Plucking Your Eyebrows

Putting on cool eye makeup without cleaning up your brows in like wearing a killer new dress with muddy sneakers. But remember: Easy does it! The goal is to look natural but groomed when tweezing your eye brows, not to look like an overplucked chicken. Here’s a fail-proof, six-step plan for plucking your eye brows.

Set aside time to pluck your eyebrows right after showering, or hold a hot, wet washcloth over your brows for a few minutes. (Tweezing hurts less when your pores are still open from the steam.)

Brush brows upward with a brow brush or an old toothbrush. This way you can see any hairs that are really out of line.

Use a eyebrow tweezer with an angled or pointed tip (it makes it easier to grab hairs), following the natural shape of your brows. Pluck only the stray hairs underneath your natural arch, and any really obvious strays above your brow. Be careful not to do too much grooming above your brows, it’s an easy way to screw up their shape! Pull in the direction that hairs grow, and pluck only one hair at a time. Midway through tweezing, pause and step back a bit from the mirror to get a better perspective on what still needs to be plucked.

Don’t try to change the shape of your brows dramatically or create an arch that isn’t there. The shape you were born with is the most flattering one for your face. If you want to enhance your own natural arch, the highest point should be about three-quarters of the way toward the end of the brow or even with the outer edge of your iris (colored part of your eye). Brows should taper slightly from the arches to the ends. The ends should extend beyond the outer corners of your eyes.

If your brows are sparse, fill in gaps with a brow powder, eye pencil, or matte eye shadow. To give naturally dark brows a lighter appearance, try smearing a tiny bit of foundation onto a toothbrush and brushing across brows in an upward motion.

When finished, repeat the brushing step to give tweezed and filled-in brows a groomed look.
