DIY: TWEEZING

 How to Keep Your Brows Looking Great Every Day of the Year.

Shaping Your Brows

The shape of your brow should follow the natural line of your brow bone. The arch should be highest at the outer corner of the pupil. To determine where the brow should begin, place a pencil straight up from the side of the nostril. To determine where it should end, hold the pencil diagonally against the outer corner of the eye pointing up to the brow bone. Brow should extend slightly beyond the eye at which point it should taper slightly down. 

Easy Steps To Accurate Tweezing

• Use good tweezers.
• Make sure you are in good even light.
•  Brush hair in the direction of hair growth.
•  Isolate the hair you are about to tweeze.
• Pull the hairs in the direction of growth.
•  Pull one hair at a time.
• Tweezing after a bath or shower is easier when the skin is warm.
• For ladies, avoid plucking just before a period as more pain or discomfort may be felt at this time.
• Pull gently and smoothly. 

Not Sure How Much to Tweeze?

Be sure to step back from your mirror and check your brows periodically. Tweeze a few hairs from one brow and then the other so they remain symmetrical. Remember that it's better to tweeze too little than too much. 

Do's and Don'ts

* Do tweeze in the direction of hair growth.

* Do open your pores with a hot washcloth to make tweezing easier. 

* Do use a make-up concealer to draw your desired brow shape, then tweeze the hairs that fall below the line.
* Don't use creams or moisturizers that can cause the tweezers to slip.
* Don't tweeze nose hairs or hairs growing out of moles.
