Eyebrow Plucking Tips

By: Peter Hutch

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.

Eyebrow Plucking Tips

Make sure you have plenty of light in the room when you are plucking. Why tempt fate by trying this beauty trick in the dark?

To pluck eyebrows, first apply an astringent such as witch hazel to anaesthetise the brow area.

If the hairs are excessively long, it is perfectly okay to trim them with manicure scissors. Trimming them can make a big difference. Actually it is a good idea to trim before you pluck.

Brush your eyebrows into place, . 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.

Use a good pair of tweezers to tweeze your brows. Use magnifying mirror and do the task in perfect bright light.

Eyebrows slanting upwards make you look angry, so be careful not to take off too much at the outer corners.

If you want both top and bottoms to be smooth as much as you can, you can pluck the top and the bottom.

Do not over pluck your brows. Plucking with proper care and in limitations is as important as tweezing or plucking.

Be careful to pull the hair, not the skin when tweezing. While its easy to accidentally grab the skin, doing so may result in redness or bleeding. If redness does occur, rinse your face with cold water and apply a cold eye mask to soothe the flushed skin.

Always pluck below the brow line, so the hair coming back will follow the natural arch of your brow.

Wash the area thoroughly so it's not oily.

Afterwards use a cotton ball or pad soaked in pure tea tree oil or witch hazel to soothe your plucked brows.

There are tweezers on the market that are specially designed for plucking eyebrows. They cost a bit more but make the experience less painful.

Do not overstate the shape of the brow; minimal brow alteration is best.

Do not pluck brows into a thin line thinking it will make your eyes look larger. It can look dated or give the face a surprised look and this shape is not easy to correct once the damage is done.

Never pluck above the brow: Avoid over-tweezing above the brow. A few stray hairs are fine to remove, but too much and it can create an unnatural look. those hairs will grow back thicker and more frequently and that will be messier and a bigger hassle than if you left them alone in the first place.

Don't pluck after you've applied lotion to your face. The skin and the brow will be very porous and a slick brow does not make for controlled tweezing. You may end up removing more hairs than you intended because the hairs clump together.
