A Beginner's Guide to Tweezing Your Brows ...

1. Choose the Perfect Tweezers

Choose very sharp, slanted tweezers because they will do the best job for you.

2. Take a Shower

According to experts, warm water will soften your hairs, making them much easier to pluck.

3. Use a Numbing Gel

Does tweezing hurt so much that you dread it? Dab on a bit of numbing gel to keep things from being too painful.

4. Use a Regular Mirror, Not a Magnifying One

A magnifying mirror can make you think you need to pluck more hairs than you do. Use a regular mirror to get perfect brows.

5. Figure out Your Starting Points

Use the bottom of your tweezers and line them up from the side of your nose. This is where your brows should start. Check out line #1 in the image.

6. Mark Your Ending Points

Now, leave your tweezers next to your nostril and extend it diagonally to the outer corner of your eye. This is where your brow should end.

7. Determine Where Your Arch Should Be

Your arch should be just at the outer edge of your iris, right at your brow bone.

8. Decide on How Thick to Keep Your Brows

To do this, draw a line along the bottom edge of your brow, letting you see where strays below it are lingering.

9. Shape Your Arch

Use your tweezers to remove a row of hair along the bottom of where your arch should be.

10. Continue Row by Row in Your Arch

Continue row by row, removing hairs until you reach the lien you drew on your brow in step #4. Your arch is done!

11. Remove the Other Hairs below Your Line

Now that you've shaped your arch, carefully pluck the rest of your hairs that fall outside the line you drew.

12. Use the Three Hairs Rule

Experts suggest plucking three hairs, then stepping back to see the results. If you need to, keep going, three hairs at a time. If not, you're done.

13. Use Hydrocortisone Cream

Prevent redness and irritation after tweezing by dabbing on some hydrocortisone cream.

14. Style Your Brows

Use a comb and style your brows to make sure things look like they should. Tweeze any stray hairs you come across.

15. Fill Them in

Plucked too many hairs? Have a thin spot? Use brow filler to event things out.

16. Wait Three Weeks to Tweeze Again

It might sound like a long time, but experts say this gives you a chance to see your brows natural growth patterns, which will make it easier to determine the shape of your brows next time you pluck.

Are you ready to have the best brows ever now?
