Eyebrows are perhaps one of the most under appreciated features of a person’s face, yet eyebrows are a perhaps a person’s most defining feature. Change the shape of your eyebrow with a little plucking, and you can change the personality and perceived mood of your face.
Eyebrow shaping is no simple task though. Pluck too much and you end up with a perpetual look of surprise or worse, like you have no eyebrows at all. Pluck too little, and you may end up looking like a neanderthal. Here are a few tips to make sure your eyebrows come out the perfect shape.
Never pluck above the eyebrow. Bleach unruly upper hairs instead.
Brush the brows upward before plucking so that you have a clear idea of the lower eyebrow line.
Always pluck eyebrow hairs in the direction that the hair grows. This way is less painful and the hairs will regrow flat.
Tweeze one hair at a time, starting at the inside (near the nose) and working your way out.
Don’t over pluck. Take one row of hairs off at a time and examine the eyebrows before deciding if another row needs to come off.
If you follow these tips for eyebrow shaping, your eyes and eyebrows will be sure to raise more than a few appreciative eyebrows.
