An Easy 3-Step Makeup Routine For Timeless, Natural-Looking Brows

Most brow experts will tell you that brow trends are not something to mess around with. Whether it's bleaching your brows, waxing off the tail for a "straight eyebrow" illusion, or plucking them ultrathin, you put your natural shape at risk of permanent damage.

So instead of hopping on whatever bandwagon comes next, learn the timeless, universal brow makeup routine that will simply enhance your natural shape rather than change it. To help you achieve your brow goals, we asked celebrity brow expert Sania Vucetaj for her must-know tips. 

"Begin the process by positioning the brow pencil vertically along the side of the nose to find where the brow should start," Vucetaj explains. If you're using a powder formula, then use your brow brush for reference.

She adds, "This alignment is crucial for creating balance and maintaining the natural look of the brows." So if the head of your brow naturally starts a bit farther out, you may want to lightly bring it inward using brow powder or a pencil. 

Now, it's time to address the arch of the brow. "The arch should ideally be three-quarters of the way back from the start of the brow," Vucetaj explains. This placement ensures the lift of your brow complements your eye shape and overall facial structure.

Some people will easily spot their brow arch, while others may have to accentuate theirs with their brow tool. Either way, try to locate your arch for the following step: "Simply trace the top of the brow, lifting the arch at this designated point," she notes. If your brow looks like a half-moon, then try to make a tiny peak above your arch and soften it to your liking. 

So you found the beginning of your brow, you defined your arch, and now it's time to address the tail. "Align [the pencil] diagonally from the outer corner of the eye," Vucetaj says. Similar to how you may prepare for a winged eyeliner look. 

"This will determine the perfect stopping point for your brow and ensure it doesn't end too short or extend too far," she adds. If your brow ends a bit earlier than you'd like, feel free to extend the tail with your brow pencil.
