Eyebrow Waxing Tips

Waxing is a fast and easy alternative compared to pluck your eyebrows. It is not recommended if you have very sensitive skin. It is best to get eyebrows waxed professionally but it is definitely expensive.

Eyebrow Waxing Tips

We have compiled some of the homely tips for you to do it.

• Brush eyebrow into place with a toothbrush or clean mascara wand, so that their natural shape is neatly defined.
• Apply an astringent to anesthetize the sensitive skin under the brow.
• Work out your natural brow shape by standing several feet away from a mirror
• Bring a professional waxing kit from market - basically a jar or tub of wax which can be warmed up in boiling water and applied with a small applicator or spatula, and (usually muslin) removal strips.
• Warm up the wax to optimum temperature and use the small spatula to apply a thin layer of wax to the growth. Make sure that you only use a small amount of wax on the spatula to avoid the wax dripping when it is applied.
• Apply wax with the hair growth under the eyebrow, (i.e. in the same direction that the hair grows in).
• Never wax above the eyebrow, only ever shape from below. Waxing from under the brow will widen your eyes and help to get the line even. As soon as it is applied remove the wax against the hair growth. Do this by gently smoothing a piece of cotton muslin over the waxed area.
• It is a good idea to take a little hair off at a time, especially if you have fairly this growth.
• Any straggly hairs left over after waxing can be easily plucked out using a set of good tweezers. Apply a soothing balm like tea tree oil onto the area afterwards.
• To give the gorgeous new eyebrow shape, use an eyebrow pencil or tinted brow shadow to subtly fill in any gaps, and even out the natural color tone.
