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.

Microblading, which originated in Asia, is perfect for women with thin or thinning brows, discoloration and especially for those that have gone through chemotherapy. "No hair is removed, save for minor trimming, and the technique only enhances the eyebrow shape, thickness and color desired," says Cindy Choe, brow specialist and owner of Cindy Choe Studio in Beverly Hills. "Thicker, dark sumptuous brows can be achieved without the hassle of pencils and a drawer full of powders."

The method uses thousands of dots of custom blended, hypoallergenic pigment to cover up what's left (if any) of your old brows. "Those with oily skin especially love this service, as makeup tends to wear off on them more quickly," adds Choe.
