Eyebrow shaping at home?

You might want to do the first one at a really nice salon, the most you'll pay is about $12-20 , and that's at an expensive one.You can, however keep it up at home from then on.Imagine a line from the outside of your nostril up through the inner corner of the eye. Your brow should begin where the line crosses it. Tweeze any hairs that grow outside the line or fill in brows with powder if they don't reach. Then imagine a line from the outside of your nostril up through the eye's outer corner, that's where the brows should end. The arch should be where the imaginary line crosses the iris of your eye. Brows should be thickest at the inner corner of the eye and get thinner as the taper outward. You DO NOT want ';Spermie'; looking eyebrows or the ';Golden Arches';, or anything too thin or sharp and severe. They should NOT look like the were drawn in with a Sharpie pen at all.Eyebrow shaping at home?
leave the waxing to the pros but twezzers are nice in your car you can see what needs shaping better outside in your mirror.
Tweezers. Get a washable marker, not permanent, and just draw the shape that u want so u can pluck around it (courtesy of my girlfriend, she does her own and is hotter than fire)
tweezing doesnt hurt that bad just get a wash cloth as hot as u can and cleanse your eyebrows then start tweezing u can get a wax too for only $10
i highly DONT recommend that. the lowest u can pay is 6 dollars and its worht it rather than having f'ed up eyebrows. please believe me, i had that experience and i will NEVER do it again.
Dont shave. Dont use creams. Start out tweezing and once you get a base shape going, you can attempt to wax. A good wax is GiGi wax, and you can get that at Sallys. Dont use the hard stripless wax (if you mess up is hopeless), use the honey type wax for sensitive skin. Use a toothpick to apply the wax at first. As you get better you can upgrade to a popsicle stick or the special mini waxing sticks (which I use).





Once you've mastered waxing, if you happen to get busy let your brows go for a while, you can reshape them without tweezing to get a base shape again.





Its as not as easy as it looks. One little hair can mess up your whole brow, trust me. Just practice and remember less is more (removing less that is!)

Try Anastasia's Brow Shaping kit from Sephora. It comes with stencils for easy shaping.
Avon sells an eyebrow shaper for about $7.
Check out this month's issue of Seventeen. They did an article on eyebrow shaping.
Your best bet would be to go to a nail salon, and get them waxed, usually it only costs about 7-15 dollars. Ask around someone should know, then after doing that buy yourself some good tweezers, (revlon makes good reasonably priced ones) Use them following the shaping from the wax to pluck strays.
