- Before anything else, wash your hands and make sure you are using clean tweezers!
- Use a gentle face wash around the eyebrow area before (to remove excess oils n the face) and after (to keep newly exposed pores/follicles clean and clear) tweezing.
- Mark the shape/area that you want to tweeze with a white, chalky make-up pencil.
- Avoid tweezing the topside of your eyebrow (aside from a single hair that may grow from much higher than the rest), but rather use that shape and natural curve to tweeze the underside.
- Tweeze hairs one at a time to avoid accidentally removing too many and being left with an awkward bare patch.
- Do not tweeze too close to the mirror! You ar more likely to overpluck and, because you are focused so cloely on a single brow, are also very ikely to pluck two different shapes. This will only cause you to have to stress about evening and how you will cover up your mistakes- so take a step back!
- Having trouble getting rid of some of those smaler hairs? Try dipping the tips of your tweezers in baby powder or your mineral make-up powder o provide a stronger grip.
- It's silly to have to say this, but there are some people who don't know that you should never try to shave or use a razor to "remodel" the shape of your eyebrows or if you are a first time tweezer and have a lot of work to do.
- After tweezing, if the eyebrow area is red or irritated, rest a cold compress, cucumber slices, or chilled green tea bags on he irritated area(s) to soothe and reduce irritation.
