i need tips on plucking my eyebrows.....?

Question

I have never plucked my own eyebrows but they need it really bad. I dont wanna do it and mess it up. Any tips???

Answer 1

Get them professionally waxed - it's the best way to go.

Answer 2

Pluk your brows right after a shower the steam opens your pores and it cuts down alot on the pain.
Sit near a window to get the best light.

2. Wash the area thoroughly so it's not oily.

3. Decide what shape you want for your eyebrows. Styles change: It may help to flip through fashion magazines for ideas.

4. Draw in a brow line on your eyebrow with a brow pencil to serve as a guide. Follow the brow's natural line by conforming to the curve of your upper eyelid.

5. Pull the skin at the outer end of the eyebrow taut against the brow bone, and use the brow bone as an additional guide.

6. Use a pair of angled eyebrow tweezers to pluck the hairs below the brow; never shape your brow by plucking above it. Pluck only one hair at a time.

7. Start plucking in the middle of the eyebrow and pluck toward the outer end; then go back to the middle and pluck toward the nose. Your brows should extend a little beyond each corner of your eye.

8. Use a cotton ball or pad soaked in pure tea tree oil or witch hazel to soothe your plucked brows.

Tips:
Consider having your brows waxed once professionally to get exactly the shape you want. You can then pluck the strays as they grow in.

Habitual plucking may make some hairs stop growing permanently, so pluck with caution.

There are tweezers on the market that are specially designed for plucking eyebrows. They cost a bit more but make the experience less painful.

Go to ehow.com. They have a great article about how to pluck your eyebrows. Or, what I usually do when I want to find out how to do something is "google it".

Go to google.com, type in "how to" pluck your eyebrows. Lots of different articles from tons of websites should come up in the search results.

Answer 4

I would recommend you go to a reputable salon and have them waxed this first time. They will shape them for you so you have something to go by. After that you can choose to keep going and having them waxed or you can maintain them yourself by tweezing. If you do tweeze them yourself be sure to pull the skin nice and tight and then pluck. Otherwise you risk breaking the hair off half way and it looks like stubble. Good luck!

Answer 5

yes! try getting them done at a waxing salon. I would highly recommend ulta! they will shape them and your eyebrows will look great. Then you can pluck the hairs that come back.

Answer 6

i don't recomment plucking. if you decide one day you don't want to do that anymore, you're eyebrow hairs grow back in weird. but, if you must change ur eyebrows, get them waxed. they make sure they're a nice shape, and it's much less painful. :0)

Answer 7

stop before they're all plucked out... nothing worse than overplucked eyebrows on a woman.

Answer 8

PUT A COLD CLOTH ON THE AREA THAT NEEDS PLUCKING...HOLD SKIN TAUGHT AND PULL OUT IN DIRECTION THAT HAIR GROWS...PUT COLD CLOTH ON AFTER PLUCKING ..THEN APPLY A SOOTHING FACE CREAM

Answer 9

If you hold a pencil or something skinny against the side of your nose and line it up with the inner corner of your eye, where it falls on your brow is the recommended inner end/edge of your brow.
