1. Using Old Tweezers

If you find yourself struggling to bring the two points together or if you notice that hairs are slipping through your tweezers, it's time to buy a new one! They're very inexpensive and can be found at common places like CVS or Walgreens! Also, don't just throw your tweezers into your makeup with everything else, that could cause bacterial build-up! Wipe them after each use and keep them separated from your other products.

2. Overplucking

Overplucked brows don't tend to frame the eyes or face very well, so skip the daily plucking and opt to tweeze your brows every two to three weeks. That way, hairs have time to grow out, making your brows look more even. Plus, with stars like Cara Delevingne, Lily Collins, and Hilary Rhoda, full eyebrows are more popular than ever. Embrace the trend!

Frequently asked questions

3. Getting Arch-happy

Ladies, if you don't want your face to look constantly surprised, be careful with your eyebrow arches. Find your natural arch by looking for your eyebrow's highest point and then tweezing below the brow to create a lift.

4. Forgetting the Top

Don't neglect the top of your brow! There's a major difference between brows that are thick and polished and brows that are thick and messy. By getting rid of the stray hairs in the above-brow area, you'll create a more polished look.

5. Overusing Your Brow Pencil

It's no secret that a good eyebrow pencil can take your brows to the next level. However, brows that are too dark tend to look super harsh and fake! The whole point of using the pencil is to define your brows, not let it take over your face. So, pick a brow pencil that's a shade lighter than your natural brow color and then use light strokes to shade in patchy areas. Remember, you're shadowing your eyebrows, not actually drawing them in!

I plucked my eyebrows to death. I've been growing them for the past 2 years. Ditch the tweezers and go to a professional who can thread them.

I never seem to find good tips for older women's eyebrows. What colour do we use? Mine are some dark,most white and gaps I between !
