Tip: For a real eye-opener, use an eyelash curler before applying mascara. Curl gently at the base of the lashes, but never beyond the center of the lashes. Don't clamp down on one spot for too long or you'll get a sharp angle.

1. Brush your eyebrows straight up with an eyebrow brush. Using small straight scissors, carefully trim any hairs that are curly or too long. Then brush the brows back into their natural shape.

2. Hold a pencil along the side of your nose to ensure that the inner edge of your brow lines up with the inside corner of your eye.

3. Move the pencil so that it intersects with your iris. The arch of your brow should line up with the pencil.

4. Angle the pencil from the outside edge of your nose to the outer corner of your eye to determine where your brow should end.

5. Tweeze where necessary and fill in with a soft pencil or powder.

6. Brush with an eyebrow brush and apply eyebrow gel to keep
strays in place. You're done!
