HD Brows Nilam Patel is the founder and eyebrow guru of HD Brows. It is a technique that has seven steps to brow perfection, threading and plucking your eyebrow into the perfect shape. It is an absolute art form and has a wide celebrity following. HOW TO DO IT YOURSELF AT HOME Don’t use a magnifying mirror - they make you create a block shape. The odd stray hair creates a more flattering, softer outline. Colour brows into the desired shape first, using an eyebrow pencil, then tweeze hairs that are outside the shape. Tweezing first will make you overpluck. Lightly fill in the bulb of the brow (nearest the nose) - don’t make it too dark. Don’t pluck one brow fully, then try to match the other to it. Take a few hairs from each brow and continually match them. Pluck in straight lines without forming an arc - your skin tissue and bone structure will create the arc for you naturally. It’s a myth that you shouldn’t remove hair above your brow.
