How to Wax Your Brows Perfectly

Waxing your eyebrows at home is less costly than having them done professionally.

Waxing is a great way to shape your eyebrows so that they frame your eyes and suit your face. If you're tired of plucking your eyebrows or paying a professional waxer to do the job, you can wax them yourself at home. You can even make your own waxing mixture for less money than it would cost to buy one, and a homemade alternative contains natural ingredients that help to nourish your skin and prevent skin irritation.

Things You'll Need

• 2 tbsp. beeswax
• 10 strawberries
• 5 egg whites
• 4 tbsp. honey
• Saucepan
• Blender
• 2 bowls
• Eye pencil
• Small plastic spatula
• Cotton strip
• Cotton ball
• Baking soda
• Water

Instructions

1. Melt 2 tbsp. of beeswax on the stove in a saucepan. Blend 10 strawberries, 5 egg whites and 4 tbsp. of honey. Add the melted beeswax to the mixture and continue blending until it's uniform. The strawberries will help protect the sensitive skin around your eyebrows during the waxing process. Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl.

2. Wash your face thoroughly. Use an eye pencil to mark an arched shape along your eyebrow line.

3. Apply the wax on the marked area using a small plastic spatula.

4. Press a cotton strip against the wax. Apply firm pressure then quickly pull it off. Make sure to pull in the opposite direction to the hair's growth to minimize pain.

5. Dab a cotton ball in a solution of baking soda and water. Rub the area that you have waxed to remove any wax residue.
