1. Brush brows upward. Carefully trim any excess hair above the top of your  natural arch. Be careful not to take off too much at the ends or you’ll have  brow “bald” spots.

2. Look closely at the shape. Your brow should begin at your tear duct, peak at the outer edge of your iris and end at the outer corner of your eye. “Many women make the mistake of taking off too much at the outer corners,” says Weston. “This slants the brows upward and makes the person look perpetually angry.”

3. Prep your skin: Soak a cotton ball in astringent and wipe the brow area.

4. Hold a pencil in line with the outer side of your iris and note where the  peak of your arch naturally occurs. From the arch to the outer corner of the
eye, your brow should fall in a straight or slightly curved line, depending on the look you’re trying to achieve.

5. Hold the tweezers at a 45 degree angle and pluck the stray hairs below the  brow line. “Pull in the direction of the hair growth, or you may end up  reaking the hair mid-shaft,” says Engle. Follow your natural brow shape, not  the trends. “It’s very difficult to let your brows grow back into their natural shape after you’ve plucked them to death trying to achieve a particular look,” she says.

6. Fill in sparse areas with a freshly sharpened brow pencil - be a bombshell; use light, quick strokes to draw in hair. Brow powder will give thin brows overall definition, and is great for a more natural look. Using the brow brush, sweep powder up and outward over brows. If you’re a brow novice, a tinted brow gel is a foolproof way to keep brows in place. Lightly coat brows using upward and outward strokes. Wipe off any excess and allow it to set.

Thin Tip: Good for grasping small, fine hairs, and plucking ingrown hair.
Slanted Tip: Gives maximum control.
Square Tip: Best used for removing coarse hairs or several hairs at a time.

7. Tweeze under the brow first, plucking in the direction of the growth.
Hint: If your plucking becomes too painful, apply a little anbesol (yes, that pain reliever for teeth also numbs the brows)

8. Using an eyelash comb, comb brows upwards and trim any hairs that extend beyond the natural top or brow bone. Glamorous lashes.

9. After tweezing, soothe the area with cool, wet tea bags.

You might be able to learn to thread your own eyebrows, by staring on other people, but it’s probably more practical either to hire someone who does professional threading or to pluck yours with tweezers yourself.

The thing about threading is that it removes more than one hair at a time, and it takes a particular technique to get the thread to twist in the right direction and to pick up the hairs you want to be rid of and leave behind the ones you want to keep. Besides the difficulty of just learning to thread at all, there’s the added complications of trying to do it working in a mirror. You’ll probably end up with a headache, a poked eye and no eyebrows at all.

Eyebrows are tricky and should only be colored by a professional in a salon. Bleaching eyebrows is risky if you try it alone, because even a single drip, if it falls into your eye, can cause blindness.

If you want to try lightening your eyebrows at home, you might try dabbing them with lemon juice or vinegar and then sitting in the sun. It’s a time-honored way to lighten hair, and if you get lemon juice or vinegar in your eyes, it will sting a little, but you won’t go blind.

Otherwise, see a professional stylist that can apply a bleach paste to your eyebrows to lighten them a few shades. Many women who have dyed their hair color lighter opt to lighten their eyebrows to match. Overall, having your eyebrow color complement your hair color (natural or dyed) will give you a more natural appearance.
