How to Pluck Your Eyebrows Without Over-doing It

Plucking your eyebrows is an art form not a science, but I will try to explain as best I can.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Very good tweezers that can pluck precisely and pluck very fine hair.

1. Make sure your face is washed with warm water and that your eyebrows are dry.

2. Begin by plucking the middle of the face (where a uni-brow grows) make sure to clean up all fine hairs and dark ones. Be sure you do not go past the nostril line. (A good rule of thumb is to take the tweezers and stand them straight in a line from the end of your nostril up. Where that falls is the nostril line).

3. Now for the clean up of any and all stray hairs around your base eyebrow shape. You may see an occasional grey one in the middle. It is OK to pluck that one, but no others with it.

4. Pluck only one hair at a time and step back each time to see if you should continue. This is very important as you don't want to go too far.

Tips & Warnings

• Your goal is to have a clean shape of the brow, not to reshape it. For that I would recommend going to a professional.
• If you keep plucking to try and get them asymmetrical you will lose your brows. Remember no one's face is asymmetrical and I don't care who you are.. yours isn't either.
