So the other week at college we got taught how to do eyebrow shaping by tweezing. Now i had never tweezed my eyebrows before only ever waxed. So it was totally new to me, and i love learning new things and sharing them. So here it goes....
What you need:
- Sterilized tweezers (soak them in boiling water for a couple of mins)
- White eyeliner pencil
- A eye shadow brush or a cuticle stick (something skinny and long ha ha)
- Eyebrows ha ha
- If you have sensitive skin then soak cotton pads in the boiling water make them just damp and place over the area for a couple of minutes
- Witch hazel
What to do:
- First you want to take your eyebrow/cuticle stick and line up and put dots like i have in the picture below
- Anywhere outside of the dots (except the middle one obviously) need to be tweezed out
- Now look at the middle one this is where your arch should be, so you want your eyebrow to be thicker nearer the nose go up into an arch and then taper (get thiner) out
- So starting from the outside pluck upwards and in making it from thinner to thicker until your happy with the width, remember you can't glue your eyebrows back on so make sure to do it in steps
- After you have doe the you can go from the arch to the nose area underneath now pluck that area until your happy with that width, remember to make that part thicker so your eyebrows taper out
- Then just go over your eyebrows with some witch hazel to cool the area
Extra tips:
- You have to pluck the eyebrow hair in the direction it has grown, like this picture shows:
- Don't wear makeup for at least 8 hours after as your pores are open and you can cause infection or clog the pores causing spots
- Get some good tweezers, the better the tweezers the easier and less painful it'll be
- Do it in front of a window and have a magnifying mirror on hand for the really small faint hairs
Thanks for reading guys,
