About: Hi! I'm a slightly feral mountain hermit that likes to be helpful. I do community management at Instructables & Tinkercad. 🙌 Want to hear me chat about making? Search "CLAMP Podcast" on YouTube or your favorit…

I don't do too much beauty routine-wise, but I do try to make sure my eyebrows stay in good shape. Since I've been in the process of moving for the last couple weeks, they got pretty out of control! I figure this is as good of a time as any to share how to trim them easily. :D

Trimming your eyebrows is great way to make your face look awesome. It really makes a huge difference!

Step 1: What You'll Need:

  • old mascara wand or eyebrow brush
  • small sharp scissors
  • a makeup brush

The makeup brush is optional but will allow you to brush all the tiny stray hairs from your face. :)

Step 2: Brush Your Eyebrows Up

Use the eyebrow brush to sweep the hair up in small sections. Use the scissors to cut whatever hair extends past the top of your brow line. I start near my nose and work my way out - that seems to give the nicest cut

Step 3: Brush Your Eyebrows Down and Then Clean Up

Above: whoops, missed a couple hairs!

Once your brows are nicely trimmed, double check that you didn't miss anything by brushing your brows straight down. This will let you trim any long stray hairs! Trim anything that sticks out past the natural bottom edge of your brow.

Just be very careful doing this step - this is where you can accidentally cut a chunk or your eyebrow out!

Once you're done, lightly go over your face with the makeup brush to remove the cut hair!

Enjoy! You now have fantastic brows. :D
