Grooming Your Eyebrows

Tweezing is the most efficient way to groom your eyebrows. Men

as well as women will benefit from a weekly grooming session. It is

much easier to maintain a clean appearance by performing this task

more frequently, than having to start from scratch every few months.

So check for regrowth and strays frequently.

Your goal is to achieve a natural, neat, well groomed look…not an

artificial appearance.

If you have a particularly sensitive eye area you may want to try

tweezing after a shower. You will want this area warm and damp

so that the pores are open and more receptive to plucking out hairs.

The pain of plucking your brows can also be alleviated by applying

baby teething gel to the area.

Use a good quality tweezer such as one made by Revlon. This tweezer

has a good ergonomic design for a sturdy grip. It has slanted edges

which makes it easier to grab individual hairs.

A lighted magnifying mirror is a must if you can’t find natural light

from a window. You will find these items in the make up section of

department stores and drug stores.

The best time for you ladies to tweeze your eyebrows is a week after

your period begins. Your body is more receptive to hair removal at

that time.

To tweeze grab one individual hair at the base near the root and pull

quickly and smoothly in the direction of the hair growth. You may

want to hold the skin surrounding this area taut as you tweeze.

When removing hairs, only pluck one hair at a time. Stand back

frequently and look into a wall mirror to gauge how you are doing.

Stick to the general rule of not removing any hairs above the eye

brow. Only tweeze obvious strays as you want to carefully

maintain your natural arch and shape. You will only remove strays

like those near eyelids and in between eyes or strays past the outer

end of the brow.

Be careful to avoid making spaces in the brow when plucking. Keep

brushing your brow with a small eyebrow brush in the direction of its

natural growth, checking your progress often as you tweeze.

Try to balance each eyebrow following your natural look. Don’t over

define as you will get an aging and artificial result. You don’t want

a permanent startled look or the look of a Kewpie Doll
.
When done apply Aloe Vera gel to calm down any irritation you

may have caused. This gel is cooling and healing.

If you have accidentally over done the tweezing in an area don’t

fret. You can use an eyebrow pencil and brown shadow to make

temporary repairs. Choose a pencil closest to your own color. Put

the pencil into the freezer for a while to harden it. This will give

you a more delicate, hair like feathering tip. You can also press a

brown shadow into the sparse area.

Be especially careful next time you groom your brows to not pluck

the areas you made your initial mistakes in. As eventually after

plucking in the same area repeatedly, that hair may stop growing.

Even better yet, right from the start, avoid over plucking, as some

hairs may never grow back. Better to be careful the first time. So

make sure you have lots of time and no distractions when you

tweeze.

Your tweezers can last you a long time and you will want them to

last. As you will have paid a fairly good price for quality ones. Take

care of them by wiping the tips with alcohol and keep them clean

and dry. Sharpen them if needed, by using a rough grit emery board.

Well groomed brows brighten and soften your face. They help focus

on your beautiful eyes.
