Eyes-piration- 9 Tricks to Pluck Perfect Eyebrows (Expert Advise)

Plucking perfect eyebrows to achieve that
flawless, face-framing arch can be a tedious
(and painful!) process. But since fuller, thicker
brows are in style, you can (and should)
spend much less time with the tweezers. Try
these 10 pro beauty tips to score perfect
eyebrow arches at home.

Eyebrow Shaping Tip #1: Choose the Right
Tweezers
"Opt for a sharp, slanted style," says Kristie
Streicher, a celebrity brow expert at the
Warren Tricomi Salon in NYC and L.A. "Unlike
pointy versions, they grab tiny strays quickly
and won't pinch your skin along with the
hairs."

Eyebrow Shaping Tip #2: Tweeze After Your
Shower. Warm water opens the follicles and softens hairs, helping them slip out more easily.

Eyebrow Shaping Tip #3: Ease the Plucking
Pain
If plucking is too painful or it's right before
your period (when skin is most sensitive), dab
on a numbing gel like Orajel-Baby Teething
Pain Medicine.

Eyebrow Shaping Tip #4: Ditch Your
Magnifying Mirror
This tool can make it look like there's more
hair to remove than there really is, says
Streicher, which can lead to overplucking.
Instead, use a regular mirror in a well-lit room
—if you can't see stray hairs under these
conditions, neither can anyone else. "After
every few tweezes, take a couple of steps
back to see the bigger picture," she says.

Eyebrow Shaping Tip #5: Know Your Arch
Limits Hold a pencil for guidance, advises
Streicher. "Your brows should begin directly
above your tear duct, peak in line with the
outer side of your iris, and end at a point that
falls 45 degrees from the outer corner of your
eye." Be sure not to arch your brows too high
or they'll look unnatural.

Eyebrow Shaping Tip #6: Create Your Shape
Once you've determined how your brows
should curve, outline your ideal arch using a
soft, creamy brow pencil. Then remove only the
hairs that fall above or below your self-made
stencil.

Eyebrow Shaping Tip #7: Brush Up
Style your arches with a brow brush or a
clear, brow-gel wand, coaxing hairs upward at
the start of your arch and brushing the rest
toward the end of your eye.

Eyebrow Shaping Tip #8: Fill in the Blanks
Color in sparse spots with a pencil or a powder.

Eyebrow Shaping Tip #9: Grow Them In
Overplucked? Refrain from tweezing for at
least three weeks so you can see the natural
growth pattern and shape.
