Things you should know before shaving your eyebrows at home 

How much eyebrow hair you should pluck or wax?

Be it tweezing or waxing, while you are doing your eyebrows your golden rule should be to eliminate only the least amount of hair you can, at least if it’s your first time, this is said by, Tee Hundley, the owner of Suite Tee Beauty Studio in Jersey City.

According to her, once you take off too much, you cannot add it back. Hundley also says that the shape of the eyebrow is created from the top of the brow, so use a very minimalistic tweeze where there are obvious strays.

Do not trim your eyebrow hairs with scissors

It is obvious that you would have seen your stylist trim your eyebrows with scissors in a parlor to get that face-framing look. But it is really difficult to get that look and do that at home with scissors. Tee Hundley says, “Trimming the brows can be tricky and seriously change the shape, and then the look of your face.

Opt for tweezing only if your waxing skills are not that perfect

Cayot, a popular beauty stylist says tweezing is much easier than waxing your eyebrows. Tweezing is also highly suggested when you’re doing your eyebrows at-home. It is accessible and easy than waxing which is quite risky for a beginner to do.

So, how to start with your eyebrows at home, here are the steps-

• Clean your skin first, before you start tweezing. Wash your face properly. Use a powder to prep your eye-brow area.
• Do not distract yourself and remember the natural eyebrow shape. Then pluck under your brow so that you don’t try to tweeze it into something new completely. So, you need to be cautious, careful, and restrained while maintaining your brows at home.
• Start with ease, while holding your skin stiff and moving slowly. Before you start tweezing if you catch your skin taut it will be easier and less painful. 
• Lastly, opt for a touch of hydration. Hundley suggests applying a lightweight oil after tweezing, which can reduce redness and sting.
