Frequently asked questions

How can I shape my eyebrows at home without threading?

Use product to define the shape and only lightly tidy strays; a stencil gives a defined shape with no hair removal.

Should I pluck or use makeup to shape brows?

Mostly makeup — over-plucking causes thinning. Use a stencil and powder to shape, and tweeze only obvious strays.

How do I shape sparse eyebrows?

Don't remove hair — fill and define with powder or a stamp instead.
