meusic: Beauty & Style

Alot of people know how to apply make up, but not too many people know how to pluck their eyebrows...so for those of you who fall in this category...here are a few tips on how to create a well-shaped eye brow.

Plucking the eyebrow
*Brush your brows straight up with an old toothbrush or an old mascara wand, and then level off the top, smoothing along with the brush.

*If you have a few extra-long hairs, don't pluck them. Trim off about half of the hairs so they lie down properly.
*After that, apply either an ice cube or some baby teething gel to numb the area (it might hurt a little)
*The inside edge of your eyebrow should align with the inner corner of your eye.
*The easiest way to work out how long the tail of your eyebrow should be is to imagine the under-eye line continued to where it would meet with the eyebrow.
*The arch of your eyebrow should follow the curve of your upper eyeline
* Then, take out any stray hairs in the middle bit above your nose. It will help you get used to the feeling of plucking the hair because it is usually less sensitive here than above the eyes.
*Start plucking from underneath the eyebrow, working from the inside, by the nose, to the outside. Grip the hair firmly and smoothly, and pull it in the direction in which it grows. If you quickly yank it out, you stand a chance of the hair breaking off under the surface of the skin and becoming infected. Painful and not very attractive!

*Do a single hair at a time.
*If you need to take unruly hairs off the top line of the eyebrow, be extremely careful and only do a bit at a time. Taking from the top of the eyebrow is normally against the golden rule, but it's sometimes necessary to give a graceful line. However, it can drastically change the shape of your eyebrow and remember - it doesn't always grow back!

*When you think you are done, hold a mirror in front of you, and look into another mirror behind you. This is the best way to see if everything balances.
*But after all said and done, if you really haven't got a clue, pay a professional to do it for you!
