How do you pick a brow shape? I have never plucked/tweezed/waxed my brows before; however, it is time, but I do not know how to choose a shape for my face. How do you know which shape is right for you?

I'd say just go with your natural brow shape. Tweeze only from the underside, and don't go overboard! Dont do one at a time, tweeze a few hairs from one brow, and move to the next and make sure you keep them even.
This page seems to have some helpful tips for selecting a great shape

Also, Anastasia brow products are great! I use the Brow Wiz to fill in my brows. You can find them online or at Sephora.

What she said ^. You don't want to completely change the shape of your brows. Use your brow bone and natural shape to tweeze and make them more defined.

Brow shape is essential to the way your hole face looks. I went to school for hair removal and I was SOOO scared at first to touch anyone's brows! Lol. If you're too nervous you might want to go to a pro to actually shape them for the first time and then you can just keep up with them.:) but make sure you go to a reputable person, because there are some terrible brow people in salon's. I wouldn't recommend an actual salon where the hair stylists do it, because when they go through school, they hardly get training in it and some of them should just stick to the hair on top of people's heads haha. Go to a place like Merle Norman that specializes in stuff like that.:) hope this helped!

I usually use a brush and lay it at the outer corner of my mouth. Line it up with the inner corner of your eye (tearduct) and that's how far in you should pluck. For the outer part of the brow, lay the brush so it hits the outer corner of your eye. That should approximately be the right shape/size. I hope that helps!

I went to the benefit brow bar in ulta to get my brows done recently and they did an awesome job and while it was 20 bucks plus a tip for the wonderful girl...i think it was worth it because once they shape it for you as long as you keep up with your tweezing the stray hairs that come then you shouldn't have to go that often.

I think you should go to an aesthetician for your very first time, unless you feel very confident on doing it on your own. It really doesn't cost that much, I paid 15$. And then, you can maintain your eyebrows yourself. But for the shaping, I really suggest that.
If not, check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UK1LfRjCkEY&feature=channel_video_title
It's really a brow 101. :)

I'm with Katie, I too went to a shop that specifically did brows even though I have been doing my own for years I wanted a change and they did an awesome job! so now I just maintain.

Definitely use the method from that pic above as a guideline! I have completely butchered my natural brows so I maintain them myself with a noxema eyebrow razor & MAC spiked brow pencil. Just always remember to keep the ends tapered & the front corners natural!

You could try stencils. I have the Anastasia kit from sephora which includes stencils/tweezers/gel and other brow tools with a dvd to guide you. You can buy the stencils by themselves which are like 20. Ive tried a few stencils and these are probably the best ones you can find.

It would be best to stick with your natural brow shape just to avoid making any mistakes. If you are shaping your brows yourself, just pluck out the stray hairs. You could also get them professionally done for your first time and from then on, maintain them yourself which would give you a guideline on how to keep them shaped from them on.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions guys!!! I will probably go to someone who knows what they are doing the first time, then maintain after that.
Do you suggest plucking or waxing when I finally do it myself? I noticed that most places that do brows use wax; however, at home most people pluck. Is that because the setup for waxing is a pain? Which way gets rid of hair the longest? I am not that into pain, so I would prefer to do this as infrequently as possible.

Personally, I've never gotten by eye brows waxed. The first time getting them plucked sucked (I didn't mean to rhyme that!) but now, I just pluck every once in a while and I usually only have to pluck a few hairs here and there. The nice thing about plucking is that I can just do it when ever I notice a hair. I feel like with waxing you have to wait until you have enough stray hairs to make it worth it and then you have strays every where when you could have just dealt with it. Also, I think plucking is a lot cheaper. You just buy one pair of tweezers (the pointed ones work the best) and then you're good to go as long as you don't loose them. With waxing you either pay to get them waxed or you have to buy the wax.
