How to Tweeze Your Eyebrows

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Tweezing your eyebrows is one of the most dramatic way to change your face without makeup or surgery. It can make your eyes look larger and give your face a clean, polished look.


Steps:
1. 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 when tweezing eyebrows 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 remove the hairs below the brow; never shape your brow by plucking above it. Pluck only one hair at a time.

7. Start tweezing your eyebrows in the middle of the eyebrow and tweeze toward the outer end; then go back to the middle and tweeze 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 tweezed brows.

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

Habitual tweezing of your eyebrows may make some hairs stop growing permanently, so pluck with caution.

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

Eyebrow tweezing by Hayley W
Always grasp the hair as close to the root as possible. The further away from the root you grasp, the more it hurts. Hold the skin down and pull slowly in the opposite direction to the tweezers. This also reduces pain, as well as the risk of ingrown hairs. If you yank the tip of the hair with the tweezers without supporting the skin, you risk snapping the hair just below the skins surface. This is one of the causes of ingrown hair. Exfoliate the skin regularly with a gentle exfoliant, it helps prevent ingrown hairs also. Be sure both skin and hair are dried before tweezing (skin is more sensitive when it is wet). A heat pad is ideal to prepare the skin. Failing that, use a hot flannel and dry off before tweezing.

u should get a white eye/lip pencil and trace a line under your brows where you want your arch to be, then color in all the hairs below the line and pluck ONLY the white hairs...Voila!!! clean,arched brows..FIRST make sure you brush your brows upward(if it hurts while tweezing, rub ice over you brows to numb them before you start) and when you pluck, spread the area flat with thethumb and index finger to prevent the pulling of your skin.

Answer 4

Draw an invisible line from the edge of your nose past the outside corner of your eye. Continue the line up to your brow to determine the outside ending point.

The inside of your brow should be lined up with the inside corner of your eye.

The highest part of your brow's arch should be at the outer edge of your iris

i suggest going to the department store...go to benefit's eyebrow bar. they are complete pros at this. i mean, just dish out the twenty or less bucks and they will just tell you exactly how to "tweeze" your eyebrows. after that you'll never have to go back because they just showed you the tricks of the trade for your brows.

"you tweeze eyebrows...you pluck chickens" that's what my make up teachers always told me...so it stuck.

Answer 6

i had my eyebrows done by that threading thing, and its really really good. first i was nervous because they might be too thin, but just tell them you want a natural shape and it'll turn out looking good. then just maintain your eyebrows and just follow the shape they did. its only for $13 and you'll be satisfied.

Answer 7

push your eyebrow up, all of it. any stray hairs, pluck em. DONT GO OVERBOARD. I had the smallest eyebrows for a long time and had to colour em in for YEARS.

Answer 8

try this , go to a salon and get them professionally done. so they will look great,then after a few days when the hair start to grow back just retrace what the stylist did.

Answer 9

pluck away just shape them they way you want and go with that
