I am trying to pluck my eyebrows, but it hurts just to start pulling on the eyebrow, my eyes tear up, I cant grab the hair, and it is really hard, any tips?

Make sure you have proper tweezers. I find slanted ones work really well. You have more control, and the sharpest point makes it easier to get at the really annoying little hairs. Put a luke warm flannel on the area before you start, as this opens the follicle and it's not so hard to get the hair out. Teething gel, like for babies, helps numb the area after you plucked.

Hot Water is what I use to pluck my eyebrows. I cant do it any other way. You will have to do it at a sink or something and everytime you pluck hold a very hot washcloth on the area atleast five seconds. I promise you will not feel a thing! The hot water is suppose to loosen up the folicle and the hair falls out way easier. Just make sure you dont get too happy with not feeling it and pluck too many out.

It hurts the least 2 pluck ur eyebrows right after you've gotten out of the shower, but if this doesn't work, u can go 2 a makeup store (sephora, ulta, bare escentuals) and have ur eyebrows shaped (they pluck them 4 u!). I hope this helps!
God Bless!

Try Plucking them after you take a shower. How water opens your pores up, and it's easier to pluck. Also I suggest you use tweezerman tweezers, they're very easy to use, and are shaped to help you grab the hair. Hopes this helped.
Oh and if this is you 1st time to pluck your eye brows I suggest getting them waxed first, and then plucking the stary hair when they appear.

I've heard of some people who will ice the area for maybe 5-10 minutes before plucking to numb it from hurting so badly- you may want to give that a try.
Personally, I have found that going to the local beautician and getting my eyebrows waxed DOESN'T alleviate the pain however it is significantly quicker is therefor easier to bare.

Try a tweezer that is pointed at the ends. Also, using a magnifyed mirror helps. Of course, everyone's first few times are miserable, but if you grab them quickly it will hurt less. Also, you will become immune to the pain eventually if you do it often. Don't pluck your eyebrows everyday either

Pull the hair in the direction that it grows from and if you can't grab the hair you may need a better tweezers, Try the twezzerman brand you can find it online or in stores if they ever get dull they will sharpen them for free for you and if you can't see the small hairs get a mirror that is magnified so you can see them better...Personally I perfer waxing because it lasts longer.

Instead of plucking, you could try these little razors that are made pretty much for arching your eyebrows.
They come in a 3 pack at Sally Beauty Supply!

put a warm washcloth on your eyebrows for 10min..to soften and open hair follicles...or pluck right after shower. Use a magnifying mirror so you can see them well

go to a good salon, and have them do it. it might be a little pricey (like 30 bucks tops if its an expensive salon) but its worth it. especially if you dont pluck your eyebrows that often
good luck!
