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.
9. Brush Your Brows
Before you start, you should brush the brows into place. You should hold the skin above your brow when you start to tweeze. This will help reduce the pain.
If you're in the relentless hunt for the perfect mascara, that not only volumizes but also gives your lashes the much-needed lift, then you should absolutely give the dior show mascara a try. It's undeniably one of the best mascaras that guarantees both length and volume while leaving no clumps behind.
8. The Tweezers
When you are plucking your brows, the tweezers are important. You should use a good pair of tweezers. You should also use a magnifying mirror and do it in bright light as I previously stated.

7. Upward Slanting Eyebrows
Did you know that eyebrows slanting upwards will make you look angry all the time? You need to be careful not to take off too much at the outer corners in order to avoid this.
6. Smoothness
If you would like both the bottoms and tops of your brows to be smooth, you should pluck the top and the bottom.
5. Over-Plucking
You need to take caution and make sure you do not over-pluck your eye brows. If you do over-pluck, then you can use an eyebrow pencil to fill in the holes and to make the one brow match the other.
4. Pull the Hair – Not the Skin
When you are tweezing your brows, it is important to make sure you tweeze the hair and not the skin. If you accidently grab the skin, it could create redness or bleeding. If redness occurs, rinse the face with cold water, then apply a cold eye mask in order to soothe the flushed skin.
3. Pluck below the Brow Line
It is important that you always pluck below the brow line. This way, the hair coming back will follow that natural arch of the brow.
2. Wash the Area
It is important to thoroughly wash the area, this way it is not oily.
1. Use Cotton Ball
When you are done, use a cotton ball that has been soaked in tea tree oil or witch hazel in order to soothe the plucked area.
If you are new to plucking your eyebrows or you need tips on how to pluck eyebrows, then you can utilize these 12 tips that I have just given you. With these tips and your own creativity, you will come out with beautiful looking arched brows. What do you normally do in order to pluck your brows?

mary: @Stephanie I'm wondering why you think you have bushy eyebrows cause you are German....really wondering here. I'm German too and my eyebrows are not bushy
Xannyyy: i love doing my eye brows in the shape I like. 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 of hair to pull and want to shape it up. Thanks for the tips Mel!
Rose: Sheila- 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
Melanie: To be honest with you, I never had to pluck mine! I tried it before, but didn't have to. I guess i'm one of those girls who just never had to pluck the eyebrows. They never get out of place or anything.
Jeannie: Awesome tips...Some tips I use myself are: *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 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.
KaRaWr!Xx: Thank you sooo much .. i'm 14 and i haven't touched my eyebrows before they arent that bad but now they are starting to stray lol i was just going to say .. doesnt it reeally hurt?...i don't have any fancy products to help me....all i have is some tweezers ... lol and i heard that warm water is good cos it opens your pours... but won't it still hurt?... i've suddenly got all 'How i look crazy' cos i'm getting shorter hair and less of a fringe which will show my eyebrows soo i need them to look good haha xx thanks x x
