Useful Eyebrow Tips

With a little care, you can have beautiful and elegant looking eyebrows with just a little maintenance to keep them looking their best. Here are a few tips to help you with the maintenance of eyebrows. If you have long hairs it is perfectly okay to trim them with manicure scissors, as this is most preferable over plucking. The best time to pluck your eyebrows is after you get out of the shower as your pores are open and it does not sting quite as much. Keep in mind not to pluck too many hairs, as holes will appear in your brows.
One rule of thumb, particularly if you have small delicate features, is to not over pluck your eyebrows as you want to remain as natural looking as possible. If you have an athletic build, delicate brows will just look simple silly. Keeping them thicker and well manicured will go a long way, so use your best decision. Well-shaped eyebrows are something you should strive for, especially if you have small eyes. It is a great way to help you make a statement without the extra color around the eyes that will make them look even less important.
Many ladies enjoy having their eyebrows waxed. It is a good idea to find an expert in your local area and gain assurance in their abilities. Waxing can have some drawbacks, such as really leading to in-grown hairs. A good way to get around the latent of ingrown hairs is to cleanse the brow area with a toner immediately after waxing, or when you arrive home, use cleansing grains to exfoliate the area so that hairs are not trapped beneath the surface of the skin. If you are fair-haired, tinting of brows is sometimes necessary. Remember that you should look for two shades darker than your real hair color. As far as brunettes are concerned, never tint your brows black as it looks too stern. In closing, remember not to ignore your brows, because a little maintenance goes a long way to improving your looks.

Tips to pluck your eyebrows

Start by drawing a thin "test-line" with your eyebrow pencil to define the shape before you begin.

• The eyebrow should begin above the inner corner of the eye.
• Try to find a peak in your ordinary eyebrow and accentuate it by "plucking it forward". If you cannot find a peak, try to make one above the outer area of the iris.
• The eyebrow must end outside the outer corner of the eye. If it does not already, grab the pencil and start drawing.
• Be cautious when you choose tweezers for eyebrow plucking. You should use special make-up tweezers, not the same old kinds you use for splinters.
• If you do not want to pluck your eyebrows for some reason, there are tools for eyebrow shaving. Electric shavers particularly made for women are the best.

Do not pluck the upside of the eyebrow unless you have to remove some hairs that do not go with the shape, but are living a life of their own. Pluck from beneath to open up the eye.
