Eyebrow Tweezing Tips and Information

Eyebrow tweezing is long known method of changing your looks and appearance. Tweezing your eyebrows is one of the most dramatic way to change your face without makeup or surgery. It can make your eyes look larger and give your face a clean, polished look. Tweezing eyebrows involves removal of hairs from their roots. Often hairs tweezed again and again will not grow back. Eyebrow hair grows very slowly so it may take a while, hence tweezing is the best way to get them trimmed.

Steps on how to Tweeze Your Eyebrows

Wash the area thoroughly so it's not oily. 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 when tweezing eyebrows by conforming to the curve of your upper eyelid. Pull the skin at the outer end of the eyebrow taut against the brow bone, and use the brow bone as an additional guide. Use a pair of angled eyebrow tweezers to remove the hairs below the brow; never shape your brow by plucking above it. Pluck only one hair at a time.

Start tweezing your eyebrows in the middle of the eyebrow and tweeze toward the outer end; then go back to the middle and tweeze 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 tweezed brows.

Working from underneath the brow to even up and clean up the line. Does the line of the natural brow stops short of the outside corner? No problem. Use a freshly sharpened eyebrow pencil to draw a thin, delicate line to extend the browline to the outside of the eye. Blur the color, lightly with a fingertip
