Whether you prefer your brows to look perfectly shaped or full and bushy, chances are you still need some time to let them grow back to their full potential before getting them groomed. We recommend hiding your tweezers (one makeup artist once told us to put them in the fridge where you'll forget about them) and not touching them for at least three months to allow the hairs to grow back. If you've over-tweezed your brows and want them to grow back to their natural shape, we regret to inform you that it will take a lot longer than that — most brow technicians say at least a year to see optimum results.
When it comes to brow grooming, if you're thinking of doing something a little more permanent, like microblading, look at getting this done five months before you walk down the aisle. This allows plenty of time for your brows to heal.
The timing differs if you prefer to pluck, thread, wax, or tint your brows. "The best time to get your brows done is a week prior to the big day, which gives your skin enough time to settle and be ready for that perfect makeup application on the big day," say makeup artist and Benefit brow expert, Lauren Hogsden.
