GET YOUR ARCH SHAPE RIGHT SHAPE RIGHT

-

CHANTELLE ZNIDERIC, 39, is a personal stylist. Married to Hayden, 44, a marketing agency owner, they have two children aged six and four.

CHANTELLE SAYS: I think eyebrow fashion does us all a disservice. My eyebrows have always been angular, but I foolishly started plucking them aged just 11 — this has left me with high, pointed brows, which won’t grow any thicker.

I still pluck beneath my brows, so they look tidy, but don’t touch them on top.

When I cut my hair three years ago, I wanted a change, as it made my eyebrows look even more pointy.

But I’m scared of such techniques as microbladi­ng [a method of applying semi-permanent make-up].

JENNA SAYS: Chantelle’s face is stunning, but the false and overly pointed arch is ageing. The arch of your eyebrow should lie naturally over the brow bone, with the highest point about three-

quarters of the way across from the top of your nose.

Many people tweeze only from the bottom, rather than the top, thus creating an exaggerate­d arch. In Chantelle’s case, her arch needed attention from above. Do not try this at home, however — you need an expert to do it first! Threading just above Chantelle’s arch softened the pointy effect.

I then used a soft, black brow powder to fill in underneath and create softer lines, rather than emphasise the triangular shape.

PRODUCTS: Blink Brow Bar Brow Powder (€17, blinkbrowb­ar.com); Benefit Precisely, My Brow Pencil (€26, boots.ie).

CHANTELLE’S VERDICT: I am over the moon with the soft shape and, even better, I think it will be an easy look to recreate.
