It's better to err on the side of not doing enough than overdoing it when you're DIYing your brows. "You can always remove more hair later on when you look at your brows again with a fresh eye," says Ramy Gafni, brow expert and founder of Ramy Cosmetics. "As a rule, it's better to keep your brows too close together than too far apart, the tail too long as opposed to too short, and the body of the eyebrow too thick as opposed to too thin."

Eyebrow tinting might seem a little scary to some people — after all, your brows are smack-dab in the middle of your face. What if you don't like the color or if it's too dark? Experts swear by the semi-permanent procedure because, unlike tweezing, waxing or threading, tinting doesn't involve hair removal at all. In fact, its main purpose is to give you an even fuller brow. "Since texture naturally changes throughout eyebrows, the tint picks up and adds definition to the finer hairs," explains Fisher.

And don't worry — it's not permanent. "Eyebrow tint should gradually fade over the course of three weeks," says Fisher. If you're looking to make your tinting last even longer, avoid harsh cleansers or swimming, which can lessen the pigment.

If you're seeing an eyebrow specialist regularly, let them work their magic. Tweezing and plucking intermittently in between appointments will prevent them from being able to do your eyebrows justice. This is because eyebrow hair, much like the hair on your scalp and other areas of your body, grows on a 28-day growth cycle. If you remove certain hairs during the time your brow specialist is expecting them to grow, your hair is no longer on the same growth cycle. "If you both are doing your brows, chances are, you will never end up getting the shape you are looking to achieve," says Fisher. She recommends using a clear brow finish to help hold unruly hairs in place while you allow them to grow out in between visits.

Everyone's brows are shaped differently — that's the beauty of individuality! Even if you're obsessed with Sofia Vergara's brows, it's best not to strive for them unless you share the same natural shape. "Your eyebrows should align with your bone structure," says Gafni. "Otherwise, shaving off your brows from the peak to the tail and trying to create a new angle using makeup will always result in eyebrow disaster." He recommends that your eyebrows peak where your brow bone protrudes the most. "You should approach the art of shaping with the idea of fine-tuning your brows, not with the idea of recreating them entirely," he adds.

To ensure that your brows appear thicker and more prominent, you might think to shade them one or two hues darker but experts say this is a quick way to achieve a universally unflattering look. Instead, reach for a pencil, pomade, brow gel or powder that's one or two shades lighter than your natural color. The same goes for tinting. Of course, if you dramatically change your hair color, from pale blonde to bright red, for example, Gafni says you have more freedom to be creative when tinting your brows — that is, if your objective is to match your new hair color.
