THE ART OF EFFORTLESS BEAUTY
EFFORTLESS. CONFIDENT. BEAUTIFUL.
THE BROWS
At VRAI, we believe brows are the frame of the face. Perfectly shaped brows can elevate your entire look, adding a touch of definition and effortless elegance. But where do you begin?
Here's your guide to unlocking the secrets of brow shaping and discovering your perfect arch.
NO. 1
THE STARTING POINT
Position a pencil vertically along the side of your nose, aligning it with the inner corner of your eye. The point where the pencil intersects your brow marks the ideal starting point for your brow.
NO. 2
THE ARCH
Tilt the pencil diagonally from the outer edge of your nostril, passing through the center of your pupil. This intersection denotes the highest point, or apex of your eyebrow.
NO. 3
THE END POINT
Continue the pencil line from the outer edge of your nostril to the outer corner of your eye. This is where your brow should gracefully conclude.
NO. 4
ENSURING SYMMETRY
Measure the distance between your brows and from each brow to the outer corner of your eye. Harmonious proportions are essential for a balanced, and polished appearance.
KNOW YOUR TOOLS
Magnification Matters
Invest in a good quality magnifying mirror for precise brow shaping. This allows you to see every subtle detail for a flawless finish.
The Power of Precision
Opt for a brow pencil with a fine tip, allowing you to mimic the look of natural brow hairs. VRAI's Brow Definer is a perfect choice!
The Multitasking Marvel
Every brow shaping kit needs a spoolie brush. This versatile tool helps groom brows, blend product, and create a natural, diffused effect. (The VRAI brush set for eyes includes a grooming spoolie and will release later this fall)
YOUR PERFECT SHAPE
The Golden Ratio
There's a science to brow shaping! Imagine a straight line from the outer corner of your nose to the inner corner of your eye. Where this line intersects your brow is the ideal starting point.
The Arch of Perfection
Extend that same line from the outer corner of your nose through your pupil. The point where it crosses your brow bone is the ideal location for your arch.
The Tailored Tail
Finally, extend the line from your nose's outer corner to the outer corner of your eye. The point where it meets your brow is the natural ending point for your brow.
You can mark each point with a small dot using your brow definer.
MASTERING THE TECHNIQUE
Less is More
Start by gently sketching your desired brow shape with short, feathery strokes. Remember, it's easier to add more color than remove it. Start first with focusing on capturing current brow hairs as this may be the desired definition you are looking for You can always go back and apply to the skin beneath the hairs for deeper definition or shape.
Embrace the Spoolie
Use the spoolie brush to blend and soften the lines, creating a natural, diffused effect. This ensures your brows appear natural, not drawn-on.
Tailored Refinement
Start with first focusing on capturing current brow hairs as this may be the desired definition you are looking to achieve. For a more defined look, use the tip of your brow pencil to fill in any sparse areas or refine the shape further by focusing on the skin beneath or around the brow to deepen the definition and shape.
Embrace Asymmetry
Brows are rarely perfectly symmetrical. Don't stress! Focus on creating brows that flatter your overall face shape.

VRAI pro-tip
Experiment with application techniques in the evening before your facial routine. This way, less than desired application is washed away rather than experimenting before heading out to start your day.
