2. Draw - If you have patchy eyebrows then make sure to fill those in. You want it to look thick not patchy. If you have a very thin and short brows then make sure to draw the rest of your brows.

*If the upper and lower part of your brows are not straight then fill it up until it is straight. It's best if there are no arch on your brow line.

3. Angle - The outer end of your eyebrows need to be slightly angled. The upper part of the brows have to be shorter by 0.5cm to 1cm compared to the lower part.

4. Color - Do not use dark colors. Make sure that your eyebrows are a few shades lighter than your hair color! Dark eyebrows will make you look boy-ish. It won't look good at all. Try to use a really light grey if you have black hair. If you have brown hair then use a light brown pencil or color them with a light brown eyebrow mascara!

5. Length - You don't want it to be too short but your don't want it to be too long either. Too short will make your brows look weird. Too long will make you look more mature.
Here is a diagram on how to draw your brows with the correct measurements.
