For Basic Brow Mapping, the eyebrows are measured using three fixed points. This simple, but highly effective, method is great for:

Clients with well-defined eyebrows, where hardly any change is necessary
Regular clients, for maintenance between appointments

You will need:

• Micellar Eye Makeup Remover
• Refectocil Browista Brush
• White Brow Mapping Pencil

Preparation

1 Cleanse the eye area thoroughly with RefectoCil Micellar Eye Make-up Remover.

2 Dry the eye area and brush the eyebrows upwards with the spoolie before application.

3 Measure 3 points using the RefectoCil brush. Mark them with the Brow Mapper by drawing 2 cm long lines above the eyebrow.

Measure & Mark

4 Beginning of the eyebrow: Hold the brush to the nostril — this is where the eyebrow begins.

5 End of the eyebrow: Hold the pencil at an angle from the wing of the nose to the outer corner of the eye — this is where the eyebrow ends.

6 The highest point: Hold the brush diagonally over the eye, through the outer edge of the pupil — this is where the arch begins.

Using these marking points, you can colour and style the eyebrows in the correct shape.

For our advanced method, we are creating a more precise shape with the help of coloured thread and individual fixed points. The aim is to create a "template" for waxing/tweezing and tinting. This method is best for:

New clients, for a detailed analysis of their current brow and to ensure they are happy with their new shape prior to hair removal
Clients with a strongly asymmetrical eyebrow shape that needs correcting
When a complete remodel of the current brow shape is desired

You will need:

• Micellar Eye Makeup Remover
• Refectocil Browista Brush
• White Brow Mapping Pencil
• Brow Thread or Sewing Thread

Preparation

1 Cleanse the eye area thoroughly with RefectoCil Micellar Eye Make-up Remover.

2 Dry the eye area and brush the eyebrows upwards with the spoolie before application.

3 Shorten a thin thread and pass it over the RefectoCil Brow Mapper until dyed white. You can also use Pre-Inked Brow Mapping String — we prefer colouring our own for the flexibility. 😎

Measure & Mark

4 Place the thread in the centre of the bridge of the nose and extend the line.

5 Mark the beginning of the brow by placing the taut thread vertically upwards over the brow starting at the nostril.

6 Repeat the process on the second eyebrow.

7 Mark the optimal brow length by placing the thread at: 1) lip heart 2) outer nose wing 3) outer corner of the eye.

8 Repeat the process on the other side.

9 Mark the highest point of the brow: 1) outer wing of the nose 2) through the outer edge of the pupil 3) over the eyebrow.

10 Repeat the process on the other side.

11 Place the thread horizontally under the brow to measure the lowest point of the brow.

12 Place the thread horizontally and above the beginning of the brow to mark the width of the brow.

13 Place the thread on the lower line and stretch it over the highest point of the eyebrow.

14 Repeat the process on the other side.

15 Place the thread on the upper line and stretch it over the highest point of the brow.

16 Repeat the process on the other side.

17 Place the thread on the upper edge at the end of the brow and mark the lowest point of the brow arch.

18 Place the thread on the lower edge at the end of the brow and mark the lowest point of the brow arch.

19 Repeat the process on the other side.

20 Repeat the process on the other side.

21 Stretch the thread horizontally over the two highest points of the brow to check if the height of both eyebrows match.

Colour

22 We now have a template for our brow shape! Adjust the subtleties (curve, width, etc.) depending on your client.

23 Colour as usual with RefectoCil Brow Tints.

24 Allow tint to develop for 8 – 10 minutes.

Shape & Care

25 Gently wipe off the colour with a damp cotton pad. This leaves the lines visible for shaping.

Remove hair outside the lines using Tweezers or Berodin Blue Hot Wax.

After shaping, wipe off colour residue and lines with RefectoCil Eye Make-up Remover (if tweezing). If waxing, remove tint residue and lines using Lavender Antiseptic Lotion instead.

26 Use a clean brush or disposable mascara wand to apply Styling Gel to the brows. Providing the perfect finish, the unique colour protect formula conditions the brows and provides longer-lasting colour!
