Before you begin, to reduce the pain, numb the eyebrow area with some baby’s teething pain preparation or numb the area with the use of ice. Always remember that tweezing is sometimes quite painful for people with sensitive skin or hair follicles. Sometimes Tweezing can also cause a little bit of blood or redness in the area that was tweezed.
Creating the perfect shape:
- First reduce the thickness of the brow and then define the arch. A perfect arch should reach the highest point around the middle of the iris.
- The eyebrows should begin at a point where when you hold a pencil vertical to the nose. This should be the starting point.
- Hold the pencil against the nose, then tilt it diagonally and stop where it around the corner of the eye. Mark this area as this is the outer point where the eyebrows should end.
Here are the tips for tweezing :
- To avoid problem while tweezing, use a white eyeliner pencil to color in the areas under the eyebrows that need to be plucked.
- If you can’t get the right shape, then remove the white eyeliner and redraw once again. Once you get the right shape, tweeze the hair along the white lines.
- You can also soften the hair first with a hair conditioner or a shaving cream.
- Dab your eyebrows with the help of a hot cloth for five minutes or tweeze right after a hot shower. This opens the pores so that the hair comes out easily.
- Buy a professional pair of tweezers so that you have a sharp and clean pair each time.
- It is best to clean the area around the eyebrows by plucking out stray hair.
- Pull the skin and remove the hair as close to the root as possible.
- The hair should be plucked in the direction of growth.
- Always shape the eyebrows by plucking hair from underneath the brow than from above. This creates a natural arch.
- Make sure you close the pores of your skin after plucking. This can be done with the use of astringent.
- Be sure to soothe the irritated skin by applying some balm on the skin around the brows.
- Don’t apply any makeup immediately after tweezing; wait for at least a couple of hours.
- Avoid applying creams or moisturizers before tweezing as they can make the tweezers slip. This can be dangerous as it is around the eyes.
- Pull one hair at a time this will give you better control on the shape of your eyebrows.
- Pull the hair out gently with a quick jerk. Try not to cut the hair as this can cause ingrowths.
