Pluck those bushies! (Eyebrows).
Often times, people get to over zealous when it comes to shaping and plucking their brows..
One has to be delicate when tweezing, plucking eyebrows. Invest in a good beard trimmer for starters. They have a nice little atachment/shield that trims all the eyebrow hairs to an even length. This can actually make you look a few years younger.
Do some research before you pick up your tweezers an pluck with wild abandon ( eyebrow pencils are for filling in, not drawing on eyebrows :p, which will happen if you pluck too much). Look online or in magazines at all the different shapes and styles. ( online even sells eyebrow stencils, believe it or not). Be sure to match up the style you like, to your face shape. There are websites out there that match hairstyles and face shapes, etc.
After you decide what style is right for you, start by warming up your skin and eyebrows with a hot, wet facecloth for about five min. This allows the folicle to open up like your pores, for easy extraction of the hair.PLUCK ONLY ONE HAIR AT A TIME. Do not grab more than one at a time as it may cause unwanted gaps. Grasp the hair and pull it out in the direction it grows ( i.e. if the hair is growing out towards the right, pull out to the right)
Do a little on each side, pausing every so often to check your progress. Stand back and look. When you are satisfied put down those tweezers! Dont second guess yourself and overpluck.
Your eyebrow ridge may be a little red afterwards, so its best to do it before bedtime, to give time for the redness to go away.
Use eyebrow pencils sparingly and obviously match them to your natural color. Draw inside the shape you have plucked, then using your finger, brush what you have drawn to soften it and blend it in to look more natural.
Happy plucking !
