Enhancing Brows

Before you start to fill the brows, you may need to know where to start to apply colors and where the outlines of the brows are.

• Start - The start of the brows is normally at the inner most side of the eye. If a straight line is drawn from the inner corner of the eye directly up, that's where the eyebrow should normally start.
  
• Arch - The arches of the brows are on the intersection of the brows and straight lines that cross the sides of the nose and the pupils. You may mark points with dots here.
  
• End - The ends of the brows are on the intersections of the brows and straight lines that cross between the sides of the nose and the outer corner of the eyes. You may mark angled dash lines along the brows to determine the ends of the brows.
  
• After the three marks are determined, you may then fill in the blanks between the marks to make fuller brows.
