How to pluck your own eyebrows, and eye brow plucking chart
I thought I'd take the time to show my disgusting not-plucked-for-a-week-eyebrow. Yeah I really think un plucked brows look disgusting lol. So in this picture you can see a clear difference between my un plucked brow, and my newly plucked brow. My natural brows, I'd say are really bushy, like man brows lol! This means I constantly have to pluck them. I have never had anyone else but myself touch my eyebrows, and I've never had them threaded.
Tips for eye brow plucking with NO pain at all:
- A GOOD tweezer is essential. Can be either expensive or cheap, you just have to look around.
- When your plucking, don't just "drag" the hair out. Stretch the skin surrounding the area, and pull it out in the Same direction in which it is growing.
- It's a myth that you can't pluck above the brow, you can- but be careful, it's not likely that you will change the shape of your eyebrow here, only pluck excess hairs.
- If you have a big issue with pain when plucking, hold an ice cube against your skin just before starting to pluck, to numb the area.

I usually just get them waxed. I used to pluck, but then I realized that the results weren't the same as getting them done by a pro~
ReplyDeleteBut you're look so flawless.
Yeessss!!! Love this post!!! I need this because it gets hard for me to get to the spa and I have a horrible experience plucking....this guide is greatly appreciated.
ReplyDeleteGreat tips.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is very pretty. How I wish I encountered you before my wedding - for my bridal make-up. First time here and following. Will you mind following me?
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I usually go to a salon once a month to get my eyebrows waxed and did the "cleaning" myself in between visits. The lady is no longer there, so I have yet to find someone else. This post is really helpful, for now I have to do them myself :-)
ReplyDeleteI do my own eyebrows--plucking and sometimes waxing--just not often enough. :)
ReplyDeleteI pluck at home; After the shower makes it almost painless and easier because skin pores are open!
