How to mark your eyebrow shape?

When you finally manage to pick the right shade of eyebrow pencil, than it is time to apply it on your eyebrows. Firs of all, support your elbow against a desktop and a palm against the cheek. Start from drawing a line on the base of the eyebrow. Mark the beginning of the line by touching the pencil along side of the nose and inner corner of the eye. Do the same for marking ending point of the line but this time touch the pencil to the outer corner of the eye. You can mark the upper line of eyebrows in the similar way. The place, where the eyebrow starts bending downwards, mark by touching the pencil to side of the nose and outer edge of the iris. Match the marked spots and fill the area inside. Draw tiny lines imitating hair. Obviously, remember to draw the fake hairs accordingly to your natural hair direction of growth.
