Hey, just checking in. How are your eyebrows going?

I know– now we’re all working from home and living in isolation to help keep Australians safe from the spread of COVID-19 (you can find out the most up-to-date coronavirus information here) for the near future, how your brows are looking isn’t the most urgent priority.

That doesn’t mean you aren’t allowed to feel mildly concerned about what your eyebrows will look like in the coming weeks/months if you’re A) someone who has regular eyebrow tinting and shaping appointments or B) are at risk of over-plucking them out of sheer boredom in self-isolation.

The good news (for your brows) is you can absolutely do your eyebrows yourself at home… with some helpful advice from a person who does brows for a living, Benefit National Brow Artist Hannah Mutze.

Below, you’ll find a step-by-step guide on exactly how to tweeze, pluck, tint and wax your eyebrows to see you through until your next professional appointment, as well as the few things you probably shouldn’t do yourself to avoid finding yourself in this situation:

How to shape eyebrows.

First up, let's be realistic about what you can achieve DIY with zero to little eyebrow shaping experience.

Want a general tidy up of your existing shape? Go for it. Feel like shaping your eyebrows for the first time or want to change your shape entirely? Wait until you can book an appointment with a professional.

Now, onto how to maintain and tidy up your eyebrows at home. Here are the tools you'll need to shape your brows:

Why do you need this stuff? According to Hannah, the most unf*ckupable way to do any kind of eyebrow shaping (plucking and tweezing, waxing and trimming) is to start by drawing a brow map. Think of it as a template for the eyebrow shape that will best suit your face and a guide for where you're going to tweeze, trim or wax.

Here's how to do it (step-by-step images below):

Yes, it's extra effort. But without it, you can very easily transgress from plucking a few stray hairs to stepping back from the mirror to find you've got tadpole brows (rounded, uneven brows that look like a sperm) or 90s Spice Girl brows.

How to pluck eyebrows.

Once you've drawn your brow map - and only then - Hannah will allow you to pick up the tweezers.(Look, she can't really stop you because, social distancing, but she is the expert.)

"All you need to do is remove all of the hairs that sit outside the lines of your brow map," she said.

Some other important plucking tips:

How to trim eyebrows.

People with long eyebrows that stick up towards the heavens, good news! Hannah says trimming your brows "is surprisingly easy to DII if you proceed with caution." Here's how:

How to wax eyebrows.

Hannah's advice is to tweeze or trim over waxing because a lot more can go wrong when you put hot wax near your eyes.

If you insist on doing it, be extremely careful and 100 per cent do not try and wax your brows free-hand. Use your brow map, and choose a waxing product like a wax pen (the $15 Nads Hair Removal Gel Natural Facial Wand has great reviews) or small wax strips designed for the face.

Personally, I would leave waxing to the professionals.

How to tint your own eyebrows.

To end on a high, it's also pretty easy to tint your eyebrows at home. The best and most affordable option is the $20 1000 Hour Eyelash & Brow Dye Kit you can buy from most chemists. It comes in shades light brown, dark brown, brown black, black and blue black.

Unless you naturally have black hair or brows, keep black and brown black for your eyelashes (you can learn how to tint your eyelashes at home here).

Here is Hannah's advice for not ending up with brow tinting regret:

OK, so all of this information is very helpful, but you might be wondering, why even bother?

The answer is, you don't have to. It comes down to howyou feel.

Like washing your hair or applying skincare, taking 15 minutes (OK, 30 minutes) to groom your eyebrows is one act of self-care you can do in the safety of self-isolation to bring a bit of joy and calm to your day.
