Going to a salon or spa for eyebrow waxing can be costly, especially the constant upkeep. That is why many women are turning to at-home waxing as an inexpensive alternative. With so many new, easy-to-use products available, you don*t have to be a beautician to wax your own eyebrows.
Here is what you will need to get started:
Eyebrow brush 每 to get your brow hairs in proper position
White eyeliner or nail pencil 每 to outline the shape of your eyebrows
Tweezers 每 for single hairs the wax doesn*t pick up
No-heat wax kit 每 do not use hot wax!
Ice cubes (optional)
All of these items are readily available at drugstores. Now let*s get started!
Step one: Brush your eyebrows, going from in-between your nose outward. This will get all your hairs in their rightful places. Using your white pencil, trace the general outline of your brows. This will give you a natural shape to work with. Any hair that falls outside of the lines will be removed. Some guidelines: Your eyebrows should start right at the inner corner of your eye. Hold your white eyeliner pencil vertically from the corner to help find exactly where to ※start§ your brows. The arch of your eyebrow should be approximately above your pupil. Again, hold the eyeliner pencil vertically to double check the arch. This should be the ※peak§ of your eyebrows.
Step two: If your skin is extremely sensitive, rub an ice cube above, below, and between your eyebrows for a few minutes to numb the area. Most people do not need to do this 每 eyebrow waxing is a little painful, but only for a few moments. Following the directions on your wax kit, thinly spread a layer of wax on the area in between your eyebrows. Be very careful not to get any wax on any part of the hairs within the outline, because it could cause unwanted removal.
Step three (the painful part): Stretch your skin taut with one hand. Press the waxing strip (should be included in any standard waxing kit) across the wax area. Rub firmly to make it stick. Then, with one hand still holding skin taut, rip off the strip in the direction of the hair growth. When you*re doing in between your eyes, pull upward. You did it! Now, spread a thin layer of wax below your brow outline. This is most likely to be where the most hair will be removed. Press your waxing strip firmly on the wax. When you are doing the top or bottom of your brows, pull toward your ears (this helps to prevent ingrown hairs). Rip! Did you get all the hairs? If not, use your tweezers to get those stubborn few that refuse to budge. Now it*s time to do above your brows. Some people do not wax this part, usually because the shape is already natural looking. If you are trying to make your brows thinner than their natural shape, remove more from the bottom of your eyebrows, NOT from the top! Continue these steps until all hairs outside your white outline have been waxed. Rub an ice cube on the areas you have waxed to help ※calm§ the skin.
Maintain your eyebrow shape with regular tweezing, or let your hairs grow out and re-wax about once a month. |
