Very Important
Best to do in natural light.
Look in a normal mirror, not magnified.
How do I do it?
Using an old mascara comb, brush through you eyebrows.
Now brush them up and place your finger on the brow area,you will see the stragglers will be untidy and randomly outside the regular eyebrow shape.
take a small pair of nail scissors and trim carefully away the stragglers, the ones which are far longer than the other hairs.
Now brush hairs down the way and again trim stragglers.
This is more important as you get older because sometimes the hairs become unruly but also a little more sparse. And so not always good to just pluck as thin eyebrows age the face but by trimming you remain polished looking.
What is the best type of brush to use?
You can buy mascara brushes, or just wash out an old mascara wand
What scissors should you use?
The smallest you can find, nail scissors are perfect.
How do you know which hairs to cut?
The hairs which need trimming will be a couple of mm's longer than your regular eye brows and will be obvious. They are normally the curly ones. Some people wont find any at all, if you don't see any obvious ones skip this step and go straight to shapeing which I'll discuss next. Always remember less is more when shaping brows!
How to find perfect the shape of your brows.
Apply bongela to area.
Take a good look in the mirror. Try to be as object as possible.
Take a pencil and place at corner of nose.
Now end of eyebrow,
The highest point of the arch of your eyebrow should be the end of your iris
Can you make plucking less painful?
You can run an ice cube over the area first, or use the gel you put on babies gums when they are teething. To take down redness afterwards you can rub a few eyedrops in, witch hazel is also pretty good.
