I am 13 and have become really self consious about my eyebrows, and i was wondering how to pluck them. I know i should probably get them waxed, since that would be easier, but I don't know if my dad would let me. Can you tell me how to pluck my eyebrows because I dont want to mess them up???

All of my friends trust me in plucking their eyebrows, and the same thing happened to me at your age. Everyone has a natural brow shape. Your eyebrows MAKE OR BREAK your face, if plucked wrong they can give your face a panicked or sad look. The key to plucking is NOT TO OVERPLUCK....the most common mistake. Look through a magazine for women whos eyebrows look similar to yours. Your eyebrows should start on a slight diagonal from where the corner of your eye is and it should end on a slight diagonal out of where the end of your eye is.
HERE IS A CHART TO DEMONSTRATE THIS IT WILL REALLY HELP YOU

I also reccomend getting them waxed for the first time to SEE your shape and then as the little hairs start to grow in where they shouldnt be you can pluck them and mantain your new shape. You will learn your shape and not need to get waxed again.
GOOD LUCK!!!

Don`t wax!!!Your dad is right. Wax contains a strong chemical which is absorbed by your skin I think it`s called biroxide(sowy I really don`t know the spelling), which can be harmfull because your eyebrows are so close to your eyes.I am not sure what harm he the chemical can do but I`m not eager to see.
So the tips my mom gave me were:
She`s a beautician by the way(has a diploma)
-draw a line with a white pencil of how you want to shape your eyebrow. Find sites on the internet of which brow shape will fit your face shape.
-and then bacically start plucking.
Just remember that if you have a event coming up do it about 3 days before,because plucking normally cause a redness.
PS i`me 14 and I also just started plucking.

It would be better to go to a beauticians or something and get the done proffessionally.
But if you can't, first remember not to pluck above the eyebrows. And when you first pluck them, only pluck them a little bit so that you don't go overboard.
Grip a hair with the tweezers and pluck it out. Do not pluck your eyebrows too much though!!!

First of all, you have a better chance of messing them up by plucking them, you get red and sometimes could get infected if the tweezer is not sterile.
But if you do choose to pluck; which is fine, works good. Get one of those magnified mirrors, go to Target or you Supermarket, you can buy the small pocket ones for lk $5, this makes it easier to see everything, and grab everything. Also make sure you have a good-griped, sterile tweezer
When you tweeze, you will get hold off the eye-brow hair, one at a time, grasp it, and pull gently, not to hard or you can cause it to bleed. Its not hard to do though.
Good luck.

get yourself an eyebrow pencil that you can draw the shape that you want. the pencils are white.
draw the shape of brow that you want and color with the white pencil inside of the shape that you draw. on the outside of the white liner, that is where you pluck away with tweezers. the more you do this with the eyebrow pencil, and tweeze. the better you will become over time.
good luck to yas.

waxing is alot easier. but if you want to pluck then the easiest way is to get ice and numb the area. then pluck out the hairs. if your going to shape ur own eyebrows then get a eyeliner pencil and draw the shape u want around ur eyebrows that way u can see which hairs to pull out (which are the hairs out of the outline). i do my own shaping and plucking and i get lost of compliments on my eyebrows.

yes my mom did it to me once just to show me, now i do it on my own. you start by coloring how you want you eyebrows to look like,then you pluck the ones that are not colored.you always start on the bottom,then on the top and last on the sides,but make sure you put Vaseline so it won't hurt and it comes out easily
