Pretty eyes are showcased by perfectly shaped eyebrows. If the thought of hot wax makes you cringe and tweezers are just too much trouble, then it is important to know how to shave your eyebrows correctly. The following steps detail how to shave your eyebrows to showcase your eyes.

1.  Begin by washing your face and removing all the dead skin. By exfoliating before you begin shaving your eyebrows, you will ensure a closer shave and prevent any unsightly nicks.


2. Use an eyebrow pencil to mark where you want your eyebrows to begin and end. The start of your eyebrow is the part closest to your nose and the end of your eyebrow line is closest to your temples. If you're not sure how to outline your eyebrows, use the pencil as a guide by placing it against your nose. Where the pencil touches your eyebrow, is the start of your natural brow line. Now turn your pencil diagonally and touch the side of your eye to find the natural end of your eyebrow line.


3. Use a new, sharp razor to shave away unwanted hairs outside of the natural line that you have just determined. To create the arch, remember that a good arch starts at about a centimeter at the beginning of your brow and ends in a thinner tail.

For men, shaving your eyebrows can be intimidating and an eyebrow pencil just does not seem like something you would use. Consider that well trimmed eyebrows are a sign of good grooming and will help you make the right impression. Use a scissor to trim the eyebrows carefully and neatly. You will know you have reached the right length when you eye brows lie flat and the wild hairs have been tamed.

While shaving your eyebrows does not have the long term effects of waxing or tweezing, it is relatively painless and you can do your own touch-ups at home without the expensive salon costs.
