Eyebrow Tweezing: To decrease the torture, numb the eyebrow area first either with a baby’s teething pain preparation or numbing toothache preparation or perhaps a little ice.

* The hair may be softened first with a hair conditioner or shaving cream.

* Steam your eyebrows with a hot washcloth for five minutes or tweeze right after a hot shower to open the pores so the hair comes out smoother.

* Spend the extra money to buy a professional pair of tweezers so you have a clean, sharp pair each time. If you are serious about tweezing, buying a first-rate quality pair is imperative.

* Use natural light if feasible.

* First clean up the area between the eyebrows by plucking any stray hairs.

* Pull the skin taut and remove hairs as close as achievable to the root.

* Pluck in the direction of the growth. Don’t go againist.

* contour your eyebrows by plucking from the bottom instead than from above to achieve a natural arch.

* To close the pores of the skin after plucking, apply an astringent or soothe irritated skin by using warm petroleum jelly.

Shaping Your Eyebrows: 3 Steps

1. First thin the eyebrow, then gradually define the arch. The arch ought to reach the highest point above the middle of the iris.

2. To decide where the eyebrows should begin and end, hold a pencil vertically against the nose. Wherever the pencil meets the eyebrow above the nose should be the starting position.

3. Next, with the pencil still held against the nose, tilt it diagonally so that it lines up with the outside corner of the eye. That is the outer point where the eyebrow should come to an end.

Altering the Shape Of Your Eyebrows

* To avoid tweezing into a form you later regret, first use a white eyeliner pencil to color in the areas under your eyebrows which you think should be plucked.

* If you don’t like the outline, remove the white eyeliner and redraw. Once your are happy with the shape, pluck the hairs in the white area.
