Eyebrow Tweezing Tips

Eyebrow Tweezing is, by far, the best method to shape eyebrows and to remove fine facial hair. Here are some Tweezing Tips

1. Tweeze eyebrow immediately after showering or apply a hot washcloth to loosen hair follicles.

2. Hold a pencil vertically along the side of the nose. Eyebrow should start at outside edge if pencil. Hint: Leaving a bit more space will widen close-set eyes.

3. Hold pencil to outside of eye. This is where the eyebrow should end.

4. Smooth brows with a little moisturizer to help hairs slide out.

5. Brush eyebrows up to find a natural arch.

6. Draw in the desired shape beforehand with a soft eye shadow pencil.

Hint: Don't use an eyeliner pencil. It will cause you to pluck too much.

7. Tweeze under the eyebrow first, plucking in the direction of the growth.

Hint: If your plucking becomes too painful, apply a little anbesol (yes, that pain reliever for teeth also numbs the brows)

8. Using an eyelash comb, comb brows upwards and trim any hairs that extend beyond the natural top or brow bone.

9. After tweezing, soothe the area with cool, wet tea bags.

Eyebrow Tweezing - Tweeze those excess hairs

Working from underneath the brow to even up and clean up the line. Does the line of the natural brow stops short of the outside corner?

No problem. Use a freshly sharpened eyebrow pencil to draw a thin, delicate line to extend the browline to the outside of the eye. Blur the color, lightly with a fingertip.

If you are prone to redness or swelling after you tweeze, rub an ice cube over the brow to relieve any irritation. Remember that brows should always be groomed outward and upward.
