Brow shaping/mapping is one of the most frustrating aspects of PMU.
Because of the artistry involved, everyone will have a different approach. That's what makes it beautiful yet complicated at the same time.
To me, it's like a puzzle and every face presents it's own variety of challenges.
Factors like bone structure, muscle movement, hair growth, personal preference...the list goes on and on.
The goal in brow shaping is to train your eye to see the ideal shape for someones unique facial features. No tool can do this for you.
Here are 4 tricks I use everyday in my studio that help me find the optimal shape for my clients in the quickest amount of time.
Thank you for this Lisa! ♥️ You are an inspiration! A lot of times, I use the ruler to find my clients’ points B and C. I’m glad I’m not the only one. I thought I was weird and was afraid to admit it LOL 😃. I agree, raising the brows and squinting REALLY help determining symmetry. I didn’t realize how important it is to take a video with the brow design. And after brow mapping, I will definitely ask my clients to stand up next time. Thank you for sharing your tips. Ive learned something new. Thank you for taking your time to have this video up. I am forever grateful ♥️ I do videos too and it takes a lot of time and effort.
allstuffnice Thank you so much! Yes, the face is so dynamic and far from a flat piece of paper. The video helps it visualize how the facial movement changes the brow shape.
The key is to train your eye to see the overall balance! ❤️
I do not even understand why you do not have thousands of likes. I have never seen anyone explain brow mapping better than you just have. I have been at tons of training. This is so natural, so personalized. I loved it. Thank you!!!!!
Thanks Agnes! That means so much. Im so glad you got value from it! More to come soon =)
Yasss!!! finally!! A MUA and a PMU applied the same principles in getting browshapes! that is also my concern because I am a MUA, and our brow mapping has been tested before. not eyeballing the measures, but giving it a personalized shape in regards to the clients facial structure!! awesome!! more videos here!! I am a new in PMU so I would love to follow you and your awesome tips!❤️❤️
Yas girl! That's exactly what I mean about mapping tools can be helpful but can't be be relied on exclusively start to finish. Every shape is custom to the client and involves more factors than just numbers and measurements. For me, it's the artistry aspects that makes the process so fun and exciting. A little tweek here...little adjustment there can legit change the whole look! Thanks for the follow, make sure to join the PMU Secrets Facebook group too if you haven't already.
More videos to come I promise. ❤
when those red x's popped up!! lol I yelled. That has been me. OMG hahah
We've all been there girl! Shaping brows can def drive you nuts sometimes...but sooo rewarding getting it right!
Wow, Lisa, loves your way to how to mapping eyebrows! We appreciate you taking your time share your tips and tricks to us! Can’t wait to see your next video! 🌸🌸❤️❤️😘😘💕💕
Thanks Cho!
I LOVE this video. It's straight-forward, very professional, and adds just the right amount of humor. I'm subscribed!!
Hey Rebecca so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the sub, more content in the works!
Yaasssssss!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 This is an amazing video!! love how in depth it is! Soooo many good tricks I’m gonna try now! Thank you Lisa🖤 You’re a gem😘
Let me know how it goes! ❤️
Wow! You explained the mapping process better than anyone I’ve watched on UA-cam! Thank you 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you Devan, glad to hear it was helpful for you!!
So well done! Thanks so much for the amazing tips and tricks! I’ll immediately be implementing these for my next clients. Love the editing and the arrows imposed too. Super helpful!
Thanks luv! Let me know how it goes! 😊
Thanks very much Lisa 🙌🏻✌️🙏 we waited for this, YOU ARE AWESOME, 🤗😍😘
zelia Santos Thanks for being patient 😆. Your support means the world
I love the way you explain brow mapping. I started to follow your instructions. Love it. Thank you so much!
Thanks Jay! I love hearing that it all made sense for you and was helpful! Keep practicing and pretty soon it'll all just start coming together and you'll notice your artistry is one of the major things that sets you apart from anyone else in the biz. ❤
Thank you Lisa ❤️I had my training several months ago, spending crazy money and I did not learn that much as I was watching your video. Explained really well in details. I really appreciate for your time and support for new PMU Artists ❤. Thank you 🥰
Hey Jurate! I'm so glad to hear this was able to help fill some of the missing pieces! Sometimes just hearing something explained in a different way is so helpful. Keep practicing and taking it one day at a time. Before you know it you'll be able to map clients with your eyes closed! 💖
Thanks for sharing! As a long time mua, this technique really speaks to me. Beautiful work.
Thanks Laurel! Im so glad you found it helpful
Also this video is amazing! I can’t wait to try these tips!!! Thank you!
Thanks Tamera, let me know how it goes!
You are amazing 😭. I struggled so much using all the tools that I was taught to use on pmu school but can do pretty good brows with just a pencil in 15 minutes. Sticking to the techinque by 100% while having to use ALL the tools was so annoying and stressing.
Watching you make a mix of both(tools and your own hands) has made me understand brow mapping so much better. I'll start using your techinque from now on.
Hey Alexandra thanks for your comment! I was the same way! I found it just so annoying and frustrating using string. I'm all for tools if they can help an artist get to their initial shape faster, but in the end I believe it always comes down to training/trusting your eye to create a shape that in unique to the client. Its those extra steps and extra artistry that goes into custom brow design and end up making your results stand out above the rest!
Glad this video resonated and gave you permission to create your own technique that allows your creativity and artistic style to shine through! ❤❤❤
I love your detailed explanation!!!I have not come across someone that explains like you 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Kaka! Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much! Best video by FAR.
Wow, thanks! Glad to hear you found it helpful Brianna!
THE BEST brow mapping video on social media to date!!! Thank u thank u 🙏🏼 thank u!!!!
Wow, thank you so much Jennifer! That means a lot!
Wow!!! Thank you for this tutorial. I feel like there’s not enough of these real situations that happen while brown mapping. Thank you so much truly appreciate it. !
Thanks Jessica glad it was helpful! More to come!
Thank you so much. Because I struggle between the the makeup artistry in me and abiding by the sticky ruler
Tools are great to get a quick and basic shape to work with. The artistry is what gets you to the perfect flattering shape for each individual client.
IMO overuse and reliance on tools becomes a crutch that limits an artist's ability to let their skill and creativity shine.
Thank you so much for making this video. I am a new PMU artist and your video was so informational. Beautiful job on her brows!! 💗💗💗
Thanks Cathy Im glad it was helpful!
I’ve watched so many videos and yours is so good. Thank you for bringing us your knowledge.

Rosa Santiago Thank you!
One of the best eyebrow tutorials that I've seen! 👍
Wow, thank you so much!
This is the MOST DESCRIPTIVE brow mapping micro blading etc i have ever seen. Wish everyone could he this thorough. We need u in NYC. I wanna try this but nervous about the artist may make me look like a clown.
Hey Bronx thank you babe! I'm so happy to hear you found it helpful! Lots more videos to come. If you haven't joined our PMU Secrets Facebook group def check that out as well for a ton of info and support to help get you started in the right direction.
Thank you again Lisa! Enjoyed this very much!
puleDressDesigns Glad you got value from it! 🤗
When you whipped out that ruler I hit like and subscribed. When I was in school I asked if I could use a ruler bc it seemed so simple. The string is SO MESSY and so widely used!
This is such a wonderful video. Please continue to create content and not click baity stuff that is out there. This was so great! No other PMU on YT even comes close.
YES girl! I was/am always the one in class wanting to do it differently! I know some great artists who love it, but the string was always just too awkward, messy, and overly complicated for me. The beauty of artistry is it doesn't matter what route you take to create a beautiful result!
Thanks so much for the feedback and words of encouragement. Definitely more videos to come (I have so much great content to edit/upload). In the meantime, make sure to join our free group and check out the "guides" section posted there (link in the description of this vid).
@@lisale_brows okay cool I’ll def join. I am having trouble with retention and color packing. Like sometimes I just cause trauma and no color goes in. Idk if it’s my angle? Speed? That may be a good video. I’ll join the group.
Beautiful job! I really noticed the difference in using the nose bridge instead of the outer side of the nose for where to begin her brows! What a difference! You certainly have a good eye!
That's great to hear Roberta! Really happy this helped with your mapping!
Wow! Thanks for sharing these amazing tricks/tips! Love and respect your work. There are few PMU artists out there that customize brow shapes according to their client's face, bone structure and lifestyle.
Lisa can u please list what concealer n brow pencils u use? Thx
vmata3 It’s just a “China pencil”. There’s different brands you can find everywhere (amazon is easy).
The brand doesn’t matter much to me tbh. I find I prefer pencils that are a little more on the dry side and not as waxy.
For concealer I just look for 3 different shades of brown I can blend to match the clients skin. I like concealer with a creamy consistency that’s not too runny but not thick like paste.
Try a few different options out and see what works best for you! 💜
Thank you so much this video was the best I’ve come accross!
You're so welcome Audrey, glad it was helpful! Thank you for letting me know!
❤ Your very knowledgeable. Easy to understand.
This is very clever and well thought out advice 👏, thankyou I will definitely be taking some notes here. Would love to see more of you
Awesome! Thank you Helen! Make sure to sub, big things coming for this channel latter this year ❤
Thank you Lisa. This was excellent!
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing tutorial!! Thank you. Love the sweet voice as well.
Thank you Carleen! Actually I get really nervous and hate hearing my voice on camera...but I'm pushing myself to get used to it!
This is amazing! I am a MUA and esthetician, and I was wondering why I did not like the tools, but youve just explained why. The artistry! I will continue to only use my calipers to measure symmetry
Thanks Elle glad it was helpful! I feel that the artistry aspect is a huge missing link for a lot of PMU trainers. The goal should be to create artists, not technicians. More content to come soon!
Lisa Le I couldn’t agree more! I used your mapping technique and my client was beyond pleased! She complimented how well they matched her bone structure! That was confirmation along with finding your video! I look forward to more content! I agree we are artist with a machine! 💗💗💗
O my! You made this look so simple!!!
Time and practice luv! You're in the right mindset getting out there and getting your research on!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.🙏🏼
Happy to!

Omg I am definitely going to try the ruler- the thread is sooo messy- Thanks
I agree! Many artists love using the string but I find it to be a lot more cumbersome and messy. Let me know how it goes with the ruler!
Wow!Using the ruler is a great tool!
Def give it a try! Sometimes its just a matter of keeping it simple and not over complicating!
Great Video Lisa , You explain it so well and its a great and useful video. Thank you for sharing your methode . I hope more video's of you will be followed. Your method is so good and helpfull.
Thanks Saskia! So glad it was helpful for you. Many more to come!
Omg you’re spot on easy, thank you
Thanks Sadie! You’re so welcome 😊
This is a game changer for me. I don’t like the charcoal thread at all! I’m going to go to your ruler method. ❤️
Awesome! Let me know how it goes!
Very good video, I can learn some on that
That seemed like a easy way to mapping,, it looked perfect when you were done ✅
Thanks Rhonda!
So helpful, thank you for sharing your tips and tricks :) i took a very expensive micro shading class and they didn’t cover all of the things you did.
Thank you Sonia, I'm really glad to hear you found it helpful!! If you're not already part of our Facebook group, definitely check it out for a ton more support and info. Link is in the description of this video!
Great info! Thanks so much !
Hi Marzena, you are so welcome! Glad it was helpful!
I love this video straight forward
Thanks Qaisara, happy to help! ❤
I love this thank you so much!
You're so welcome Paulina!
What an excellent well made video! Thank you for sharing your expertise and explaining these important aspects of brow mapping.
Can I ask how you properly clean your brushes used for the concealer?
Thanks Dana!
Most makeup brush cleaners are antibacterial, but just as a precaution I clean my brushes with a germicidal solution called Envirocide. The contact time is about 2 minutes to ensure microorganisms like Hep B and HIV are killed.
Omg this trick using a ruler with ink is perfect. I just took am ombre brow 2 day class using that ink string & it's a mess... thank you for making this video
You are so welcome! I'm a huge believer that there is no one "right" way to create art. It's all about whatever helps you feel comfortable to allow your creativity and artistry to flourish. I know there are some amazing pmu artists who love using the string to map...not for me! 😉
Great video!! Thank you
Thanks Jennifer! Happy to help! ❤
Literally been watching so many different ppl all day doing powdered brows n I am 100% sure u are my favorite , your straight forward and everything you said makes so much sense! Do you have an ig? Do you do courses?

Lisa, you never did anymore videos here? I so sad as you explained this, better than I've seen ever! I want to learn ombre from you too
Hi Fifi, thanks for the feedback! I'm so glad to hear it made sense and was able to help. I'm working on an online PMU coaching program I'm super excited about (it's the best training I've ever put together). Once the program is finished I'll be posting a lot more here on UA-cam!
Thank you this is 2021 I came across this and it is very helpful wishing you would come out with one with you doing the brow ❤😊
Glad it was helpful! Be sure to subscribe, Ill be adding a lot more videos later this year.
@@lisale_brows Thank you 😊🙏
Love your approach
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Looks beautiful 😍
Thank you!
This is awesome! Thanks sweety :)
You're welcome luv!
Thx for posting. I’m ur new subbie
Thanks Andrea!
Great Great Great tutorial!!
Thanks so much Mary! Glad you liked it!
Love 💕 this video! For some reason it’s so much easier this way. Thank you! How do I keep my brow mapping after the numbing cream?
You're so welcome! I've really focused on developing my technique to be super gentile to the skin yet still push as much saturation as needed. This allows me to use anesthetic very sparingly and dont often need to pre-numb. I do this for several reasons - which I think would be a great topic for a future video. One benefit is I dont run into any issue with losing my shape.
@@lisale_brows I would love to see more videos from you ♥️
Hi Lisa! Love the video so much. Thanks for the great tips. What is the pencil you are using? xx
Thanks Nika! The brand isn’t real important to me. You can find these “china pencils” on amazon. I prefer pencils that are a little more dry and not as waxy. Try out a couple different brands and see what you find works best for you!
Hope this helps! 💜
FINALLY!! A video that addresses all the questions I’ve had as an artist!!! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for!! Please keep showing mistakes and how to correct, tips and tricks!! Omg!!! I’m definitely subscribing!!!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thank you Ashli!! Much more to come!
@@lisale_brows thank you for this amazing video I was so excited to subscribe but see this is the only video you have maybe you have another channel?
I love this video, thank you! Did you do an ombré brow for her and how long in today did you book for this guest?
Thanks Joanna! Yes, I specialize in ombre powder brows and it's all I prefer to offer at my studio as I feel it leads to the best results for the vast majority of clients. I book out 2 hours for new clients - 30min each side for the procedure, 30min shaping, and 30min extra for photos, aftercare instruction, etc.
Hi! I loved this video! I’m a beginner in microblading and so Just a few minutes before watching this I was looking up on Amazon for a caliper! But okay I understand how one brow bone being more prominent so exactly what did you change to make it perfect for the final outcome? I can slightly tell but i just want to make sure! Thanks so much and loved it ☺️
I'm so glad it was helpful for you!
The first step was to decide which shape was best suited for the client. Taking into account her lifestyle and makeup preference we decided on the more conservative shape (her left brow).
Next I started to slowly adjust the right brow to be more like the left by bringing the arch down a bit and building up slightly on the bottom line. This made the right brow appear a little less dramatic and more complimentary to the left brow's conservative style we were shooting for.
Lastly, I had her raise her brows, squint, and smile. The goal is to balance the shape around her natural movement (we move our brows A LOT in our everyday interactions). As you can see in the video, her left brow was a tiny bit higher when she raised her brows, yet it was a little lower when she squinted. This is the balance I was looking for. If one brow was higher when raising AND still higher when squinting I would have adjusted my shape little by little to bring it into alignment.
Hope this helps!
Thank You!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You are so welcome!
Lisa please make more videos! I just love your vibe, you're so sweet. Love being part of your Facebook group! You're such a cool chick!
Thank you Mickey, that is so kind of you! Super happy to hear that you enjoyed this little tutorial and were able to learn some useful info from how I approach shaping!
I have a ton more content being edited now so I'll be uploading a lot more frequently here on YT soon and adding a bunch of exciting things to the group. Feel free to tag me in the group if you ever have questions or need help! 💖
Amazing 🥰
Thanks Shun! 🤗
Omgg this is AMAZING!! Came here from your Facebook group :) !!
What concealer do you like to use?
Thanks Lilly I hope you're getting a ton of value from the group!!
For concealer, the brand isn’t super important to me. What I look for is just a nice creamy texture that’s not runny and not too thick. You can usually tell just by looking at the tester for whatever brand you have your eye on. I like to keep 3 different shades of brown in my shaping station ranging from light to medium-dark which allows me to easily create a custom color to match any skin tone.
Hope this helps and always feel free to tag me in the group with any questions! 💜
Super informal
Love!
Hi Lisa! Tham was an amazing video! Can I ask you please 🙏 Can I use this method for microblading as well and also do numb the brows before that? Thank you so much for your help ❤️
Hey luv, thank you for the feedback! I'm not a microblading artist but this should give you a great overall shape to base your hair strokes. I numb after I shape the client.
Hope that helps!
wow a ruler.... GENIUS.
Thanks girl! For me the string was kinda just cumbersome and unnecessarily messy. Curious to hear back how you like the ruler!
Omg life saver
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. Can you tell me what brand brow pencil and concealer you used?
Jemalyn Ganotisi The brand isn’t real important to me. You can find these “china pencils” on amazon. I prefer pencils that are a little more dry and not as waxy, but use whatever you find works best for you.
What I look for in a concealer is just a nice creamy texture that’s not runny and not too thick.
Hope this helps! 💜
Lisa Le Thanks for replying!
Great tips
Thanks Teri!

Awesome video
Thanks Jessica!
Hi, I really love how you explain things. I would like to know, once you have done this, how do you do the actual work (in case of micropigmentatio), do you otline the brow and if so, what do you use for outlining? I used a marker and somehow it messed with my perception of the brow. Do you erase the pencil work if you do micropigmentation?
Hi Toni, glad it was helpful! Yes, I use a q-tip dipped in alcohol to remove the pencil and concealer before I tattoo. I work across the brow in small sections (about the width of a q-tip) startign at the tail and get a very light outline using a 1RL. Marker is hard because it may smudge or become distorted.
Hope this helps!
Hi! So you do a small outline first then erase with a tip? I don’t think I’d be able to wipe then remember where exactly the makeup was before wiping
Genius!!
Glad to hear you found it helpful!!
Can you make another video with another model just as a recap? I loved this video but wanted to see how you fixed it?
Hi Alaina! Defiantly. I think mapping is one of those things that requires studying and practicing on lots of different face/brow shapes. I'm really looking forward to doing more of these videos showing the how specific things get to each individual face.
The process I go through to fix the imbalances is basically whats shown here in the video. I visualize the imperfections first by sitting them up, standing them up, having them make different facial expressions, and taking photos/videos. Once I see where the imbalances are I can start to fix them by adding or removing tiny bits here and there to change the overall shape whether it be length, thickness, arch, etc. The goal is finding the balance across all the positions and movement. Then I repeat the process of visualization again.
Hope that helps!
Lisa! You're amazing thank you for sharing your technique.. I'm new to doing PMU. And I have a hard time doing the mapping and when inapply num cream on.. When I wipe them off my outline is coming off too.. What would you suggest on pencil or anything please?🙏
Thanks! If you're having trouble losing your shape I suggest wiping only a small vertical section and tattooing a feint outline. Then repeat with another small section until you work your way across the entire brow. Hope that helps!
the best video wow
Thanks Anita! 🙏❤
So agree!
