Eyebrow Shape Guide - Especially for Asian/South Asian women

Eyebrows play a silent but huge role in enhancing your facial features and overall appearance. So I'll strongly recommend to always pay attention when shaping them at home or at the salon.


The general rule implies that you start at the outer corner of your nose like in the picture above. You can gauge the lines using any thin make-up brush (like an eye-shadow brush) or a pencil by holding it straight up from the corner of your nose.


Since most of us aren't blessed with petite noses; this may result in an awkwardly large space between our eyebrows (tried!). The fix is to start along the bridge of your nose, as seen in the picture below.


The technique for the arch and end remains the same.

Trend Alert: Thick & Fuller eyebrows are in trend. I do, however, come across women with extremely thin eyebrows. The reason being that they have grown accustomed to that style and are unsure if thick eyebrows would suit them or not. My dear ladies, worry not for many companies have come out with an "Eye-brow Kit". The kit usually consists of an eyebrow gel, an eyebrow pencil, dark and light shades (beige & brown) and sometimes a shape stencil. You can buy one and use it to draw fuller eyebrows for a try.

Remember, the color of your eyebrows should be somewhat similar to your hair color if not exactly the same.

Product Review: Make Up Academy (MUA) 12 Shade Undressed Palette


A great Urban Decay Naked Palette dupe, this 12 shade palette by MUA is not only affordable (MUA Undressed Palette for PKR 750 - Urban Decay Naked Palette for PKR 7500 - Shut Up!) but also delivers in terms of texture and application.

Being an avid Urban Decay Cosmetics fan, this product has certainly got what it takes to be in my good books.

Point: The shimmery shades are more pigmented and goes on smoother comparative to the matte shades.

Nonetheless, with a price difference like that, it surely deserves to be in your vanity.

Peace & Love!
