Mistake No. 1: Misplacing your arch

Streicher explains that many women create an arch in their brows that is too close to the center of their eye, which causes the front of the brows to remain thick and the middle to the ends to be way too thin. She says this gives women a "furrowed brow" look, which isn't ideal.

The fix: First, let your brows grow back in. To speed up that process, Streicher recommends using an all-natural hair growth product like Lash Allure MD Lash and Brow Enhancing Serum, $49.50. Then the next time you tweeze, grab a pencil and hold it parallel to the outer edge of your iris. The point where the pencil hits your brow is where your arch should be.

Please DO NOT get your eyebrows done at Bosley Medical. I had hair implanted in my eyebrow region. It does not look natural at all. I lost all my natural brow hair shortly after the implants. The hairs stand up and grow in different directions. I watched the show on Tyra and felt confident Bosley would do a good job...I was so wrong.

I am totally guilty of tweezing too much and using a magnifying mirror :(

I used to tweeze my brows almost every day, now I do it every two weeks or so and my brows look so much better.

rub castor oil over your brows and lashes to increase and thinking hair growth! The results aren't dramatic like Lattise, but I've done this before and it works!
