First, what tools do we need? Can you give us a step-by-step guide on how to tweeze the brows? Step 2: Figure out your brow shape<\/em><\/p>\n “To find the natural shape of your brow, hold a pencil at the middle of your nostril straight up to mark its start, move the pencil to the outside of your iris to find your arch, and then have the pencil touch the outer corner of your eye to secure the tail.”<\/p>\n Step 3: Tweeze<\/em><\/p>\n “Once your brows have been mapped, you may begin tweezing. Always tweeze in the direction of hair growth, in natural light, and away from a magnifying mirror. Less is more. Tweeze a few hairs, step back, analyze, and repeat. Do this at the start of your brow, then move onto the arch, and lastly the tail until you feel comfortable with the outcome. This method helps prevent going overboard.”<\/p>\n “Take your time and do not rush the process. If you are questioning whether the hair should be tweezed or not, leave it. Remember, you can always take more away; you can\u2019t put tweezed hairs back.”<\/p>\n Step 4: Calm redness What about\u00a0trimming? Any tips for\u00a0those who can\u2019t wait to see the pros and want to try waxing at home?

\n<\/strong>“Trimmers<\/a>, tweezers<\/a>, and a spoolie<\/a>. If you only have cuticle scissors laying around your house, you can use those to trim your brow hairs. No spoolie? Try a fine-tooth comb, unused toothbrush, or an old mascara wand, but make sure you clean it first.”<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Step 1: Prep\u00a0the skin
\n<\/em>“Disinfect the area that you are able to tweeze with an alcohol prep pad.”<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3460.jpg\")

<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>“Lastly, calm any irritation with a swipe of witch hazel toner<\/a> to help tighten the pores.”<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>“Just like with tweezing, don\u2019t go overboard. Us a clean spoolie and brush the brow hairs up and trim any excess hairs that are poking up. Then, brush the hairs\u00a0down\u00a0<\/em>and trim any strays. Remember, less is more. Only trim the tips and then brush the hairs back into their relaxed state to see if you need to trim any more.”<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>“Cleanse your brow area with an alcohol prep pad, trim any straggly hairs, and lightly apply baby powder over your brows. Warm up your favorite wax (make sure it\u2019s not too hot) and test the temperature on your wrist before applying to the brows. Apply wax evenly in the direction of hair growth, lay a small cloth strip on the area, press down and pull in the opposite direction of hair growth. Apply pressure to that area you just waxed. Start at the head of the brow and wax the top of the brow in two sections and bottom of the brow in two sections. Never go over the same area twice. When you\u2019ve finished both brows, apply a light layer of aloe vera to soothe the area.”<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>“Don\u2019t panic! Be patient and let your eyebrows grow back in. I love to massage castor oil<\/a> on the brow area to help with growth. In the meantime, use a brow pencil like the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer<\/a> to fill in sparse areas. Once the hairs have grown back, get your monthly brow maintenance with a professional brow artist who will shape your brows without removing too much.”<\/p>\n
