Farmers Pluck Chickens, but Ladies Tweeze


I have seen so many girls who do not or do not know how to or are not allowed to tweeze their eyebrows. This article is for those of you that are allowed to do your eyebrows. If you are not allowed to do your own eyebrows, then I encourage you not to try to do it on your own. Just as I warned about your legs, I am warning about your eyebrows. My little sisters have attempted to do their own eyebrows and, I will just say this, it did not turn out well. For those of you who can do their own brows, this is for you.

Before you begin tweezing your eyebrows, be sure that you know how far in and out or up and down to go. Here is a scale of what you brows should look like.

*Never, never, ever shave any part of your eyebrows. Your eyebrows may never grow back the same.

If you hold an eye pencil to the side of your nose, this is where your brown should begin. Tilt is to the end of the corner of your eye and you'll see where you brow should end.


Another method that some girls use is waxing. You would probably be better off going to a professional for this. It is a faster and easier method. Your eyebrow area may be red and irritated for a while afterwards, but it lasts a little longer that tweezing.


Here are some different ways that you groom your eyebrows.

You can use a nice styling tool to groom your eyebrows, or you can use a clean toothbrush. They both have the same effect. To keep your brows in one place, your can apply clear mascara.


If you have gaps in your brows from previous overtweezing, you can use brow pencil or brow powder. Although, if you do not have gaps in your brows, do not use these fillers


because your brows will appear much darker that they should. If you do have a gap, use a color that is exact or VERY close to the natural color of your brow hair.

To decide which shape for your brows is the right shape you can get your parent's permission to visit the EyeBrowz.
