Facts on Tweezing Eyebrows

Eyebrows are the focal point of the face. Keep them trimmed and shaped and you can improve your overall look. While there is no science behind the tweezing of the perfect eyebrow, there are tricks you should keep in mind.

    Considerations

  1. To tweeze your eyebrows uniformly, you need to mark where the beginning and the end of the brows should be. To do this, simply hold a pencil vertically to the side of your nose and mark where it touches your eyebrows. Then hold the pencil to the outside of your eye and mark a direct line up.
  2. Warning

  3. To prevent infections and ingrown hairs, always make sure your tweezers are sharp and clean. Rubbing them with alcohol before using them can help kill germs.
  4. Types

  5. Eyebrows can be tweezed in different shapes, including fine and thick, natural and high-arched. There is no single best shape for everybody. To avoid plucking too much, it's important to start with a slight pluck and then keep formatting the brows until you see the size and shape you like.
  6. Effects

  7. Avoid overplucking. If you do it often, you may end up with uneven brows, where the hair no longer grows uniformly or consistently.
  8. Misconceptions

  9. Despite popular belief, there is nothing that indicates that eyebrows cannot be plucked on the top side.
