You should avoid plucking above the eyebrow as it goes against the natural shape of it. It makes it difficult to maintain and, I suppose, can maybe make it look 'overdone'.

How To Shape Your Eyebrows:
To determine exactly where your brow should begin, hold a makeup brush or a pencil straight up and down against one nostril. Where the pencil lands by your brow is where it should begin. The brow should end a little past your eye (if it grows down too far it will drag your eyes down). If you have a natural arch, work with it. If you need to create one, look into your eyes. The arch of your eyebrow should fall directly above the outside of your iris. Using an eyebrow pencil, fill in the brow area that you want to preserve so you can pluck outside the edges.
A. Take a thin make up brush and place it at the side of your nose straight up and down. Where this line ends near the brow, your brow should start from there.
B. Take the same make up brush and angle it from the nose to the pupil while looking straight ahead. Your arch generally peaks where the make up brush meets your brow.
C. Again take the make up brush and angel it from the nose to the outside of the corner of the eye. This is where your brow should end. It should never drag below this area either or it can drag your eyes down.
Hope this helps, ws x

I'd advise getting them waxed too, gives you a nice shape which you can then try to maintain.
They can also advise on things such as whether you're overplucking them and it you get a good beautician then they will often give you some tips while they're doing it and can show you how to do it properly.
If not you could ask if for a little extra money they could give you a private lesson in how to do it properly.

Hi pwincesh. You CAN pluck random stray hairs above your eyebrow but don�t pluck anything else. Try not to pluck too much from the bridge of the nose either, and retain as much of the thickness of your eyebrows near the nose as possible.
Just so you know, thicker eyebrows are in this year!
Oh, and I buy eyebrow waxing strips from Boots. Saves time and plucking. :o)

Yeah this is true .I am a beauty therapist and i have had many clients like this i would not recommend plucking above as this goes against the natural shape and can also cause you to overpluck and cause the hair to grow in differnet directions.
What i would advise you to do is to get them waxed as it is a good way to maintain your shape and will b less time consuming then plucking .
If you would prefer to pluck rather than wax i would ask help form a beautician that way if you are unsure the beautician will show you what you are doing wrong and how to do it properly.
