Eyebrows are one of the most prominent features on your face. It is essential to keep them properly groomed. You look better if they appear better. Proper eyebrow shaping can bring about a positive change inappearance. Whether your brows are thin, thinning or bushy, they can be shaped to highlight your best features. It is a fact that people pay a fortune to get their brows done.
First thin the eyebrow and then slowly define the arch. The arch should be at the highest point above the middle of the iris. To determine the beginning and the end of the eyebrows, hold a pencil vertically against the nose. The spot where the pencil meets the eyebrow above the nose is the starting point. Next, tilt the pencil diagonally so that it rests against the far corner of the eye. This indicates the outer point where the eyebrow has to end. To tweeze the brows into the right shape, first use a white eyeliner pencil under the eyebrows you think need to be plucked.
One option in shaping your brows is to tweeze them yourself. Take a cotton pad, moisten it with a cleanser such as Hydrogen peroxide and disinfect the skin around the brows. Wipe the tweezerswith alcohol to make them clean. Begin tweezing with stray hairs under the brows. Hold them one after the other and pull them out in the direction of their growth so that the hair is not broken in the mid-shaft. Ensure that you don't pull out too many so that there is a balance on both the sides. After completing this, wipe the area with Hydrogen Peroxide. Apply a soothing ointment. Tweezing is good but, it will never give the same manifestation as waxing does.
Men are generally not very comfortable with too much shaping. They desire their bushy eyebrows to be cleaned up. You have to choose the right tweezers for your requirement. For grasping small and fine hairs use thin tipped tweezers. The tweezers with slanted tip give maximum control and for removing coarse hairs and a tuft of hair at one time, use square tip tweezers.
For ease, tweeze soon after showering or apply a hot washcloth to loosen the hair follicles. Tweeze under the brow first, plucking in the direction of the growth of hair. If the plucking becomes very painful, apply a pain reliever such as anbesol that numbs the brows. After tweezing, soothe the spot with cool and wet tea bags. This makes the process smooth.
