Too darn bushy

This problem is a little like when supermodels complain they don’t like their elbows – it’s a great one to have. Removing bulk doesn’t mean removing hairs and pruning them. For a full brow with a modern shape, it’s more likely you need a trim. According to brow expert Kristie Streicher (check out @kristiestreicher for inspo), fill your brows with a pencil as if you’re heading out, which creates a guide and prevents over-trimming. Then use a strong clear brow gel (like Ere Perez Argan Brow Hero, $43) to brush hair upwards toward the hairline and out towards the temple. Let them dry and then only trim the ends sticking beyond your desired shape.

Go one at a time, to avoid overdoing it.
