Eyebrow Shaping How to Pluck Perfect Eyebrows with Tweezers
Eyebrow grooming requires patience, skill and diligence, as regular plucking keeps them clean and shiny. With a little practice and a good-quality eyebrow tweezer, you can master the art of plucking perfect, complementary eyebrows.
For perfectly arched brows that show off your face, here are six helpful tips to give your brows a professional look.
Eyebrow shaping tip 1: Use good quality Tweezers
Good eyebrows start with good tools. You can follow all the good advice from beauty experts, but if your tweezers are dull and poorly placed, the hairs will slip and plucking your eyebrows will become a chore rather than a pleasure.
Make sure you choose the right tweezers before you start plucking, and don't forget to disinfect them before and after each use to avoid bacteria build-up. Take a look at our extensive collection of high-quality Topinox tweezers made in the UK.
Eyebrow care tip 2: Scrape your eyebrows after a Shower
The warm water opens the pores and softens the hair, making it easier and less painful to remove. In a well-lit area, preferably with plenty of natural light, you will be able to see even the smallest hairs.
Brow maintenance tip 3: Create a perfect brow bone
Determine your natural arch by finding three points: just above the tear trough, the highest point of the eyebrow and the point where the eyebrow ends, usually at a 45 degree angle to the outer corner of the eye. This is the ideal brow shape.
Pull under the brow to lift it and around it to remove unwanted hair. Remember that the arch should not be too curved, as it will look very unnatural.
Eyebrow shaping tip 4: Get close to the roots.
Look in the mirror with a magnifying glass and decide which hairs you want to remove. Take one hair at a time and pull it close to the root to avoid breaking the hair and leaving an ugly black spot on the skin.
Be careful not to cut the skin, however, as the tips of a good pair of tweezers are quite sharp and can grip small hairs with great precision. To reduce pain, grasp the skin above the eyebrows and pull the hairs in the direction of their growth.
Tip 5: Reduce redness
After waxing, the skin may become red or irritated. Most women prefer to wax before bedtime, as the irritation naturally subsides in the morning without the need for special treatments. You can also gently rub the skin around your eyes with a cool, damp cloth and wait a few minutes for the redness to disappear.
Tip 6: Don't shape your eyebrows
Spend a lot of time plucking your eyebrows, plucking one hair at a time in a smooth, even motion. Make sure the hairs you pluck only fit the shape of your eyebrow. After removing a few hairs from one eyebrow, move on to the next to achieve a symmetrical result.
If you've made a mistake and want to correct it, consult a professional who can help you find the perfect natural shape and advise you on how to pluck your eyebrows at home. Enjoy beautiful eyebrows that frame your eyes nicely and complement your style.
