2 Eyebrow Shaping Tips to Follow BEFORE Waxing Your Brows
For women who need to look their best whenever they leave the house here are two eyebrow shaping tips to follow before waxing or tweezing:
1. if your brows are fair, tint the hair BEFORE shaping. Know how much hair you have to work since peach-fuzz may be invisible, but can provide a means to achieve a more natural shape. Once you can see ALL the hair, then you may choose a shape.
2. many eyebrow shaping tips provide details on how to tweeze / wax but don’t explain how to find the starting / ending points. Using the eye alone may lead to uneven brows or overly thin designs. Before picking up tweezers or getting out the wax, create a design to follow. The best way is by using a professional eyebrow stencil. The starting point can be calculated by measuring an eye. The space between brows is one eye length. Now, place the stencil and draw an outline using a white highlighter pencil.
Once you can see the hair available {because it’s been tinted}, and you have a basic outline to follow, here’s how to wax your eyebrows:
1. Choose a warm wax kit. Heat the wax. Use a spatula to apply a thin layer in the direction of hair growth without getting any inside the outline. Place muslin strips over the wax. Press, then pull in the opposite direction.
2. Tweeze stragglers outside the white outline. Use oil to eliminate excess wax. Apply ice to reduce redness and then a soothing aloe gel. Wait 24 hours for bumps / redness to fade.
