Do you find that your brows are not duplicated in shape and size? I wonder how many of you have difficultly matching them up with makeup. I’m still practicing making them both the same. When I watch ladies on TV, I see a lot that are different from side to side. I’m always checking the makeup, on the ladies, on TV.
Hi Victoria,
It is said that eyebrows are not twins but sisters. There will be a subtle difference. A beautician could make them match.
One thing I did was to get some eyebrow stencils. I played around with the shapes to find one that suited me. Once done I now fill the brows. When done I can pick the rogue hairs that are ‘out of line’.
Hi Victoria!
Angela makes a good point.
My brows on their own are not quite 100 symmetrical. I don’t think anyone’s are.
There’s definitely some tips out there, like the 3 reference points you need to keep in mind.
When doing mine as long as I get about 90-95 matching…I freehand mine…I figure I’m doing darn good!
Trust me I know…I’m artistic and a perfectionist at times, another great tip is to know when put the pencils and brushes down and walk away. 😁

Bilateral symmetry. It doesn’t naturally exist and looks ridiculous. If you want to stand out from virtually everyone…
I once took the advice from a ladies’ mag and had a printer make two transparency copies of a photo of my face en femme. (she liked it BTW). Then I cut the transparency vertically and placed right side next to right side flipped and visa versa….well one looked slimmer, the other looked fatter and …they both looked horribly…wrong.I don’t worry too Much about symmetry, they’re not supposed to be identical. Angela best me to the punch about sisters not twins. I pluck to get them femme, and i use a little color to try to match my wig, trying to look a little more natural.
My new wig is red, well a dark auburn really, and I found the perfect brow makeup that matches it. Etude House Color my brows #3 red brown. Love it.

sisters, I sometimes struggle getting them in the same gene pool 😂😂Didi💋
I’ve always had a problem marching my eyebrows. I have a deep scare just above my left eyebrow that I got when I was very young. When I apply the makeup on my left eyebrow, the pencil always ant to follow the scare instead of my eyebrow. Now I just pluck all the eyebrow hair under the scare and match my right eyebrow to the eye left eyebrow.
OK, here’s another top tip.
I learned how to shape my brows by following a ‘brow mapping’ tutorial on YouTube. Fast forward a few months and I’ve perfected the technique of mapping, but instead of using the messy inked string, I use regular dental floss.
Using the floss, press it onto the skin to leave a light impression which you can then follow with a brow pencil, one line at a time, before it disappears.

Hi Steph…
I did try stencils..
I ended up with a ” Z” above one eye and an ” X” above the other….yikes, do you think I’m using the wrong stencils???
