Eyebrow shaping
The '15 minute face lift' - plucking your eyebrows can completely change your look. But remember the mantra 'less is more', and don't get overzealous with those tweezers.
Get the right shape
Find a shape that suits your face, and stick with it, don't try to keep up with fashions that won't suit you.
The inside edge of your eyebrow should align with the inner corner of your eye.
The arch of your eyebrow should follow the curve of your upper eyeline.
The easiest way to find how long your eyebrow should be is to imagine the under-eye line continued to where it would meet with the eyebrow.
Pluck-pluck-plucking
Do this the day before that hot date or you'll be left with unsightly redness.
Brush your brow into it's natural shape with a toothbrush, old mascara wand or eyebrow brush.
Hold a warm flannel over your brow to make it easier to pull the hairs.
Don't pluck above your eyebrows, it will look strange.
Don't over-pluck, or you'll have to draw them on and will end up looking permanently surprised.
Use sharp, good quality tweezers, or the hairs will break off instead of pulling out, which could lead to infection.
Do a single hair at a time. Grip the hair firmly and pull it in the direction in which it grows.
First take out any stray hairs in the middle bit above your nose. It will help you get used to the feeling of plucking the hair because it is usually less sensitive here than above the eyes.
If it really hurts, apply a little teething gel to the area a few minutes before you start. This will numb the skin.
Start plucking from underneath the eyebrow, working from the inside, by the nose, to the outside.
Check your brows balance in the mirror. Then use a cold flannel to reduce redness.
If in doubt
If you still don't feel brave enough or don't know where to start, go to a beautician's and get your brows waxed or sugared professionally. It should cost about a fiver and take minutes. Then you can just pluck the odd stray hair before going back and getting it done again.

go slow, and purely pluck from below the eyebrow. Pluck out only one row from the bottom and word the way it seems to start up, do not attempt to get for your very last eyebrow structure suddenly or you may want to pluck too skinny and be apologetic about it... also, for what structure the eyebrows must be, seem at quite some pictures of celebrities and such on line to get an theory what professional eyebrows seem as if. you possibly gained't discover what seems perfect on you actual now, however it enables once you've an theory what seems sturdy on maximum folk! some human beings seem more effective in very unusual eyebrows, like very skinny, no structure, with more effective area in between them, etc, yet start up with some thing established at first!

After a shower so the pours are open, pull up the eyebrow upwards which will show the hairs that need to be removed. Try using and angled tweezers (available at super drug) keep cleaning the tweezers as if they are full they don't work as well. Once you are done rinse your face in cold water to close pours. * Always remember Never to pluck from the top as these will grow back all wrong work from inside up*

i've always plucked stray eyebrow hairs after a hot shower, as the warmth would open up your pores, making the plucking less painful.
and to avoid over-plucking, use a concealer and "colour" the hairs you want to get rid it off. using the concealer helps as you don't over-do it and it allows you to see what shape you want your eyebrows to be.
cheers!

What's the best way tolook like an idiot? Probably by plucking your brows. If you are a man, don't bother. I don't know why women do it either. It's bloody obvious when they have and it looks ****. I did it once and it was awful.
