One of our editors recently admitted that she shaved her brows with a razor in high school. Result: upper-eye caterpillars.

In hopes of helping others avoid similar mistakes, we asked NYC-based makeup artist Annamarie Tendler to show us the right way to tame our arches in today’s video. In addition to good tweezers, she recommends using a white eye pencil to establish shape.

While we had her, we also asked her to demo her method for a cat eye with liquid liner. It takes a bit of practice, but the final product will make your eyes look noticeably bigger.

And keep you from bugging out.
