Eyebrow waxing is an essential part of many people's grooming regimen. Professionals wax eyebrows every day and charge for their expertise but this is something you can try to do for yourself. Use the essential tools and these tips to learn to wax your eyebrows at home.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Cream wax kit
  • Epilation oil
  • Disposable mascara wand
  • Wax spatula
  • Muslin strips
  1. Step 1

    Purchase all the necessary equipment for waxing eyebrows at a local beauty supply center. These supplies include epilation oil, muslin strips and a waxing kit. Cream wax works well for eyebrows. Tweezers are also handy for removing hard to wax hairs.

  2. Step 2

    Pick up an unused disposable mascara wand. Bend it at an angle to use as a comb for the eyebrows. Brush the eyebrow hair out of the way with the mascara wand.

  3. Step 3

    Put epilation oil on the eyebrow area. Use just a small amount to prepare the area for waxing.

  4. Step 4

    Brush the eyebrow hair up and out of the way. Pull down the hairs to wax off in small segments with the mascara wand.

  5. Step 5

    Wax only a small section of eyebrow at a time. This prevents over waxing.

  6. Step 6

    Apply a small amount of cream wax with a small spatula to the hair to be removed. Put on the wax in the direction of the hair growth.

  7. Step 7

    Place a small piece of muslin over the wax and press down several times, pressing in the direction of hair growth. Pull down the muslin and make sure there are not any unwanted hairs stuck in the wax.

  8. Step 8

    Hold the skin taut. Pull the muslin quickly in the direction against hair growth. Remove any excess wax by placing a clean section of the muslin back over the just waxed area, pressing down and pulling back up. Remove any stray hairs with tweezers.

Tips & Warnings
  • Use caution as wax can get hot.
