Giving your eyebrows a tweeze is the most
dramatic way to change your face without makeup
or surgery. It opens up your eyes and gives 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 your
eyebrows to be. It might help to flip through
some fashion magazines to get some ideas.
4. Draw in a brow line with a brow pencil
to serve as a guide.
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. Pluck the hairs underneath the brow,
never the ones above it. Only pluck one hair at
a time.
7. Start plucking at 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 soaked in pure tea
tree oil or witch hazel to wipe your plucked
brows.
Tips:
Consider having your brows waxed once to get the
exact shape you want. You can then pluck the
strays as they grown in.
Draw the brow's natural line conforming to the
curve of your upper eyelid. There are tweezers
on the market that are specially designed for
plucking eyebrows. They cost a bit more but make
the experience less painful.
Warnings:
Habitual plucking will make the hairs stop
growing at all, so be careful how much you
pluck. |
