The Easier Way To...

Clean Up Your Brows

Instead of tweezing with a hope and a prayer that somehow you'll reveal perfect arches (or at least two fairly symmetrical ones), begin with a pencil and a plan, suggests Arianne Damboise, brow expert and national makeup artist for Benefit Cosmetics. Using a white or pale beige eye pencil, draw on top of the hairs that you think you want to get rid of. Then look at what you haven't drawn over: Do you like the shape? If so, go ahead and tweeze everything within the pencil-covered area. When you're done, blend in the pencil with your fingertip—the pale shade will beautifully highlight your newly cleaned-up brow bone.
