1. Buy a good pair of tweezers

2. Decide on the shape of your brows

3. Trim eyebrows if necessary.
Brush your eyebrows straight up and if there are any hairs longer
coming out of your natural shape on top, then you need to trim.

4. Wash face with warm water. It helps relax skin and hair follicle
for easier removal. Wipe off and pat dry to remove moisture.

5. Select the hairs you’re removing.
It could be above, below or in-between.

6. Start tweezing the arches in.
Hold skin taut and begin removing hairs making the arch by
grasping clean tweezers near the base of the hair, pulling in the
direction it grows.

7. Stand back. Take a look, standing at a distance from the mirror
to see if the brows are looking visually balanced so far.

8. Soothe skin. If skin is red or irritated, you can apply an aloe-
based lotion or gel with a cotton swab.
Tips:

Here’s a very important eyebrow shaping tip. A big mistake
people make is taking out more hair when trimming the excess
length…really is what needs to go. For men, this helps make the
brow look more neat and groomed and for women it helps them
achieve that perfectly defined look.

1. By gently holding taut with your free hand while tweezing,
means less pain on the skin and less tugging.
2. Don’t dig tweezers into skin to grab really short hairs. Wait
until it grows out in a couple days for removal.
3. Plucking once per month will keep the shape in place and
make it easier to see which hair needs to be removed as it grows
in.
4. If you worry about pain, apply a numbing pain spray to a cot-
ton swab and then to eyebrow area. Make sure it doesn’t get into
your eyes! Now, should you plug the top of your eyebrows? It is
a matter of personal preference.
Now, all you need is a good pair of tweezers and a mirror and start
tweezing. Good luck.
