Getting the perfect eyebrow shape is important to a lot of women because it helps to frame and define the face beautifully if done right. Eyebrows are a major aspect of the face and when they look good, they make the face stand out. Some people are blessed with healthy eyebrows that grow back no matter what tweezing methods they have been subjected to, while other people have to take extra caution to maintain the little they have. Tweezing involves carefully picking out hairs from the brows and plucking them out to give them a certain shape, the process involves a lot of precision and patience, so the following tips should prove useful:
1. Tweeze after shower: One of the best times to tweeze your brows is after a warm shower as this helps to soften the hairs and open up your pores for easy plucking. Once the pores are open and the hairs become softer, tweezing gets easier with little pain involved. Alternatively, you can hold a warm towel against your brows to soften the hair follicles and open the pores for easy plucking.
2. Know your shape: Before you start tweezing, it is important to know the exact shapes you want to create. This way you can pluck the hairs in the direction which they grow and follow the brow line. Another way to do this is to use an eye pencil to draw your brows in the shape you want, and then tweeze out the hairs that are not in place.
3. Select sharp tweezers: To minimize re-tweezing, you should select sharp tweezers that pluck the hairs out once and for all. Blunt tweezers will not pull them out sharply, rather they would stress the hairs without uprooting them and this means you have to re-tweeze. To save you the extra pain, when shopping for tweezers, ensure that you choose the sharpest and pointiest.
4. Use ice: After tweezing, you can hold some ice against your brows to numb the pain and make it feel less raw. The coolness of the ice will minimize the pain until you get used to it, also it can help in preventing inflammation and redness especially if you have sensitive skin on your brow area.
5. Take painkillers: Tweezing can be a little painful even if it is not the first time because it takes a while to get used to. The pain may cause a headache and make you irritable, so it is advisable to take mild painkillers after tweezing if you feel that you cannot handle the pain. However, if the pain becomes unbearable, you should stop tweezing entirely.

Great Post!
I don’t use tweezers as much as I used to but I literally have done all these steps minus painkillers. If you need painkillers to ease the pain, its not worth it. Waxing or threading may be easier!
I love thick full eyebrows, so it would be great if you could write up something about brow growth and keeping your hairs moisturized during hot and cold climates.
