier to remove more hair than to grow it back.
Questions
How often should I shape my brows with a razor?
Most people tidy the area every one to two weeks as new hairs appear. Go slower if your skin is sensitive and skip a week if it looks irritated.
Will shaving make my eyebrow hair grow back thicker?
No. Shaving cuts hair at the surface and does not change its thickness, colour or growth speed. The blunt edge can just feel rougher for a few days.
What if I shave too much off one brow?
Leave it alone and let the hair grow for a few weeks. In the meantime, fill the gap with a brow pencil or powder that matches your hair colour.
