K, this might seem obvious for some people, but let me just quickly remind you: One of the easiest ways to get the best brows of your life is by leaving them alone (!!!). Yes, tweezers are excellent for getting rid of rogue hairs here and there, but they aren't your best option for shaping your brows (more on that in a bit).

"Try to tweeze pretty far away from your eyebrow—you don't want to do any actual shaping, so just grab hairs that are out of place or further away from your brow line," Umbreen Sheikh, founder and CEO of Wink Brow Bar, has told Cosmo. The Tl;dr: Over-plucking is basically a given when you pull out your tweezers, so use them with caution, alright?

2. Find the right eyebrow products

There are so many options when it comes to eyebrow products, which is why it's super important to make sure you're using the right one. First: Think about your brow goals. Are you trying to fill in sparse spots and add definition? Grab a brow powder and an angled brush. Are you trying to lightly shape and comb your hairs? Swipe on a lightweight brow gel. Not sure WTF you want or need? Don't be afraid to play around and cocktail a few products—there's no right or wrong, so just focus on finding the best product for you.

3. Consider eyebrow threading

IMHO, threading is the best method for enhancing and defining your natural brow shape. Unlike waxing, which is great for targeting large areas of skin (like your legs or bikini line), threading is ultra precise. "Threading is basically when we take a twisted thread and use it to gently pull the hair from the follicle, which means it can remove hairs that are too short or fine to be waxed," she says. "And since threading puts pressure on top of your skin, it can even push hairs up from underneath the surface to grab and remove." BTW: Threading does require some serious skill, so it's always a good idea to see a professional before you try DIYing it.
