6. Stay Natural. 
Screen siren Jean Harlow’s extremely arched pencil brows made her famous, but it doesn’t mean they’ll work on you. It’s best to avoid trends, and stay true to your own eyebrow shape. “Eyebrows are like DNA – we all have our own,” Eliza explains. But finding our own arch doesn’t mean lots of plucking; the essential rule to remember is that doing less is more, so stay as natural as possible.

With perfect eyebrows, you’re instantly “made up” without having to do anything at all. Eliza says, “I have so many clients that say, ‘when my eyebrows are shaped right, when I wake up in the morning, I can just put lipstick on and get out the door.’” Sounds good to me.
