Eyebrows
Eyebrow Tweezing: To reduce the tenderness, numb the eyebrow area first either with a baby’s teething pain preparation or numbing toothache preparation or by using a little ice.
* The hair may be softened first with a hair conditioner or shaving cream.
* Steam your eyebrows with a hot washcloth for five minutes or tweeze right after a hot shower to open the pores so the hair comes out effortlessly.
* Spend the extra money to buy a professional pair of tweezers so you have a clean, sharp pair each time. If you are serious about tweezing, buying a first-rate quality pair is vital.
* Use natural light if achievable.
* First clean up the area between the eyebrows by plucking any stray hairs.
* Pull the skin taut and remove hairs as close as you can to the root.
* Pluck in the direction of the growth. Don’t go againist.
* contour your eyebrows by plucking from below instead than from above to develop a natural arch.
* To close the pores of the skin after plucking, apply an astringent or soothe irritated skin by using warm petroleum jelly.
Shaping Your Eyebrows: 3 Steps
1. First thin the eyebrow, then gradually define the arch. The arch must reach the highest point above the middle of the iris.
2. To figure out where the eyebrows should begin and end, hold a pencil vertically against the nose. The point where the pencil meets the eyebrow above the nose should be the starting spot.
3. Next, with the pencil still held against the nose, tilt it diagonally so that it lines up with the outside corner of the eye. That is the outer point where the eyebrow should come to an end.
Altering the Shape Of Your Eyebrows
* To avoid tweezing into a contour you later regret, first use a white eyeliner pencil to color in the areas under your eyebrows which you think should be plucked.
* If you don’t like the outline, remove the white eyeliner and redraw. Once your are happy with the shape, pluck the hairs in the white area.
