Find
your ideal arch If you haven't given a second thought to your brows lately,
it's time to think again. Well-shaped brows can accentuate good bone structure,
flatter different eye shapes and even take years off your face. While popular
brow silhouettes may come and go (think Brooke Shields in the '80s or Madonna
in the '90s) a classically arched, well-groomed brow (not pencil thin or penciled
in) is still the most flattering. For inspiration turn to the screen goddesses
of days gone by: Think Elizabeth Taylor circa 1960, Vivienne Leigh and Ingrid
Bergman. These bombshells understood the power of the brow and used it to shape
their faces (and careers).  Shape
Up
First step, determine the shape of your face, and the best look for
you will follow. There are six basic face shapes: oval, round, long, square, heart
and diamond. To determine what yours is, pull hair back and search for certain
defining characteristics. For example, a forehead that is wider than the chin
distinguishes an Oval face; a Round face is usually almost as wide as it is long
and widest at the cheeks.
Mapping a New Look
It's been said
that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Eyebrowz.com
takes this theory to the next level, offering up over 75 eyebrow stencils inspired
by the superstar shapes you love. Is your face Round like Gwyneth Paltrow? You'll
easily emulate the thin width and low arch of her brow with the Gwynnie inspired
Eyebrowz Stencil Kit. Need a lift? Get Demi's look- the medium arch and thick
width of her brows provide an instant face-lift. Other celebrity offerings include
Denise Richards, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Salma Hayek, Tyra Banks and dozens more.
 Finish what
you start
Many people know that a well groomed brow should begin but they
completely neglect where the brow ends. Use your fingers to form a triangle along
the edge of your nose and the inner corner of eye - that's your starting point.
To find you photo finish, place fingers diagonally from the edge of nose to the
outer corner of the eye. Your eyebrows should end where to the tip of your finger
ends.
Seek professional help
There is a reason that celebs
such as J Lo and Madonna pay literally thousands of dollars to have their brows
shaped by the country's best. Some things are better left to a professional. Keep
in mind that even an occasional visit to an arch artisan can keep you on track.
You can maintain your look between visits with a little basic maintenance. A
