Whats better? waxing or plucking your eyebrows when finding your shape?

I'm about to lay a lot on you. It depends on preference. Some people would rather wax since it lasts longer. Some people (like myself) don't mind the maintenance plus I cant afford waxing it all the time since I am a stay at home momma. Some girls make the mistake of thinking the goal is to reshape the entire brow when really you should just be tweezing to enhance and accentuate their natural curve.


This is what I do


1- prep: use white eyeliner pencil %26amp; hold it against the side of your nose. So then use the pencil to mark the spot where the tip of it meets your brows, then tilt it diagonally so the tip rests on the outer corner of your eye %26amp; mark that spot (these are the start %26amp; end points for the length of the brow)





2- outline your brow: on the bottom edge of the brow,use the pencil to mark the highest point of your arch which should fall above the outside edge of the iris. Then you connect the dots you have marked so far in a curve that mimics the way your eyebrow naturally arches on top. Go over the curve until its about eighth of an inch thick.





3- Pluck: tweeze the hairs that fall outside the white border starting at the inner edge working your way out to the tail. i suggest you change eyes after every 3 or 4 plucks to make sure they stay even and symmetrical. When your finished just wash off the liner and check brows to see if you need to touch up any uneven spots


Only pluck once a week when it becomes obvious. once you get the general shape, the less you alter them, the better they will look trust me.





4- (optional of course) use brow pencil and powder to fill in any gaps in your brow. Make sure to use short light strokes with a pencil starting at the inner edge of the top of brow. Apply powder with an angled brush then run a spooley brush through them to distribute the powder evenly. Its important to blend so you dont have a harsh affect, then use wax to help them stay in place. Smashbox has a great powder/wax combo you can order at Sephora. I'm sure you think im nuts for typing all of this but eyebrows are soooo important. A lot of women dont understand! They can make you look 10 years younger if they frame your face right (for older women) make your eyes look bigger and you face seem slimmer. They frame the face and to abuse them is a travesty. Please never ever shave them. Eventually they will not grow back and as we age the eyebrows become thinner so imagine having to draw them on, it isn't very attractive.

Do you mean to get the shape of your eyebrows? If so, you can't go wrong with either one. But if you pluck, you have the risk of over plucking as opposed to having a professional gage the arch and then going over them again to make sure it's the cleanest possible. But, if you have large pores and tend to break out easily, do not wax. I have large pores and when they use hot wax, I spend the next week popping pimples filled with wax (sorry, but you have to consider these things). Threading is also a good choice as it has minimal pain and no wax involved.Whats better? waxing or plucking your eyebrows when finding your shape?
i would go to a salon and have your eyebrows waxed. tell the person doing it you want them shaped. they'll find what looks good on you and you'll have a nice arch :] then, you can tweeze / pluck your eyebrows as the hair starts to grow back to keep the shape in





i wouldn't recommend waxing / plucking them yourself for shape though, because if you mess up, they'll look really bad, and it's easy to mess up your first time

plucking because if you its harder to make a mistake.also it dosent hurt as much coz yur taking out one hair at a time with waxing you take out a whole lota hairs at a time. easy to make a mistake.
waxing looks better but can cause damage to the skin and sagging when your older. Plucking is better for you but hurts like crazyyyyy
u can try having them threaded at an Idian threading shop. They shape the thread some way with their hands and use it like sissors to cut it
get them threaded!! its hurts a bit more but for some reason its so detailed and precise, its really the best way to go ;)
Neither. Go get threaded. It doesn't hurt as much and it's easier to shape.
plucking, your less likely to rip off a whole chunk
