Brow mapping is a technique used to define the shape of the eyebrows based on the natural features of your face. It involves marking key points on the eyebrow using measurements that correspond to the eyes, nose and overall facial structure. These points help determine where the brow should begin, curve and end, creating a balanced and flattering shape for your face.
If you want to try 'brow mapping' at home, there is a simple method to get started. First, take an angled brush and hold it vertically along your nose. This will mark where your eyebrows should start and ensure they are not too close or too far apart. Then angle the brush from the corner of your nose towards the outer corner of your eye. Where the brush meets your brow is where it should end. This will help you map out the length of your eyebrow for a balanced look.
