How To: Tweeze Your Eyebrows

The best way to determine the points on your eyebrow is to compare your nose to the iris of your eye and to the end of the your eye. Take any eyeliner pencil and starting at your nose, point the pencil straight up and that will tell you where your eyebrows should begin. Make a mark with a white eyeliner pencil (this is easier to get off than dark colors). Then hold the eyeliner pencil from your nose to your iris. This will determine where your arch should be located. Mark your it with your white eyeliner pencil. Do the same from your nose to the end of your eye. That marks the end of the brow.

Step Two

Make sure your tweezers are sanatized properly (if not dip them in alcohol and then allow them to dry a few minutes before you put them near your eyes or else it will burn).

Step Three

Lightly pull your skin taut at the outer corner of your eye, so you can minimize the pain a little more. Make sure you pluck the hairs out towards the direction of growth, if they are growing from right to left pull to the left, and if they are growing from left to right pull to the right.

Step Four

Take an eyebrow brush and gently brush the hairs upwards until you reach the arch, then brush them following the marks you just made. You can use a little bit of hair gel to keep them in place!

Step Five

Time to start plucking your eyebrows! Be very careful to not over tweeze or you will look really odd. Only pluck above your eyebrow if you have very obvious strays, only pluck outside the lines in which you have created!

Good Luck with your eyebrow adventure. This do actually make or break a look! So start out slow and you should get great results!
