When the top and bottom lines of your brows don’t align, it can create what’s known as a “hooked brow” — where the arch appears too curved, inward, or heavy. But correcting this doesn’t mean harsh lines or overfilling. In this video, learn how to soften and balance a hooked brow shape while keeping the look light, natural, and beautifully lifted.
The key to fixing a hooked brow? Parallel lines. By matching the flow of the top and bottom lines (until they taper naturally at the tails), you create harmony and balance without losing the softness of your brows.
This tutorial walks through:
• Why parallel shaping from the bottom to the top is essential for correcting a hooked brow.
• How to add structure with hairlike strokes only where needed — especially in the centers where sparseness often occurs.
• The proper technique for creating soft, spaced strokes under the bottom line to lift and even out the shape. • Why it’s better to slightly overshoot and erase than fall short when balancing top and bottom lines.
• How to use pomade (instead of pencil) to backcomb and redirect brow hairs upward and outward, softening the top edge without heavy filling.
• Finishing with the Relume Cosmetics Bright Eyes highlighter to smooth, lift, and polish the overall shape for a cohesive, natural look.
Whether your hooked brow is the result of over-tweezing, natural hair growth patterns, or shaping errors, this method helps correct the curve while preserving softness and dimension — no harsh edges, just balanced, beautiful brows.
