Brow Shaping
There are hundreds of 'brow shaping' tutorials in the internet, but if you're a brow shaping novice, I recommend getting your brows professionally shaped. I have my eyebrows threaded and shaped twice a year, and I just maintain the shape by plucking stray hairs that have grown with a pair of tweezers.
I recommend threading rather than shaving as hair tends to grow faster if shaved and therefore tends to be more tedious to maintain. Although threading itself is painful, you tend to develop pain tolerance after a few sessions. Taking 1g of paracetamol 1 hour before may also help, or using an ice pack to numb the area.
Brow Trimming
Brow hair obviously grows and the sometimes can get too long. Most people develop a 'fan' on the inner aspect of their brows as the hairs stick out upwards. Best thing for these is to trim them yourself at home!
I use:

Spoolie (this is the spoolie end of a cheap eyebrow pencil I bought but never use)

Small eyebrow scissors - any small precise pair of scissors would also work

For the inner 2/3 of the brow medial to the brow arch, I brush brow hairs upwards using a spoolie, isolating the hair segments above an imaginary line from the inner part to the arch. I then trim hairs above this line.
For the outer 1/3, this is a bit more tricky. I brush the hairs downwards, trimming the segments below an imaginary boundary on the lower border of the brow.
Finding Your Brow Arch

This picture perfectly demonstrates how I find the start, brow arch, and outer ends of my brows. If you're new to this, I suggest getting a makeup pencil (eye pencil or lip pencil) to mark these points.
Start of Brows Take a straight object and draw a line from the outer part of your nose and crossing the inner corner of your eye. Trace this on your brow area. Pluck any hairs more medial to this.
Arch Look straight into a mirror, then take a straight object and line it from the outer part of your nostril, crossing your pupil, towards your brows. Place a mark where your line intersects with your brows.
End of Brows Take a straight object and draw a line from the outer part of your nose and crossing the outer corner of your eye. Trace this on your brow area. Pluck any hairs more lateral to this.
