If she's not eating Indomee & hotdog, you can see her working out in her Muay Thai gym.

With all non-essential services like our facial and eyebrow threading shops that are closed temporarily, there have been many memes on the Internet of ladies with overgrown gel nails, untouched eyebrows that are growing towards one another. I'm pretty sure most of us can relate to this especially with the extended circuit breaker.

Using an eyebrow pencil, draw a line to mark the start and end of your eyebrows depending on your nose width. This helps to ensure that you do not trim the extra edges of your brows, as you might end up trimming more hair than needed, causing your face to look bigger.

#2 Fill in your brows

Using an eyebrow pencil, fill up your brows.

#3 Use a spoolie to comb up your brows

Remember not to comb down your brow hair but instead comb it up when trimming to the top edge of the brow. By combing your brow hair and trimming it down instead of up, it will make your eyes look smaller somehow.

#4 Trim the edges of your eyebrow closest to your nose

Using an eyebrow trimmer, trim the other end of your eyebrow hair that's closest to your ears.

#6 Trim the lower end of your eyebrow

Using an eyebrow trimmer, use your hands to pull up the skin between the brows and your eyes if you have any hair that's growing nearer to your eyes.

#7 Use a tweezer to get rid of those leftover hairs that are harder to trim

Using a tweezer, pull out the leftover hair. Make sure to pluck each hair in the direction of growth so that you can swiftly remove the entire strand.

#8 Use a spoolie and brow scissors to trim the remaining hair

Using a spoolie and brow scissors, comb up the brow hair according to how the hair is growing. Hold the additional hair up with the spoolie while using another hand to trim the additional hair away. Next, use a cotton bud and water to clean up the brows that are left on the face.
