Many women neglect
plucking their brows, believing that a little extra hair here and there
wouldn't really make a big difference. It does! Read on for tips on plucking
your brows.
Stick to the same
beautician. If someone knows your brows and gives you a shape you like, make
sure you stick to her, and don't keep changing your beautician.
If you do not have access
to a beautician for whatever reason, or if you are living outside India and
find it too expensive to get your brows threaded every ten days, shell out the
money to get it threaded once, and from then on, thread your brows regularly by
yourself.
Take it slow and easy
when plucking your brows, so make sure you have plenty of time. There is no
cause for hurry, and if you rush, you may over pluck, ruining the shape. If
your brows are shaped unevenly, your eyes can also look a little warped. Yes,
it's true. It's all about optical illusion. One eye will suddenly start looking
smaller than the other, or higher than the other .
Pluck your brows
immediately after a hot shower, or immediately after steaming your face. You
could also apply a hot towel to your brows for a few moments before plucking
them. If you have been regular with plucking and have just a few hair to pluck,
you needn't apply steam, but if there is a lot of hair that has to go, steam
softens it up and opens your pores, so the hair will come out easily without
hurting you too much. Apply a little moisturizer to your eyebrows so the hair
slides out.
If you are starting to
pluck your brows by yourself from scratch, start slowly. Leave the super-thin
brows for later ... much later, once you have perfected the art of brow
plucking. The first time around simply concentrate on getting them clean and
even. Start by combing your brows with an eyebrow brush. Then, identify the
area from where your brow stops going upward. A little ahead, you will see
another spot from where your brow starts dipping downwards. This is where you
can give yourself a little arch by dipping down from that spot.
How much space should be
left between the eye brows. Take a pencil or ruler and hold it straight up
along the side of each nose. All the hair on the inner side of the pencil
should go. The brow should start from the outside edge of the pencil.
After plucking your brows,
apply some toner or astringent to the area to close pores. You could also apply
some calamine lotion to sooth the area.
