What are the best practices for eyebrow mapping?

Eyebrow mapping is a 3-step technique to identify your ideal brow shape to compliment your face. Each step in the process will identify key points of the brow about your face. This may seem tricky, but we’ve simplified it into just 3 steps to map perfect brows that beauty gurus have been using for years!

Map the spot to start your inner brow

Do this by following straight up from the dimple of your nose, past the inner corner of your eye. When you get to your brow, mark a point identifying the starting point.

Locating the arch in your brow

While looking straight forward, measure a diagonal line from the outer edge of your nose, across the middle of your pupil, and to the highest point in your brow. Mark the point in your brow to identify the natural arch of your brow. This spot is unique to your face and will act to frame your face.

Map the end of your brow

Lastly, measure a line from the edge of your nose, past the outer edge of your eye, and mark the ending point in your brow. These three marks will come together to create perfectly mapped brows to compliment your natural beauty every time.

What are the best practices for eyebrow shaping?

Before your appointment, you should avoid drinking coffee or alcohol. These things can cause excessive bleeding which can cause visibility issues when shaping.

Another key point is to avoid tweezing or waxing your brows before your appointment, this will allow for a design to compliment your natural hair growth. Keeping your brows as full and natural as possible will help with eyebrow mapping, and create a complementary shape.
