1. Blindly following trends and drastically altering your brow shape
Completely sacrificing your natural brow shape to follow trends—whether by plucking or shaving—goes against the natural form of your brows and the position of your brow bone.In reality, naturally growing eyebrows complement your facial structure and bone structure—especially the brow head, arch, and brow bone. Over-altering or over-shaping can result in an awkward, mismatched look that doesn't suit your face at all.
2. The "Clumsy Hands" Solution: Relying on Eyebrow Stencils
Worried about botching DIY eyebrow grooming? Ready-made stencils seem like the answer? But remember: every face is unique, and eyebrow shapes must be tailored to your facial structure. Eyebrows trimmed using a fixed stencil template may look odd on your face.
3. Starting from the top of the eyebrow
This is a common habit for many, but the correct approach is to start from the bottom. Beginning at the top can distort the natural shape, while starting from the bottom allows for more precise adjustments.
4. Virgo perfectionism: Both sides must be identical
This seems a common Virgo mistake. Eyebrows are sisters, not twins. Each side may differ in shape and growth direction. When trimming, aim for general harmony and balance. Otherwise, obsessing over perfect symmetry will only lead to increasingly thin and sparse brows.
5. Loving to lie down for eyebrow shaping
Do you enjoy lying down at the salon while the aesthetician shapes your brows? While this method seems relaxing, lying down causes facial muscles to shift and distort. This prevents your brow shape and facial structure from appearing in their natural state, potentially resulting in an unsuitable brow shape. Next time, opt to sit up during your eyebrow shaping session.
