As mentioned earlier, keeping your natural brow shape is important for this look. To prep for your eyebrow shaping, start with the inner edge of your brows: It should be aligned to the side of the corresponding nostril — imagine a straight line connecting the two as your guide.
Your arch's highest point should be lined up with the outer edge of your eyeball. As for the tail, it should be aligned to the imaginary line connecting the side of the nostril and the outer edge of your eye. Lightly trace the baseline of your brows to help guide you.

Start with a brow kit
Prep your brows with an eyebrow shaping kit, such as the Too Faced Brow Envy, $39. Since it has two shades, you can either choose one or mix them to get a customized color. If you're just starting out with brows, a kit like this can really come in handy, since it also comes with tweezers, spoolie and a brush that can help you shape and define your brows.
Before filling in your brows, it's important to know its natural stroke and gaps. Using a brow spoolie, brush your eyebrows upward in a feathered motion. This will show you where the bald spots are which should be filled in in the next step. It will also show you the natural direction of your brows which is how you should be drawing your strokes.

Draw your hair strokes
Now that you know the areas to fill in, lightly draw hair stroke in a feathered motion. It's important to use precision to get the right brow direction. Use small, upward motions and keep your hand light. Make sure the lines you're drawing are slanted towards the outer edge of your eye. Finally, blend the hair strokes with a spoolie to fade and blend it.
We recommend the Benefit Precisely My Brow Eyebrow Pencil, $24, for the job: It's perfect for drawing fine eyebrow lines and defining the shape of your eyebrows. It's blendable and creates a natural-looking shade, something you need to achieve feathered brows.
