The place to start when maintaining your eyebrows at home is determining your natural eyebrow shape. Nicky Cayot, an esthetician and brow artist, told Self that, "I would start by lining up your points using the bottom half of a makeup brush or pencil". She then explained that this point is where the eyebrow arch should begin. The next step, according to Cayot, is to use the point on your nose where a piercing would sit to position a makeup brush diagonally across the center of your eye — this indicates where the arch of your brow should have its highest point. Keeping the brush at the same position on your nose, the next step is to move the other end towards the outer corner of your eye — this will highlight where your eyebrow should finish.

As per Byrdie, brow specialist Josh Beeler said that while removing the odd hair is fine, it's best to avoid a brow reshape on your own. He explained that, "In terms of DIY, at-home brow treatments, I would never recommend waxing by yourself — just don't do it." If you are going to tweeze, make sure to use slant-tipped tweezers, get as close to the root of the hair when removing it, and always tweeze in the direction that the hair grows. If you feel unsure about using tweezers, you could try brow scissors instead to neaten up your eyebrows.
