Creating arched eyebrows requires a lot of careful manipulation of your hairs and the use of various types of makeup tools. Read on to better understand how to arch your eyebrows in an efficient manner and learn which tools you should use to create these eyebrows quickly and efficiently.



Measure Your Brows
The first step is to use an eyebrow pencil to measure your brows carefully. We think that Shu Uemura Hard Formula H9, $23, is an excellent choice here. This brow pencil is made of the highest quality material and has been tested to be an effective tool for working with eyebrows.

Start by holding the sharp end against the bridge of your nose where your brows start. Change the angle of the pencil so that it rests against your nostril and moves past the outer corner of your eyebrows. This area is where you are going to focus on your eyebrows. Figuring out how to arch eyebrows from here is relatively straightforward.



Comb Your Brow Hairs Upward
Style your brows into an arched shape using a brow brush and an appropriate hair serum. We suggest using Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Enhancing Serum Advanced, $38. This serum is designed to create a nice level of moisture in your eyebrows and make them easier to manipulate and style.

Spray this serum on your eyebrows and work it in the hairs carefully with the included brush. This process should take no more than a minute or two. By this time, your brow hairs will be ready to shape. Use a small brow brush to comb your hairs and arch your eyebrows into the desired shape.

You should brush at a 45-degree angle to create perfectly arched eyebrows. Regular application of this spray at the beginning of each day should ensure that your brows hold their shape for an extended period.



Fill in the Brow
Next, use an excellent shaping tool to create a high arch to your eyebrows. The Bobbi Brown Natural Brow Shaper & Hair Touch Up, $26, is a great product. While it costs a bit more than other wands, it is a useful addition to your makeup collection. It can be used for a variety of eyebrow needs, beyond creating arched eyebrows.

Open up your pencil and start filling in your brows to create high arched eyebrows. You should use very short strokes beneath the brow to begin. Move out in the direction of your temple and focus on drawing a rounded and pointed shape. Vary the pressure on your applicator to create darker and lighter tones. Darker tones are appropriate near your nose while lighter strokes should be used as you move away from it.

Finish up by making sure your brows are combed just the way you want them.
