Pluck them off!

Well groomed eyebrows – rather well plucked eyebrows, that’s what all fashion conscious ladies desire of. There are many a tips which can be followed to have eyebrows which are well groomed. Tweezing the eyebrows has been of late quite a hot trend and thus many professionals are coming out with eyebrow boutiques all across. If you are tweezing your eyebrows for the first time, get it done by a professional, such that you get a blueprint of what the shape should be like.
Some tips to follow for tweezing your eyebrows –
1. Do not commit a mistake by tweezing too much. It really takes long stretches to get back over plucked eye brows. Follow this simple trick – the space in between your brows should be similar or a little wider than your eyes. To find where your brow should go, take a long eye shadow brush or pencil and hold it parallel to the side of your nose. Where the brush meets your brow is where your brow should begin.
2. To determine the end of your eye brow, the brush should be extended diagonally from the side of your nostrils, whereby you are advised to follow the outside edge of your eye towards the brow. The place where the inside edge of your brush hits – that’s where you should mark an end to your brows.
3. There is a shape of a slight arch – in the best of the eyebrows. To make an arch, you should hold your brush parallel to the outside edge of the colored part of your eye (the iris). The place at which the brush meets the brow, that’s exactly where you should have the highest part of your eye brow.
4. You skin should be cleansed properly. If you can exfoliate with a gentle scrub, the area becomes quite soft and apt for tweezing the eyebrows. Are you doing it for the first time? Worried if it shall cause pain? Go to an expert and your tension shall be eased out.
5. Always take a good pair of tweezers having a slanted edge.
6. Make sure that you are standing or sitting in front of a mirror, to give you an elaborate view of how the eyebrows are being tweezed. There should be ample light falling on your face to give a clearer view.
7. Always keep in mind that you have to pluck the brow hairs in the direction in which they are growing. The tactic is – not to take out too many hairs at one go. Also, you can hold the skin taut as you pluck your eyebrows.
8. A myth exists that eyebrows should never be tweezed from an upper area. There is a inhibit wish that the bottom and the top should be smooth while plucking your eyebrows. Thus, make sure you tweeze both the – upper area as well as the lower portion.
9. If you are done with plucking your eyebrows, apply some aloe vera gel – that will readily calm the redness in that area.
