Eyebrow Plucking - How to Pluck Eyebrows
Eyebrow plucking is an art. There is skill, patience and creativity involved in it. Eyebrow Plucking
can make your eyes look larger and give your face a clean, polished look. Eyebrow plucking should ideally be timed just before hitting the sack as the sleep time that follows allows any subsequent redness to disappear overnight. Slant edge tweezers, which grip hairs easily, are best for shaping brows while combing hairs one way, then the other, helps remove loose strands.
How to Pluck your eyebrows
- Decide what shape you want for your eyebrows. Styles change: It may help to flip through fashion magazines for ideas.
- Draw in a brow line on your eyebrow with a brow pencil to serve as a guide. Follow the brow's natural line by conforming to the curve of your upper eyelid.
- Use a pair of angled eyebrow tweezers to pluck the hairs below the brow; never shape your brow by plucking above it. Pluck only one hair at a time.
- Start plucking in 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.
- Use a cotton ball or pad soaked in pure tea tree oil or witch hazel to soothe your plucked brows.
Plucking Eyebrow Tips
- A tweezer with a pointed or slanted tip will grip the hairs best.
- Pluck hairs in the direction that they grow. Doing so will keep the hairs smooth and will hurt less. It's also a good idea to tautly hold the skin right above the brow as you begin to tweeze--that will slightly reduce the pain of plucking.
- Always pluck below the brow line, so the hair coming back will follow the natural arch of your brow.
- Use the top of the brow as a guide on how to shape the bottom.
- Pluck a few hairs and then stop. Look in the mirror, step back, and see how you are doing. Remember, you can always take out more later, but once you have overplucked, you'll have to live with that thin, artificial line until the hair grows back.
