Comments on: How to Tweeze Your Eyebrows

on 8/13/2008 I agree with cmbbb, also you shouldnt color the brow in for a start, this will disguise hair that needs to be "tweezed", if anything, you should color the brows AFTER tweezing by brow tinting. A bit hipacritical also with alchoholing the tweezers,, yet you use a "comb" right beside the nostrils. If it was used, people would be smelling the scalp of the last 1000 people who used it. And finally-YOU PLUCK A CHICKEN & YOU TWEEZE YOUR EYEBROWS. I dont know where you got your training done but its terrible. You would need alot of fine tuning before I decided to have you as an employee of mine.

on 1/8/2008 This was absolutely unhelpful, especially the part "I'm just going to fill in what I think your brow should look like." Oh, thanks! You're a professional stylist! It would be nice if you DESCRIBED what a good brow looked like and what an "arch" should look like.

on 8/8/2006 If it's your first time tweezing your eyebrows, and you don't have anything to guide you, take your eye pencil and go from the edge part of your eye (closest to your nose) and slightly diagonally up to the inside of your face. You don't want your eyes to look longer than your eyebrows.

on 6/30/2006 If you add a bit of Bonjela to the stray hairs, it makes that area numb and it doesn't hurt when you pluck them.

on 6/30/2006 If you have a Mary Kay lady, order the soothing eye gel (or go to their website). After tweezing (not plucking) your eyebrows, dab on a tiny bit of the eye gel on the brow bone with a Q-tip. It works!

on 3/26/2006 Use a magnifying, lighted mirror. I use a ConAir mirror and it works great for getting eyebrows trimmed and makeup done, with a specific light for evening, home, office, and day!

on 3/25/2006 I found that if you pluck your eyebrows in the direction it grows, it hurts much less!

on 3/15/2006 An easy way to get your eyebrows just right is to first draw the desired shape on with some eyeliner or a brow pencil and then pluck around that. When you are done, you just wipe off the eyeliner.

on 2/14/2006 Threading is much easier than waxing. When you wax, you run the risk of pulling out wanted hairs. Tweezing is painful, as you're pulling out each hair one by one. The best thing to do is thread. Go to a salon - - threading is not for amateurs. No product is being used on your skin (such as wax). You can pluck the hairs as they grow in. I advise you to put an ointment on after threading, as some people experience redness. Be aware of the 'green shadow' that may come from waxing/threading/tweezing. When the hair grows back in its place, it leaves a green shadow. I find threading to be the best way to remove it! So it's OK if your hair grows in for a week or two - - you can remove the shadow all at once!

on 2/14/2006 If your eyebrows burn after tweezing, don't try and and cover up redness with eyeshadow or makeup, it will only make it worse. Use Neosporin or Vaseline to soothe the burn, and reduce redness.

on 1/16/2006 If you don't have the time to pluck your eyebrows, you can spray a bit of hair-spray on you finger, and apply it to the brow. Then use two fingers to squeeze your brows thinner. It will straighten you brows, and make them look better.

on 1/2/2006 Be careful when having your eyebrows professionally waxed. It was my first (and only) time and I initially wanted them to be tweezed. But I was pressured into waxing them since it is much faster. She over waxed them and I've had a bald spot where the hair never grew back. That was 9 years ago and I've been dealing with it since.

on 12/12/2005 Put the thinnest layer of Vaseline on your index fingers and smooth the Vaseline out onto your eyebrows. It not only gives it volume, but it reduces stray hairs and make the hairs softer for the next waxing- and less painful to pluck when you just need a touch up.

on 12/12/2005 I always get a nice high arch and shape by not only plucking, but also with an eyebrow razor. I have that nice high arch as well as still looking feminine.

on 12/9/2005 Put cream on your eyebrow, let it settle in, then after a minute; start plucking.
