Brows frame the eyes and strongly influence facial expression and perceived structure. Grooming — tidying strays, defining shape, filling sparse areas — is fast, low-cost and high-impact. The goal is a clean, natural shape, not over-shaping.

Why It Matters

Few interventions return as much per minute as well-groomed brows.

What It Affects
  • Eye framing
  • Expression
  • Upper-face definition
Common Misconceptions
  • That brow grooming is feminising — clean, natural grooming is simply tidy.
How To Improve It
  • Trim and tidy strays
  • Define a natural shape
  • Consider brow serums for sparse brows
Quick Wins
  • A weekly 5-minute tidy
Long-Term Wins
  • Maintain density and shape over time
Mistakes To Avoid
  • Over-plucking
  • Unnatural sharp lines
