2) Keep the curve natural around the arch, dont go for sharp angles since they look very unnatural and artificial.

3) Ensure that both the brows are shaped symmetrically, else it will look skewed.

4) Apply some hair spray on your eyebrows before shaping since it will hold the eyebrow hair in place and make it easy to thread the brows. Also apply some cooling agent like astringent since it will reduce the pain due to its cooling properties and numbness.
