12 Tips on How to Pluck Your Eyebrows …
If you have never plucked your eyebrows before, then learning how to do it can be a bit on the tricky side. I remember when I first started plucking my eyebrows. I had the tweezers but I didn’t know what to do! Then, I turned to the Internet and started looking up some tips and that is what I am about to share with you. Plucking your eyebrows is an acquired skill, and it will involve patience and creativity. It can make your eyes look bigger and give your face that clean, polished look. Would you like to know how to pluck your eyebrows so that you can have that clean, polished look? Then pay attention as I am going to give you 12 tips that I personally use.
12. Plenty of Light
When you start plucking your eyebrows, you should make sure you have lots of light in the room. You should never attempt this beauty trick in a room that is dark! Natural sunlight is best, because then you can see all of the little hairs.
11. Apply an Astringent.
Before you start plucking, you should apply an astringent, like witch hazel. This is to numb the brow area a bit. This way, you will not feel those tiny hairs being pulled out of your skin as much.
10. Trim with Manicure Scissors
Do you have eyebrow hairs that are very long? If so, then it is a good idea to trip them with manicure scissors. When you trim them, this can make a big difference. It is a good idea to trim them up a bit before you pluck them.

If possible, I think you should get it plucked/threaded by professionals the first time. That will make it easier for you to maintain it henceforth.
don’t worry love, it doesn’t really hurt bad. It just stings very little and once you get used to it, you won’t even mind that. And you won’t mind it all the more ... See more once you realise how much better you look thanks to it! I think threading works better than waxing – though you might not find as many places that offer threading!
*Hiding in my loser-hole now*
But yeah, eyebrow pencils work great for when the shape ... See more gets out of hand for a little while. Haha
Lol 20?! You must have really liked the bushy look! :D
With some practice everyone can learn doing this by themselves.
I didn’t know about the Astringent. It’s very good for who has a lot ... See more of hair to pull and want to shape it up. Thanks for the tips Mel!
Don’t they grow back pretty thick though??
It’s better doing them by wax, cause by time they will be very thick like Sheila said! :S
Haha!! lol that’s a good idea!! too bad i didn’t think of cutting my bangs. Darn! i could’ve saved myself some embarrassment :p
I hope there is no next time but juuuuust in case, you know what to do! :)
I had to pluck mine since teen years. Good thing is that ... See more now I really do not have to do much, since these hairs decided not to grow back…..yeah for me. There are a few stubborn ones that I still have to watch out for.
I was definitely NOT one of them. I was instead blessed with bushiest eyebrows that faintly touched eac other. *shudder* i’ve had to shape them since I was a teen too.
Don’t worry. I first got my eyebrows waxed when i was 10 =/ They were pretty bad. And I’ve been plucking them ever since!! (i’m 15 now) and i’m pretty sure ... See more i’ll have to do it most of my life. It’s kind of a pain sometimes. And i just HATE that my friends have naturally perfect eyebrows =/ I’m so jealous of them :p
I began doing mine at 13 and I had the perfect shape naturally! Too bad I wanted to shape them to feel older! :P
But mine aren’t the perfect one. I just wish! Haha!
*When I feel my brows have become thin, I try and let them grow out more than usual. But to make it seem like my eyebrows are still ... See more groomed, I use concealer and a brow brush. First I cover my lids with concealer and with a small synthetic brush I carefully outline the bottom eyebrow to create a crisp, clean line then use the eyebrow pencil as needed.
* Outline the desired shape of your eyebrows with a white eye pencil, and tweeze all of the hairs which are white and those strays outside of that.
* I also prefer a slanted tip tweezer as opposed to the pointed tip tweezers, they are easier to use.
*When tweezing, pull one hair at a time then move back and look in the mirror from a distance. One removed hair make a huge difference, this will help prevent you from making a mistake. Should you make a mistake, eyebrow pencils are great.
Wow you almost sound like a professional there! :)
Great tips…Thanks a bunch for sharing these with our readers….
... See more />
Great tips!! thanks (:
Lol! :D You should have cut some bangs and used them to cover your eyebrows :p
plucking your brows for the first time can be tricky.. you either have to know what you’re doing or get a professional!
after that it’s a breeze~
I would definitely not risk doing it myself the first time. Once a professional gets that shape, it’ll get easier I think. I usually thread my eyebrows. I prefer it to waxing and it’s cheap here in India
The first time it’s pretty difficult. For your first time it’s better a professional and then you can do it after it’s shapened up!
