As to your comment on pencil thin 1930’s eyebrows, here’s a tip from an older lady...young ladies, do NOT tweeze your eyebrows! Just brush them upwards and clip off unruly hairs with a small scissors. You will loose your eyebrows over time and it will be “aging”. Just a heads-up. Also, Justine, I love your videos!🥰
Great idea - I’ll clip the “unrulies” instead of plucking them from now on. Thank you! I still have dark thick (and unruly) eyebrows at 60, but when I looked at my high school graduation portrait, I can definitely see the difference. A few months ago, I started doing this - after brushing my brows, I spray a tiny amount of hairspray on the tip of my finger and use it to keep my brows in place. (One less product to keep on the counter.)
As a mathematician, this video just warms my soul 😻 Do you know that the measure of curvature of the elipse that is our area of vision is more or less equal to the golden ratio?
@@justineleconte I am glad if you enjoyed it! Perhaps channels like Numberphille could interest you and even give you inspiration for the future, they talk a lot about patterns in nature. I have this saying "If humans make it, it is called art, if nature makes it, it is called math" Almost all of your videos on body type, hairstyles, glasses, petite and plus size, it is all just clean math to me, that analytical mind of yours is what I like the most about your videos
Can you please help us with wearing white according to skin tones and undertones? It'll be so much helpful. Please give a thumbs up who wants Justine to do a video on wearing white color.
Merriam Style has a wonderful video about that on her channel X also Carol Tuttle has amazing videos that cover whites for different types on her website DressingYourTruth. Hope this helps x
Also suggestions for brands who have opaque white tops...so many things end up sheer when on the body and the bra is visible - so frustrating! I know I could add a tank top under some of them but the effect the piece seems ruined then
Very informative video. One other facet to consider may be age. I am in my 60s. Dark eyebrows actually make me look like I am trying too hard to look young instead of helping me look younger! Too light also ages me. Just a thought. Thanks for your fashion insights! 👏
My grandmother never allowed me to pluck my eyebrows. She thought Brooke Shields had the perfect eyebrows and thought mine looked like hers. I've always left them alone and now in my late 20s, I'm happy tweezers were never an option growing up 😂 I have an oval and heart shaped face, so I guess my natural eyebrow shape (wide and slightly arched) is what's best suited for my face.
Styling tip: if you need something, to keep your brow hairs in line, just use a little bit of hair gel mixed with water or spray a little hairspray on an old mascara brush. Don’t waste your money on those ridiculously overpriced ‚eyebrow gels‘.
Linda Simpson I fell for it once...but after using it a couple times, I was like: ‚Are you kidding me? That’s basically hairgel for 50 times the price!‘ You can even mix in a little braun eyeshadow, if you want a colored gel...it’s still a lot cheaper.
It may not be a groundbreaking opinion, but I think the eyebrow shape one is born with is the best suiting! Of course it’s understandable to pluck some stray hairs, but dramatically changing ones eyebrow shape often times just doesnt look as great as the natural shape in my opinion
I'd say it depends. I used to have 180° shaped eyebrows, with no angles at all. That made my round face look even rounder. Now I've got some 'artificial' angles that balance out my features. It definetely makes me feel more confident.
I am a diamond face person, feels good to already have the "right" browtype. Warning though is if the brows are too thin in general, you look older. I compared my 18th birthday to my 23rd, I look younger now.
I used to hate sundays, but now I think I've successfully mastered the art of turning it into my favorite day of the week. My routine begins with having a delicious breakfast while I watch your new video. This way I wake up in a gentle mood and also start the day with learning something new. Impeccable content as always, thank you for sharing! 💛
As a square face-shape and someone with naturally thick eyebrows, I am loving the “trends” at this moment of fuller brows. Goodness knows I was not kind to my brows during high school when very thin was in. I am thankful for what I have and that they’re one of my better features. They just need a little taming. ☺️
Very interesting! I am a diamond face shape, and I have rather thick brows with a slight curve. No pointy arch or anything. But I LOVE my eyebrows. They are probably my favorite facial feature. I would never really play with the shape much. I just clean up the unibrow that I would naturally have and come through the rest and voila!
My two-year old son lives to fall asleep watching your videos with mw every sunday😅👍 I kept a brush from previous mascara, is like a comb. And i use it to just brush my eyebrows and look more neat. My shape is pretty easy to care but i always looked in the lamp from salon when the girl did my eyebrows and i learned how to cut the longer hairs which stand out. I prefer to use your french method, from french series. Keep it as close as possible of my natural shape and length.
I have a vertical white stripe running through the inner side of my brow and top lashes. My hair is naturally dark brown so it's quite a contrast without makeup.
So you were dying your brows for a certian period of time? Because I'm a natural brunette and I currently have copper hair, and my eyebrows are pitch black, it doesn't look bad but I have tried putting the same tint to my eyebrows and the tint wears off in 2 days 😪😪😪
I have an oval/square face and have bee doing the "trendy" thicker brow for a couple years now. I actually brush the hairs up really fluffy instead of drawing them thicker, so they look more natural. I also have rather deep set/hooded eyes with a strong browbone, so I keep the tail of the brow quite high and slightly elongated, so it doesn't weigh down the eye even more. Sidenote, I also plucked my brows thin when it was on trend, but luckily they grew back! :D
For my style I just keep my eyebrows as natural as posible. From time to time I will remove the sparse hairs that grow under my brow bone and I just fill the empty spaces. I don’t over line or over thicken my brows because it makes me look older. Would love to have naturally fuller brows but I work with what I got.
Definitely, I've always had this issue finding the true shape of my brows and trying to fit within the trendy instagram brows. Well, it was a battle lost, but I took the suggestion of how to sculp the brows, base on the aurus ratio and the Kibbe's body type and totally worked. Now I have a very harmonious- not on trend brows, but I feel better.
Lol great video! I became obsessed with brows in my teens and found a good tip from my one of my mother’s beauty books: when figuring out the right brow shape, use brow pencil to draw a good shape and a white eyeliner pencil (or whatever “lighter” matching skin color) to X out the areas you would pluck. When happy, pluck only the light hairs! I did all my friends brows and used the golden rule + what looked good to give them awesome definition.
for anyone looking for cheaper alternatives for brow stuff i highly recommend the Essence 'Make me Brow' eyebrow powder. it is an amazing product, not like your usual eyebrow powder, fine milled and in perfect shades. but i do agree that the best brow pencil and clear brow gel is the ABH one.
I overplucked my eyebrows in my youth and now they just won't grow any more.. what I do is I use eyeshadow to drow them but i can't make them much thicker because it doesn't look natural. I'm so happy every time i see a new video from you Justine 🙂. Thank you for the great content ❤.
Your content is always lovely. I use to get my eyebrows threaded but I live to far away from any place that offers it. I have only, once, one time, gotten them waxed and I will never do that again. The stylist made one brow noticeably wider than the other. I had to draw the other one on or it was horrifying noticeable 😒 Thankfully it grew back
I have a predominantly diamond shape, with slight leaning toward pear face, and also over tweezed brows from the 90s, but I really like the thin brow. I wear vintage style on occasion, and the 20s/30s are my favorite eras, so the skinny brow comes in handy. I also enjoy the versatility of a thinner brow as I can fill in if I wish, or not. I've heard that castor oil can help with hair growth for brows and eyelashes, which I'm experimenting with right now. I don't have much evidence yet as it's only been a couple of days using it, but it will definitely be interesting to see if that's true or not. I really enjoy your content on these types of subjects, as its really helped in discovering what looks best on me, and assisted in my personal development. You rock Justine!😊
Due to illness I have no eyebrows and my hair is silver so I have a blank canvas. I use grey pencil to draw my eyebrows with feathered strokes. Having a tutorial about shapes to go with face shapes is fantastic. Merci beaucoup, Justine.
As one ages, hair can thin and color fade - eyebrows too!! I have electrolysis done every 5-6 weeks, since tweezers don’t ‘’grab’’ the few thin hairs which need to go. Also, these hairs are lower on the brow bone due to loss of face volume. It is more painful to grab these hairs. Waxing is an option. With either method, done by a professional who uses a magnifying glass, one can be better groomed. This is especially true if one wears glasses and cannot see pale fine hair. Good point about the fragility of hair in this area and the ever changing trends regarding ‘’right shape.’’ To have one’s eyebrows tattooed, the so called ‘’ permanent eyebrow’’, is to further lessen the volume of one’s natural growth. Also, the tattoo can creep away from the original placement and is not technically permanent since it requires re-doing. In sunlight it is obvious what is the brow and what is inked onto the skin. Thicker brows work best for the older crowd, plus a softer brow color to blend w/skin tone. Thanks for all your good research, Justine!!
I appreciate your comments on brow tatoos. I've considered them, but haven't taken the leap. Your comments convince me it would be a mistake to do so. Thanks.
Whoa, major difference right away. I have thin, light-colored eyebrows, so it's hard to tell where the natural arch is. With your tips I realized they are about a quarter of an inch further out than I thought they were. Thank you!
Sorry about my English. I'm Brazilian and I really want to thank you for four lovely job. I love your videos and tips. I had a long face, but I like to keep my natural arch. It gives me a more expressive face and I think it is great. Congratulations, I wish you a lot of success!
It works! Have just done it for my oval face shape. Lo and behold I can draw dark eyebrows and they look GOOD. Before I had trouble with looking them looking heavy and brooding. Best regards!
Great video :) My hooded eyes are the deciding factor for my brows. My natural brows are dark, full, a little thick, and a little straight, so I pluck a good deal from underneath in a gentle arch shape, the goal being something like the "golden ratio" "ideal shape" for two reasons: 1) to make more room between my lashes and brows, otherwise applying eyeshadow is a nightmare 2) to lift the outer corners of my eyes; being hooded, they can use the lift I still wouldn't like them to be super thin, so I leave as much as I can, and use some cream product to add volume and definition, but I'm thinking about switching to powder for a more subtle enhancement.
I have micro-bladed brows and love them. They require very little attention unless I'm actually putting on makeup to go out, then I'll touch up a few places and that's it. They're terrific for those of us whose brows have become sparse post-menopause.
I have very full but very fair eyebrows. I always look younger/healthier after I have filled them in. I really wanted to get eyebrow tattoos so I could always have the look. But then I found that there is eyebrow and eyelash dye-- I ordered the 1000 Hour (I think) brand from Amazon and it is great! Now I just need to brush them into shape with clear mascara. And now I don't need regular mascara for my lashes either. So much easier.
I love your channel. I am 76 and live in Florida, USA. I never did anything to my brows until I turned about 65 and they started getting thinner. Now I just fill them in with pencil and a light dusting of face powder. Found your info very interesting! Thanks!!
I always had bushy eyebrows and I hated it when I was in high school because all the models on magazines and billboards had thin eyebrows. Lucky for me, times have changed. Honestly, I won't change my eyebrows even if the thick eyebrows trend goes away. I now know that I love me exactly the way I am!
I mostly gave up on my brows and cut a fringe to cover their sparseness after a phase of tweezing. I apply castor oil to them and they are growing back very gradually, but I refuse to clog the area with cosmetics, wearing off existing hairs with frequent makeup removal, and would never do something that would really damage the chances of regrowth further such as the blading which oftentimes looks too severe anyway.
I’m fortunate to have been born with the perfect brows for my face shape. They’re just the right density and have a natural arch, so all I do is trim the excess length and pluck away the strays, and I’m done. No make up on brows, since it would look comical. The 10x magnification mirror, needlepoint tweezers, and nail scissors are my best brow friends.
I actually have a problem with plucking my brows. I remove hair from my upper lips and forehead but every time I try "shaping" my eyebrows I feel weird. I don't feel like my self at all so I just stay away from my brow area.
Hi! Great tips ^_^ Im a natural strawberry blond/redhead. My natural eyebrow colour is practically invisible against my skin. It's amazing. Not many people dare to go without eyebrows but I love how freakish my face looks if I only use eye makeup and don't fill in my eyebrows. 😆 And other times I can draw in whatever shape I like!
Great video Justine! When I look at some pictures of myself from the 1990's I cringe. The skinny eyebrows were popular back then. Thankfully I didn't do any permanent damage and was able to grow out my eyebrows after the skinny trend ended.
When I was a sophomore in high school (about nine years ago), I had pencil thin eyebrows. Now I'm embarrassed to show anyone my yearbook photos. Haha Oh, well. You live and you learn. 😀
Justine just explains everything so well!!! I feel like I’m always in the know after her videos and can apply the knowledge right away! Thanks so much, Justine!
Little did I know I'd already had the perfect eyebrows (I was shocked yet am outlandishly excited by this discovery, especially for never thinking of this topic before being recommended this video).
In Mexico the brow trend has been super strong, thick, dark, extra bold. It has been like this for at least 4 years now and most girls use extra dark pomades to achieve this look. Not my thing unless I want my brows to be the center of attention. I prefer a bit more natural look even if I have very strong brows anyway so I keep them groomed, trimming them every other week and removing any hairs that grow outside of the shape I'm going for. For everyday wear I use a gel with color, but if I feel like properly doing my brows I use powders or pomade depending on weather conditions (pomade works best for me in super hot climates). Amazing tips as always!
I use Nars Medium Brown Warm pencil and for the few gray hairs in my brows, I use an old mascara that is a little bit dried out and brush over the grays very lightly. It makes you appear younger with no grays in your brows.
This is so off topic, but i love your hands so much! I think they're so soft and elegant but kinda strong too, your long nails make your fingers look longer and the rings you use just look so pretty
I started shaping my brows when I was in my 30s, I got them waxed and I didn’t like how thin they left my brows, then I tried threading and didn’t like that either, thankfully my eyebrows grew back and now I do them myself. I have learned to keep the natural shape with minimal clean up. It’s definitely more of a personal choice.
Mother Nature has gifted me with a bit too much of the eyebrow goodness, so I have to keep them in check. ;) #Q&A 1 for the next season: it seems that fashion (or niche fashion) is recently very much into the "librarian style": cardigans, A-line midi skirts, boxy cuts. I've discovered myself sliding into the comfort of that style - as you say, clothes should be comfortable, n'est ce pas? But I also feel bored and meditate how to "vamp up" that cozy librarian in me. How would you do that, pair two different styles? Any tips? #Q&A 2 Terrycloth, suede, corduroy, chino, culottes... fashion is full of professional names for clothing and fabrics (no coincidence there's so much French in it) - how can we "digest" it, as individual consumers trying to pick a fabric with particular features or a shape of trousers that will fit our body types? How can I recognize a good corduroy fabric, par exemple? You already made a video on fabrics, but I would be very interested in more. And oh, culottes, so pretty, but I would never put it on as an apple shaped girl... Merci and have a good day.
i don't shape my brows at all, it's a conscious choice. i just genuinely enjoy them like this, they're already dark and i like the few stray hairs - i even embraced the monobrow and love it now! :)
You're actually a genius, this is actually probably the most informative eyebrow video I've seen! I've been watching a ton of videos on shaping eyebrows. My eyebrows I think really don't suit my face since they are so angular & make me look a bit weird/creepy. I did a little bit of testing too on a photo editing software I use, & I had thought rounder or eyebrows that go up at the ends suited me best. Now I'm watching your video & it supports my hypothesis! I have both a long face & pear face, what suits my face best is a circular shape or brows going upwards at the end. Interesting you mentioned make the ends of the eyebrows go more towards the ears with a pear face, I might have to try doing that! ❤️❤️
My brow routine: Waxing every 5-6 weeks Tinting every 3 weeks Tinting let's me get away without doing much on a daily basis but since my hair is dyed drastically darker than my natural color I need to dye the brows. Causual days are just brow gel from benefit and if I'm due for tinting I may pencil the arch and tail. If I'm going out I use pencil set with powder and topped with a gel. Layering differed colored products to create depth.
You were so brave to photoshop off your eyebrows :D I personally prefer natural-looking brows, with only some shaping, so it was useful to see how to shape mine. Thanks!
I don't have one way I always do my brows... it changes depending on my mood and what style I want that day! But I think I have a diamond face shape and your advice is actually similar to how I generally aim to shape my brows :)
I have done microblading so, I am only using clear brow gel to set the hair in place. Microblading is tricky: you have to do research and find the right person to do it as it lasts up to 3 years and a bad results will hunt you for a very long time.
This video is AMAZING! I've been googling how to tweak my brows to flatter my long oval face, and this is the one thing I found that actually answered my question!!! THANK YOU! I'll be making my eyebrows straighter, less arched, to make my face appear fuller, or less long!
When Pretty Pastel Please (a youtuber from Australia) did a Korean Makeup tutorial she did the new square brows- and she thought they looked weird- but EVERYONE in the comments told her they suited her face shape -( they really do) - so now she does Korean Brows all the time and it suits her face! It's so important to figure out what brows your face shape needs.
Thank u sooo much Justine for making this video. I requested for it in the longest time. I rushed to watch it as soon as I saw the notification. Thanks a lot 😊💋
I agree that ABH products are THE BEST for brows. I actually use two colors; dark to define and lighter to fill. It took me a very long time to work out the best brow shape for me that doesn't emphasize my eye bags and downturned eyes. These are good guidelines but as you said, variations are often needed.
my brow routine is 1) wash my face 2) redirect rebel hairs 3) ??? 4) profit i have never done anything to them and i'm lucky enough that they're pretty symmetrical and even in fullness, start at the right place with a slight arch at about two thirds of the length and a sharp end :>
Ok, so I'm a towhead as far as hair color & my eyebrows appear almost non-existent because of this so I've always kind of penciled them in to give my face some shape that it was lacking. But I never was happy with what I did and watching your video has changed the way that my eyebrows have looked, for the last 20 years like they have shape I have an arch like I never had any idea how to figure out where and how to make them look like this. So thank you
I have very light eyebrows, more blonde than my hair. For years I did nothing to them but when I wore mascara and eyeshadow they practically disappeared. Now I just lightly pencil them in with an auburn colour and I think it definitely makes my face more proportioned. I love that thicker brows are back in style as mine are quite thick
I get my eyebrows waxed and use tweezers in between. I don't go for a really thin line, but just to clean them up and keep them even. I will sometimes leave them alone when applying make-up, and other times I will add a little bit extra of my natural color with a powder or pencil.
I have never had a problem with not seeing videos from channels I subscribe to. There has always been a section called "subscriptions" that has a long list of every single video that every single channel you subscribe to has come out with in the last couple of months. The notifications are an extra thing if there are channels that you love more than others and want to know as soon as possible when their video came out.
@@justineleconte I guess I can't speak for other people, but thankfully I haven't had a problem. I wonder if problems start to happen if people are subscribed to too many channels? In that case the notification bell is probably helpful. I am glad I don't miss any of your videos though! =)
As I got older i started loosing eyebrow hairs and others became white (horror). I now use a dye that works better than hair dye. It’s a product for men for beard hair. Works great, lasts longer, and takes 4 min. only, less if you want it paler, a bit more for darker hair.i love it.
I have a square face AND thick brows and have always been so self conscious of both. When you said I can get away with thick brows and that they work well with square faces, I started tearing up because that makes me feel so much better about my appearance!! 😭💕
I wish to learn about ladies likes and dislikes thus becoming more understanding as to theirs . For that I always watch your videos and have become an avid fan. This video in particular have thought me how to appreciate a part of women’s most important beauty issue . Thank you.
Hey Justine~ Wonderful - as usual! Every video you do I learn something new and quite helpful. And I thank you for that. On another note: at 10:32 there is you with a beautiful red lip... absolutely fabulous! If I remember correctly, you said in another video that you didn't wear red lipstick much because you have thin lips. (If I am wrong here, my apologies). I absolutely love this photo of you: for me, you personify French chic. Thank you again for your kind generosity in sharing.
I'm grateful to God ,I have a great natural eye brow shape . After ,I disconnected them . Lol! As you get older you have to create a more awake and open eye look, not a surprised look . I pluck my eyebrows ,but it's more of a clean up . After years of doing the same shape , which is working with my own shape (arched) I just round off my arch or slightly oval. Let me see if I have a picture . Also , here in in The U.S . we are taught this technique you showed us , but you align the beginning at the end of your nostril . Which is what I have been doing . I don't want to look angry , so this works for me . It softens my look .
There is also one thing you need to consider while changing appereance - personality. I often got for example hair cuts that was nice on proportions and etc. but did not match my own style and personality. It's really nice to have a look on actresses in different films, how different looks they have and how it changes our perception of the character they play 😉 And with my own eye brows - I kept it natural for a long time and I liked it. I stil don't like this clear line you get after trimming and it really pleases me when I see that some models have this made-to-be-messy eye brows. It looks for me really freeing and youthful.
Justine!! You are so knowledgable! What did we ever do before you made this channel? Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!Has anyone else benefited immensely from this channel?
Hi, Justine. I love your videos -- lots of helpful information and fun to watch! Can you please do a segment on what French or other European women wear for sleeping and/or lounging?
Somehow your videos make absolute sense and everything I read online I come back to check its authenticity and accuracy on your channel. Such strong content you create, Justin. Thanks and greetings! :)
Love you Justine ❤ Can we have the French thing again.. I remember you said French women don't really touch Below the eye brows.. I do watch your French content videos once or twice in 2-3 months ever since for reference when I go for some thing new.. as I've just begun to explore this field for beauty grooming own style etc ( university does that to you😂😂😬 when you're suddenly exposed to everything..😂😂) Iam glad that I found you early in my life.. love you loads🌸🌸🌸 love you Justine ❤😊
normally you don't touch above the brow, and underneath it you only remove single hairs that are too far away from the actual brow. This way, you preserve your natural shape.
Never wax, always tweeze. I have a long diamond face and it turns out I’m already wearing the correct shape but I didn’t know it until this video! Cool. I have several very coarse wiry unruly black hairs in my brows that I pluck out and that sometimes creates a hole. So my grooming routine is just filling in any holes and slightly accentuating the sparse tails of my brows. No heavy shaping going on here, no gels or pomades. Just Laura mercier’s awesome brow pencil with the spoolie on one end. Her shades are nice and ashy, not reddish.

As to your comment on pencil thin 1930’s eyebrows, here’s a tip from an older lady...young ladies, do NOT tweeze your eyebrows! Just brush them upwards and clip off unruly hairs with a small scissors. You will loose your eyebrows over time and it will be “aging”. Just a heads-up. Also, Justine, I love your videos!🥰
I only tweeze the 'stray' hairs on the side, where the hair has to go away. Otherwise my eyebrows are light brown caterpillars.
I use a nail clipper to get as far to the root as possible
Thanks for the tip - I never thought to cut my eyebrow hairs!
Great idea - I’ll clip the “unrulies” instead of plucking them from now on. Thank you!
I still have dark thick (and unruly) eyebrows at 60, but when I looked at my high school graduation portrait, I can definitely see the difference.
A few months ago, I started doing this - after brushing my brows, I spray a tiny amount of hairspray on the tip of my finger and use it to keep my brows in place. (One less product to keep on the counter.)
That's exactly what my mother and many of my friend's mothers say and I'm glad I'd followed their tip👍
As a mathematician, this video just warms my soul 😻
Do you know that the measure of curvature of the elipse that is our area of vision is more or less equal to the golden ratio?

Helpful tip - draw in your brows before you pluck. This means you have the perfect template drawn on before you accidentally remove too much!
As a square face-shape and someone with naturally thick eyebrows, I am loving the “trends” at this moment of fuller brows. Goodness knows I was not kind to my brows during high school when very thin was in. I am thankful for what I have and that they’re one of my better features. They just need a little taming. ☺️
Very interesting! I am a diamond face shape, and I have rather thick brows with a slight curve. No pointy arch or anything. But I LOVE my eyebrows. They are probably my favorite facial feature. I would never really play with the shape much. I just clean up the unibrow that I would naturally have and come through the rest and voila!
My two-year old son lives to fall asleep watching your videos with mw every sunday😅👍
I kept a brush from previous mascara, is like a comb. And i use it to just brush my eyebrows and look more neat.
My shape is pretty easy to care but i always looked in the lamp from salon when the girl did my eyebrows and i learned how to cut the longer hairs which stand out. I prefer to use your french method, from french series. Keep it as close as possible of my natural shape and length.
I always use Justine's videos to fall asleep too :)
I am 57 years old and my eyebrow hairs turned grey. I am aesthetician and used a professional tint. Last year, I had microblading done and love it.
I have a vertical white stripe running through the inner side of my brow and top lashes. My hair is naturally dark brown so it's quite a contrast without makeup.
So you were dying your brows for a certian period of time? Because I'm a natural brunette and I currently have copper hair, and my eyebrows are pitch black, it doesn't look bad but I have tried putting the same tint to my eyebrows and the tint wears off in 2 days 😪😪😪
I have an oval/square face and have bee doing the "trendy" thicker brow for a couple years now. I actually brush the hairs up really fluffy instead of drawing them thicker, so they look more natural. I also have rather deep set/hooded eyes with a strong browbone, so I keep the tail of the brow quite high and slightly elongated, so it doesn't weigh down the eye even more.
Sidenote, I also plucked my brows thin when it was on trend, but luckily they grew back! :D
I so enjoy your videos. You are a natural teacher and so generous with your time and knowledge. Thankyou. X
For my style I just keep my eyebrows as natural as posible. From time to time I will remove the sparse hairs that grow under my brow bone and I just fill the empty spaces. I don’t over line or over thicken my brows because it makes me look older. Would love to have naturally fuller brows but I work with what I got.
Definitely, I've always had this issue finding the true shape of my brows and trying to fit within the trendy instagram brows. Well, it was a battle lost, but I took the suggestion of how to sculp the brows, base on the aurus ratio and the Kibbe's body type and totally worked. Now I have a very harmonious- not on trend brows, but I feel better.
Great! And don't worry, trends change 😉
Lol great video! I became obsessed with brows in my teens and found a good tip from my one of my mother’s beauty books: when figuring out the right brow shape, use brow pencil to draw a good shape and a white eyeliner pencil (or whatever “lighter” matching skin color) to X out the areas you would pluck. When happy, pluck only the light hairs! I did all my friends brows and used the golden rule + what looked good to give them awesome definition.
You are amazing!!, thank you very much
Justine, I just love how respectful and professional you are. Thank you very much (and congratulations) for such a great work!
for anyone looking for cheaper alternatives for brow stuff i highly recommend the Essence 'Make me Brow' eyebrow powder. it is an amazing product, not like your usual eyebrow powder, fine milled and in perfect shades. but i do agree that the best brow pencil and clear brow gel is the ABH one.
I overplucked my eyebrows in my youth and now they just won't grow any more.. what
I do is I use eyeshadow to drow them but i can't make them much thicker because it doesn't look natural. I'm so happy every time i see a new video from you Justine 🙂. Thank you for the great content ❤.
Your content is always lovely.
I use to get my eyebrows threaded but I live to far away from any place that offers it.
I have only, once, one time, gotten them waxed and I will never do that again. The stylist made one brow noticeably wider than the other. I had to draw the other one on or it was horrifying noticeable 😒
Thankfully it grew back
I have a predominantly diamond shape, with slight leaning toward pear face, and also over tweezed brows from the 90s, but I really like the thin brow. I wear vintage style on occasion, and the 20s/30s are my favorite eras, so the skinny brow comes in handy. I also enjoy the versatility of a thinner brow as I can fill in if I wish, or not. I've heard that castor oil can help with hair growth for brows and eyelashes, which I'm experimenting with right now. I don't have much evidence yet as it's only been a couple of days using it, but it will definitely be interesting to see if that's true or not. I really enjoy your content on these types of subjects, as its really helped in discovering what looks best on me, and assisted in my personal development. You rock Justine!😊
Due to illness I have no eyebrows and my hair is silver so I have a blank canvas. I use grey pencil to draw my eyebrows with feathered strokes. Having a tutorial about shapes to go with face shapes is fantastic. Merci beaucoup, Justine.
As one ages, hair can thin and color fade - eyebrows too!! I have electrolysis done every 5-6 weeks, since tweezers don’t ‘’grab’’ the few thin hairs which need to go. Also, these hairs are lower on the brow bone due to loss of face volume. It is more painful to grab these hairs. Waxing is an option.
With either method, done by a professional who uses a magnifying glass, one can be better groomed.
This is especially true if one wears glasses and cannot see pale fine hair.
Good point about the fragility of hair in this area and the ever changing trends regarding ‘’right shape.’’ To have one’s eyebrows tattooed, the so called ‘’ permanent eyebrow’’, is to further lessen the volume of one’s natural growth. Also, the tattoo can creep away from the original placement and is not technically permanent since it requires re-doing. In sunlight it is obvious what is the brow and what is inked onto the skin.
Thicker brows work best for the older crowd, plus a softer brow color to blend w/skin tone.
Thanks for all your good research, Justine!!
I appreciate your comments on brow tatoos. I've considered them, but haven't taken the leap. Your comments convince me it would be a mistake to do so. Thanks.
Whoa, major difference right away. I have thin, light-colored eyebrows, so it's hard to tell where the natural arch is. With your tips I realized they are about a quarter of an inch further out than I thought they were. Thank you!
Sorry about my English. I'm Brazilian and I really want to thank you for four lovely job. I love your videos and tips. I had a long face, but I like to keep my natural arch. It gives me a more expressive face and I think it is great.
Congratulations, I wish you a lot of success!
It works! Have just done it for my oval face shape. Lo and behold I can draw dark eyebrows and they look GOOD. Before I had trouble with looking them looking heavy and brooding. Best regards!
Great video :)
My hooded eyes are the deciding factor for my brows. My natural brows are dark, full, a little thick, and a little straight, so I pluck a good deal from underneath in a gentle arch shape, the goal being something like the "golden ratio" "ideal shape" for two reasons:
1) to make more room between my lashes and brows, otherwise applying eyeshadow is a nightmare
2) to lift the outer corners of my eyes; being hooded, they can use the lift
I still wouldn't like them to be super thin, so I leave as much as I can, and use some cream product to add volume and definition, but I'm thinking about switching to powder for a more subtle enhancement.
I have micro-bladed brows and love them. They require very little attention unless I'm actually putting on makeup to go out, then I'll touch up a few places and that's it. They're terrific for those of us whose brows have become sparse post-menopause.
Hi Justine! Can you make make a video on androgynous style on men and woman and with different body types? That would be so cool🌸
Love you💕
I can never thank you enough, for the first time ever I feel good about my round face shape
I have very full but very fair eyebrows. I always look younger/healthier after I have filled them in. I really wanted to get eyebrow tattoos so I could always have the look. But then I found that there is eyebrow and eyelash dye-- I ordered the 1000 Hour (I think) brand from Amazon and it is great! Now I just need to brush them into shape with clear mascara. And now I don't need regular mascara for my lashes either. So much easier.
My mom was an esthetician and makeup artist. I have perfect eyebrows because she taught well. I get compliments on my brows! Lol. Thanks Mom
I love your channel. I am 76 and live in Florida, USA. I never did anything to my brows until I turned about 65 and they started getting thinner. Now I just fill them in with pencil and a light dusting of face powder. Found your info very interesting! Thanks!!
Finally, the video my eyebrows have been waiting their whole lives for! Thanks, Justine!
hahaha :-D
I always had bushy eyebrows and I hated it when I was in high school because all the models on magazines and billboards had thin eyebrows. Lucky for me, times have changed. Honestly, I won't change my eyebrows even if the thick eyebrows trend goes away. I now know that I love me exactly the way I am!
Great!
she seems so passionate about this and it’s just the cutest thing
Wonderful idea of video!!! Videos like this makes this channel unique!
I mostly gave up on my brows and cut a fringe to cover their sparseness after a phase of tweezing. I apply castor oil to them and they are growing back very gradually, but I refuse to clog the area with cosmetics, wearing off existing hairs with frequent makeup removal, and would never do something that would really damage the chances of regrowth further such as the blading which oftentimes looks too severe anyway.
I’m fortunate to have been born with the perfect brows for my face shape. They’re just the right density and have a natural arch, so all I do is trim the excess length and pluck away the strays, and I’m done. No make up on brows, since it would look comical. The 10x magnification mirror, needlepoint tweezers, and nail scissors are my best brow friends.
I actually have a problem with plucking my brows. I remove hair from my upper lips and forehead but every time I try "shaping" my eyebrows I feel weird. I don't feel like my self at all so I just stay away from my brow area.
Try getting someone to thread them.
One of the BEST channels on TH-cam!
Hi! Great tips ^_^ Im a natural strawberry blond/redhead. My natural eyebrow colour is practically invisible against my skin. It's amazing. Not many people dare to go without eyebrows but I love how freakish my face looks if I only use eye makeup and don't fill in my eyebrows. 😆 And other times I can draw in whatever shape I like!
Great video Justine! When I look at some pictures of myself from the 1990's I cringe. The skinny eyebrows were popular back then. Thankfully I didn't do any permanent damage and was able to grow out my eyebrows after the skinny trend ended.
When I was a sophomore in high school (about nine years ago), I had pencil thin eyebrows. Now I'm embarrassed to show anyone my yearbook photos. Haha
Oh, well. You live and you learn. 😀
Lucky you.. mine never grew back. And now every morning on top of my make up routine it takes me 10 minutes to draw in my eyebrows.
Justine just explains everything so well!!! I feel like I’m always in the know after her videos and can apply the knowledge right away! Thanks so much, Justine!
💛
Little did I know I'd already had the perfect eyebrows (I was shocked yet am outlandishly excited by this discovery, especially for never thinking of this topic before being recommended this video).
In Mexico the brow trend has been super strong, thick, dark, extra bold. It has been like this for at least 4 years now and most girls use extra dark pomades to achieve this look. Not my thing unless I want my brows to be the center of attention. I prefer a bit more natural look even if I have very strong brows anyway so I keep them groomed, trimming them every other week and removing any hairs that grow outside of the shape I'm going for.
For everyday wear I use a gel with color, but if I feel like properly doing my brows I use powders or pomade depending on weather conditions (pomade works best for me in super hot climates).
Amazing tips as always!
I don’t do anything my brows. I’m so lost with them. This was so helpful! Thank you!
I use Nars Medium Brown Warm pencil and for the few gray hairs in my brows, I use an old mascara that is a little bit dried out and brush over the grays very lightly. It makes you appear younger with no grays in your brows.
I listen to her video while I sleep because her voice is so soothing😄❤
This is so off topic, but i love your hands so much! I think they're so soft and elegant but kinda strong too, your long nails make your fingers look longer and the rings you use just look so pretty
I started shaping my brows when I was in my 30s, I got them waxed and I didn’t like how thin they left my brows, then I tried threading and didn’t like that either, thankfully my eyebrows grew back and now I do them myself. I have learned to keep the natural shape with minimal clean up. It’s definitely more of a personal choice.
It is! 😉
This was the best and most comprehensive video ever on eyebrows! Thank you, Justine!
Really want to see a closet/wardrobe organizing video from you with all the tips please Justine!
Mother Nature has gifted me with a bit too much of the eyebrow goodness, so I have to keep them in check. ;)
#Q&A 1 for the next season: it seems that fashion (or niche fashion) is recently very much into the "librarian style": cardigans, A-line midi skirts, boxy cuts. I've discovered myself sliding into the comfort of that style - as you say, clothes should be comfortable, n'est ce pas? But I also feel bored and meditate how to "vamp up" that cozy librarian in me. How would you do that, pair two different styles? Any tips?
#Q&A 2 Terrycloth, suede, corduroy, chino, culottes... fashion is full of professional names for clothing and fabrics (no coincidence there's so much French in it) - how can we "digest" it, as individual consumers trying to pick a fabric with particular features or a shape of trousers that will fit our body types? How can I recognize a good corduroy fabric, par exemple? You already made a video on fabrics, but I would be very interested in more. And oh, culottes, so pretty, but I would never put it on as an apple shaped girl...
Merci and have a good day.
i don't shape my brows at all, it's a conscious choice. i just genuinely enjoy them like this, they're already dark and i like the few stray hairs - i even embraced the monobrow and love it now! :)
I love how nuanced your videos are, you're my favorite fashion TH-camr because of how considerate you are💘
I would love to see a sunglasses for faceshapes video too. Summer is coming, i need help lol
the video on glasses will answer a part of the question - linked in the desription ;-)
Merci beaucoup Justine 😊
You're actually a genius, this is actually probably the most informative eyebrow video I've seen! I've been watching a ton of videos on shaping eyebrows. My eyebrows I think really don't suit my face since they are so angular & make me look a bit weird/creepy. I did a little bit of testing too on a photo editing software I use, & I had thought rounder or eyebrows that go up at the ends suited me best. Now I'm watching your video & it supports my hypothesis! I have both a long face & pear face, what suits my face best is a circular shape or brows going upwards at the end. Interesting you mentioned make the ends of the eyebrows go more towards the ears with a pear face, I might have to try doing that!
❤️❤️
Glad you found it useful!💛
My brow routine:
Waxing every 5-6 weeks
Tinting every 3 weeks
Tinting let's me get away without doing much on a daily basis but since my hair is dyed drastically darker than my natural color I need to dye the brows.
Causual days are just brow gel from benefit and if I'm due for tinting I may pencil the arch and tail.
If I'm going out I use pencil set with powder and topped with a gel. Layering differed colored products to create depth.
You were so brave to photoshop off your eyebrows :D
I personally prefer natural-looking brows, with only some shaping, so it was useful to see how to shape mine. Thanks!
Hehehe I must say I felt very naked without eyebrows, just looking at the picture 😅
I don't have one way I always do my brows... it changes depending on my mood and what style I want that day! But I think I have a diamond face shape and your advice is actually similar to how I generally aim to shape my brows :)
I have done microblading so, I am only using clear brow gel to set the hair in place. Microblading is tricky: you have to do research and find the right person to do it as it lasts up to 3 years and a bad results will hunt you for a very long time.
Yay! I have a diamond shaped face and my eye brows are super thin. I’m self conscious about that but now I’m glad 😊
We have the same face shape, eye color and hair color. Your channel is awesome! Thank you. 😄
This video is AMAZING! I've been googling how to tweak my brows to flatter my long oval face, and this is the one thing I found that actually answered my question!!! THANK YOU! I'll be making my eyebrows straighter, less arched, to make my face appear fuller, or less long!
When Pretty Pastel Please (a youtuber from Australia) did a Korean Makeup tutorial she did the new square brows- and she thought they looked weird- but EVERYONE in the comments told her they suited her face shape -( they really do) - so now she does Korean Brows all the time and it suits her face! It's so important to figure out what brows your face shape needs.
Thank u sooo much Justine for making this video. I requested for it in the longest time. I rushed to watch it as soon as I saw the notification. Thanks a lot 😊💋
I agree that ABH products are THE BEST for brows. I actually use two colors; dark to define and lighter to fill. It took me a very long time to work out the best brow shape for me that doesn't emphasize my eye bags and downturned eyes. These are good guidelines but as you said, variations are often needed.
This was fantasically informative! I think many poeple will find it to be incredibly useful. Thank you for mkaing it!
I’ve been waiting for this for so long! Thank you thank you thank you!!! ❤️
my brow routine is 1) wash my face 2) redirect rebel hairs 3) ??? 4) profit
i have never done anything to them and i'm lucky enough that they're pretty symmetrical and even in fullness, start at the right place with a slight arch at about two thirds of the length and a sharp end :>
Ok, so I'm a towhead as far as hair color & my eyebrows appear almost non-existent because of this so I've always kind of penciled them in to give my face some shape that it was lacking. But I never was happy with what I did and watching your video has changed the way that my eyebrows have looked, for the last 20 years like they have shape I have an arch like I never had any idea how to figure out where and how to make them look like this. So thank you
I have very light eyebrows, more blonde than my hair. For years I did nothing to them but when I wore mascara and eyeshadow they practically disappeared. Now I just lightly pencil them in with an auburn colour and I think it definitely makes my face more proportioned. I love that thicker brows are back in style as mine are quite thick
Sounds like you have found your style already 😊
You add delight to all your topics. Such a lovely woman 🌟
Best eyebrow video I've seen hands down. Thank you. ^_^
Thanks!!
The best brow video I have ever seen, as always so well researched and I loved it.
wow... thanks!
I get my eyebrows waxed and use tweezers in between. I don't go for a really thin line, but just to clean them up and keep them even. I will sometimes leave them alone when applying make-up, and other times I will add a little bit extra of my natural color with a powder or pencil.
I checked it.now iam even happier with my eyebrows
I have never had a problem with not seeing videos from channels I subscribe to. There has always been a section called "subscriptions" that has a long list of every single video that every single channel you subscribe to has come out with in the last couple of months. The notifications are an extra thing if there are channels that you love more than others and want to know as soon as possible when their video came out.
Ok... though I heard that sometimes videos don't appear in that list... I am not sure about how it works on the viewers' side 🤔
@@justineleconte I guess I can't speak for other people, but thankfully I haven't had a problem. I wonder if problems start to happen if people are subscribed to too many channels? In that case the notification bell is probably helpful. I am glad I don't miss any of your videos though! =)
As I got older i started loosing eyebrow hairs and others became white (horror). I now use a dye that works better than hair dye. It’s a product for men for beard hair. Works great, lasts longer, and takes 4 min. only, less if you want it paler, a bit more for darker hair.i love it.
I have a square face AND thick brows and have always been so self conscious of both. When you said I can get away with thick brows and that they work well with square faces, I started tearing up because that makes me feel so much better about my appearance!! 😭💕
Square face looks good with thick brows because you probably have good/big bone structure. Sure you look good
Your videos are knowledgeable yet leave space for our imagination. That’s lovely and all good wishes for you.
I wish to learn about ladies likes and dislikes thus becoming more understanding as to theirs . For that I always watch your videos and have become an avid fan. This video in particular have thought me how to appreciate a part of women’s most important beauty issue . Thank you.
Justine, please do a video on the new Met Gala, I always look forward to your Metgala reviews, they are spot on and great!
Yess!! Only Yesterday I was researching on this and now my idol posts a video on it! Thank you Justine!!!!
Hey Justine~ Wonderful - as usual! Every video you do I learn something new and quite helpful. And I thank you for that. On another note: at 10:32 there is you with a beautiful red lip... absolutely fabulous! If I remember correctly, you said in another video that you didn't wear red lipstick much because you have thin lips. (If I am wrong here, my apologies). I absolutely love this photo of you: for me, you personify French chic. Thank you again for your kind generosity in sharing.
I'm grateful to God ,I have a great natural eye brow shape . After ,I disconnected them . Lol! As you get older you have to create a more awake and open eye look, not a surprised look . I pluck my eyebrows ,but it's more of a clean up . After years of doing the same shape , which is working with my own shape (arched) I just round off my arch or slightly oval. Let me see if I have a picture . Also , here in in The U.S . we are taught this technique you showed us , but you align the beginning at the end of your nostril . Which is what I have been doing . I don't want to look angry , so this works for me . It softens my look .
You’re aways so kind light hearted and informative. Thank you 😊
There is also one thing you need to consider while changing appereance - personality. I often got for example hair cuts that was nice on proportions and etc. but did not match my own style and personality. It's really nice to have a look on actresses in different films, how different looks they have and how it changes our perception of the character they play 😉 And with my own eye brows - I kept it natural for a long time and I liked it. I stil don't like this clear line you get after trimming and it really pleases me when I see that some models have this made-to-be-messy eye brows. It looks for me really freeing and youthful.
@Anna Gajda I hadn’t thought about that, thanks for the new perspective!
@@plasticfrog4533 Your welcome! 🌼
Justine!! You are so knowledgable! What did we ever do before you made this channel? Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!Has anyone else benefited immensely from this channel?
Hi, Justine. I love your videos -- lots of helpful information and fun to watch! Can you please do a segment on what French or other European women wear for sleeping and/or lounging?
Somehow your videos make absolute sense and everything I read online I come back to check its authenticity and accuracy on your channel. Such strong content you create, Justin.
Thanks and greetings! :)
Love you Justine ❤
Can we have the French thing again.. I remember you said French women don't really touch Below the eye brows.. I do watch your French content videos once or twice in 2-3 months ever since for reference when I go for some thing new.. as I've just begun to explore this field for beauty grooming own style etc ( university does that to you😂😂😬 when you're suddenly exposed to everything..😂😂) Iam glad that I found you early in my life.. love you loads🌸🌸🌸 love you Justine ❤😊
normally you don't touch above the brow, and underneath it you only remove single hairs that are too far away from the actual brow. This way, you preserve your natural shape.
Never wax, always tweeze. I have a long diamond face and it turns out I’m already wearing the correct shape but I didn’t know it until this video! Cool. I have several very coarse wiry unruly black hairs in my brows that I pluck out and that sometimes creates a hole. So my grooming routine is just filling in any holes and slightly accentuating the sparse tails of my brows. No heavy shaping going on here, no gels or pomades. Just Laura mercier’s awesome brow pencil with the spoolie on one end. Her shades are nice and ashy, not reddish.
