How do I create the perfect eyebrows

Ok, first of all you need to do this: measure the length of your eye, now see if the space between your eyes is the same size, smaller or larger than the length of one eye.
Using an eyebrow brush comb your brows in an upwards direction, at the same angle as your brows. If any hair reaches past the top of your natural brow line you should use a small pair of scissors to trim them (DO NOT TRIM SHORTER THAN THE TOP OF YOUR BROW!!). This will instantly improve brow appearance. You can also do the same in a downwards direction.

To get the prefect shape for your face:
Take a pencil and line it with your nostril and tear-duct. Hair past this line is excess.

For even spaced eyes line the pencil from your nostril and looking straight ahead it should pass through your pupil, this is where your arch should be. next align the pencil with the outer corner of your eye, this is where the brow should finish.

For wide eyes (more than one length apart) line the pencil with the outer edge of the colour of your eye (this is the furthest the arch should be) and allow the inner part of your eyebrow to be thicker than the rest of the brow as this make the eyes appear closer. Again line the pencil with the outer corner of your eye.

For narrow eyes: to create the illusion of equal spacing you want to widen the distance, you can achieve this by extending the brow a little further than you would usually have it and have all hair from above the nose to above the tear-duct removed (make sure it still looks soft and natural you don't want to draw attention to the corrective work!). Also having the brows slightly thinner creates the illusion of light.

Next decide on the actual shape of the brow
Arched: suits most face shapes
Angular: helps define rounded faces
Round: suitable for large eyes or wide foreheads.

Next fill in any gaps with a powder or pencil (that matches your shade of hair), using light feathering motions. BLEND!! Set with an eyebrow gel.
To truly make those brows pop then you can also use contorting for extra shape.

I know its long but I hope this helped!

The ideal brow shape itself is different than the ideal brows for you. Try to avoid just getting the perfect brows. It's better to get the brows for what look you're trying to go for.
