Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

Eyebrow waxing kit
Eyebrow comb or baby toothbrush
Ruler
Astringent such as witch hazel
Water soluble marker, pen or eyeliner

Step1

Comb the unibrow in the hairs' natural direction. The brow over the right eye should go toward the right. The hair over the left eye should go to the left.

Step2

Wipe the skin under the eyebrows with an astringent like witch hazel. This will make sure it's clean.

Step3

Figure out how the eyebrows should be shaped. Hold the ruler straight up and down, next to each nostril. This is where the eyebrow should start. Mark it with a spot.

Step4

Hold the ruler diagonally, from the edge of the nostril, past the outer corner of the colored part of your eye, to the eyebrow. This is where the highest point of the arch should be. Mark it with a spot.

Step5

Bring the ruler from the outer edge of the nostril to the outside corner of your eye. Just above that is where the eyebrow should end. Mark it with a spot. Connect all the dots to make your eyebrow shape.

Step6

Heat up the wax as instructed on the box. Put a small amount on the spatula. Apply to the hair you want to remove between your eyes.

Step7

Smooth the cotton strip over the wax immediately. Hold the skin tight. Quickly pull the cotton in the opposite direction of hair growth. Repeat until all unwanted hair is removed.
