Eyebrows can make or break a face. They are the key to makeup and hair styling, and can determine where a person focuses when they look at you. Tweezing, waxing, and threading are the methods used to reduce growth and shape the brow. A brow pencil is used to fill in thinner spots to complete the best shape for your eyebrow.
The perfect eyebrows are neatly trimmed, fitting the contour of the eye without being over grown or overly trimmed. Tweezing and waxing are the methods of choice to achieve this. The difference between the two is the amount of hair removed at one time. The steps to follow are simple, but necessary in order to achieve the proper look. Furthermore, perfect eyebrows must match your face and the look you are attempting. It is important to keep this in mind when grooming your brows.
If you want to keep the unruly appearance of your brows, the best method is to make them appear more seemly by applying a small amount of hair spray or gel to the area. This will keep your brows smooth, while not requiring the time and effort to tweeze. Most people, especially women, will want to reign in those brows, either by making them appear fuller or thinner.
To begin tweezing, hold the tweezers at a forty five degree angle and begin removing hairs away from the bulk. Move slowly, trying not to tweeze the main brow. The first step is to remove this excess growth revealing your ideal brow shape. Make sure to pull in the direction of hair growth to avoid incomplete removal. Be careful not to overdo trimming the main brow. Move slowly, if you have a lot of hair it is best to work from the inside out, reducing the volume gradually. Your perfect eyebrow may not be as thin as you thought. All brow styles do not fit every face, when your ideal eyebrow is revealed by the gradual grooming stop tweezing and inspect it for completeness.
Waxing eyebrows lasts longer than tweezing, which must be repeated every few days, but costs money and can irritate the skin. However, if you desire a more permanent look or do not want to risk over tweezing, waxing your eyebrows is a good choice. Threading, a Chinese technique that uses a cotton thread to remove groups of hairs, also costs money but is less irritating, though not as permanent, as waxing.
There may still be sparse spots with all of these methods. This can be filled in with a brow pencil. When using a brow pencil, use short, light strokes from the start of hair growth outward. Follow all of these guidelines to achieve the perfect eyebrows for your face.
