SYMMETRY IS EVERYTHING

Janet Quirke, 46, works in social housing. She is married to Jim, 48, who has a sign firm. they live in Luton with their children, aged 13, 11 and seven.

JANET SAYS: I used to get my brows done every month, having them plucked into whatever shape was trendy — but then, they stopped growing and never grew back. There are some dark patches, but they’re not in the right place. The rest is uneven.

I’ve tried lots of products, but they’re never right. I also have a droopy eye and wonder if better brows might detract from it.

JENNA SAYS: No one’s eyebrows are identical. In Janet’s case, we needed to work on the front of her brows, near her nose, where they looked heavy, making the rest appear thin and uneven.

I plucked below the thickest part, at the start of the brow, to create a tapered look, then removed minimal hair above her higher brow and just below her lower brow. The result: thickerlooking, symmetrical brows.

Filling in uneven brows in the same way creates balance. A light-toned pencil applied with fine strokes worked a treat.

PRODUCTS: Eylure Fleur de Force Brow Define Light (£12, Boots); Eylure Brow Paint Brow Cream (£5.96, superdrug.com). JANET’S VERDICT: Two weeks on and they still look fantastic.
