How to Shape Asian Eyebrows Perfectly
Step 1: Groom Your Brows
This first step is more of a WEEKLY ROUTINE that women should try to incorporate into their favorite me time.
Asian eyebrow shapes tend to be thick and luxuriant, which is generally a good thing. These thick brows are considered a fashionable look for women this year.
But the thick Asian brow isn’t always the best in every situation and for all women.
Pay Attention to the Shape
If you regularly shape your eyebrows, you need to groom them frequently. There are no taming thick brows, NO MATTER how much product you use or how many times you try to color it in.
Plus, you need to see your natural eyebrow shape to determine what brow trends will suit you.
You can either get a professional to shape your brows for you or do it yourself. You can also choose between tweezing, threading, or waxing, depending on your preference for a brow shape.
All women (and maybe even men) will attest to this!
Step 2: Choose the Right Eyebrow Shape
Before you start drawing in your eyebrow shape, you need to choose one first.
Many people underestimate the power your eyebrow has over your face. Eyebrow shapes can COMPLETELY CHANGE someone’s look.
Do you want to look friendly or assertive? Or maybe you want to have your eyebrow shape on fleek for an extra special occasion?
Whatever it is, you can use our guide above to give you an idea of the result that will level up your appearance.
Step 3: Buy the Right Shade for You
While most Asian women have black hair, that doesn’t mean your favorite product HAS to be black.
For most women, black shades make their faces look too harsh, especially when they start filling it in.
And even if you’ve got the perfect technique to get those perfect arches, using the incorrect shade can make your eyebrows look too intense, particularly for Asian skin tones.
Here's a Tip:
If you have black hair like most Asian women, then get a lighter shade than your natural black locks. You can get something close, such as charcoal, ash-gray, dark gray, or even dark brown pencil.
Don’t go for an outrageously out-of-place color!
For those with colored hair, you can try experimenting with your shade. For example, if you have blonde hair, you can bleach your brows to look MORE CONSISTENT with your overall appearance.
Just remember the general rule of thumb:
Get something that at least MATCHES the shade intensity of your hair, not just your brow colour. This will surely get anyone one step closer to the perfect brow, regardless of their eyebrow shapes!
Do the same for your eyelashes as well! Get a mascara that won’t look too harsh when paired with your overall eye look.

Step 4: Create a Guide You Can Follow
If you’re a newbie, this tip will be particularly handy for you.
Regardless of how easy Youtube vloggers make it look, using freehand to draw in your eyebrows can be difficult and exasperating for most.
This is particularly true for beginners or Asian women who are pressed for time when rushing to get through morning traffic. Note that this tip applies to all curved eyebrow shapes and NOT those who want a straighter eyebrow line.
Use a ruler to mark out the following points on your skin:
- Head of your brow – use your ruler aligned vertically straight along the corner of your nose
- Highest point – align the ruler with the corner of your nose and through the center of your eye
- Tail – measure from the corner of your nose along the outer edge of your bottom eyelid (should not be higher than the head)
Step 5: Start from the Center
One important thing to remember is YOU NEED to brush your eyebrow hair downwards first before filling it in. This will give you a good overview of all the areas that are bald or sparse.
Now, a lot of beginners start from the middle, lower portion of the eyebrow. However, this is NOT the ideal way to do it.
Start from the center of the eyebrow you are shading. The idea is this will avoid eyebrows that are too aggressive in the middle.
- Get the darkest colors of your eyebrow palette and START SHADING in the center, as this is where you will find the most hair.
- Move towards the 2 outer edges of your brow using a lighter shade the farther out you are. This will give you a natural arch.
For those just using 1 shade of pencil, soften your touch for a lighter shade and use a spoolie or brush to blend it.
Step 6: Flick Away
All newbies have an idea that shading your eyebrows is the same as filling in a coloring book. This isn’t at all true!
Any professional will tell you to use short, flicking strokes.
This will make your curve look a lot more natural, as it replicates the individual hairs. Some may even recommend that you use featherlike strokes, which will require nothing short of time and patience for you to master.
Slowly build up the shading and resist the urge to just fill in those sparse spots.
Step 7: Blend It
Blending is the cornerstone of makeup application. You will not get the best curve for your eyes if you don’t do this!
Sticking to this one tip will help you avoid any harsh, demarcating lines in your brows and give you a natural appearance despite wearing makeup.
Step 8: Practice, Practice, Practice!
Now that you have got a good idea of what you need to do to achieve that perfect brow shape, remember to be patient and practice. Even the best artists out there started where you are right now!
Final tip: Try to practice applying your makeup when you’re not busy or in a hurry so you can take your time! You don’t have to make any mistakes, especially if you have sensitive eyes.
