3 speedy solutions to your biggest brow problems

 
Whether you went overboard with the tweezing or walked outta the salon with pink patches above your eyes, we’ve got quick fixes for common enemies of awesome arches.
 
The Prob: The urge to keep plucking.
Quick Fix: Once you’re two inches away from the mirror, it’s easy to go overboard and say “just one more hair...ten times” The next thing ya know, you’re stuck with two pencil drawings above your eyes. Avoid the urge by only plucking weekly (say, on Friday night). Otherwise, leave your tweezers in your beauty bag. And remember: natural-looking eyebrows are in, so only pluck stray hairs—not your entire arch.

The Prob: Tell-tale pink spots from waxing.
Quick Fix: Yanking hair off facial skin can leave reddish-pink patches behind. To soothe, apply a cold compress for a few minutes. Then, dab on a soothing product (avoid harsh chemicals on your sensitive skin, OK?). We like Clean + Easy Azulene Oil ($7, sallybeauty.com)
 
The Prob: Uh-oh. You (or your esthetician) was a little overzealous.
Over-plucking or waxing happens to the best of us. Use a brow pencil that matches (or is slightly lighter) than your arches to lightly fill a sparse patch. Don’t got all sortsa artistic on your face and completely redraw what’s missing. What you fill in should be light ‘n’ natural. Take a step back and look after every couple flicks of the pencil to ensure you’re spot-on. Try Shobha Brow Pencil ($16, myshobha.com)

My mom has taken me to get electrolysis on my eyebrows a few times, and I like how they look afterward, but it hurts really bad and after I'm done I have little red scabs over the hair follicles. Will my skin ever get used to the electrolysis? Is there a different way to get rid of the hair besides waxing or plucking or electrolysis?




Hey! I don't know too much about electrolysis so I can't necessarily speak to that, and nothing comes to mind in terms of other ways to remove hair, good luck!

I have never done my eyebrows before, & I have asked my mom to do them for me, but she won't. I don't know what to do with them. I don't like them bushy & the way they are. Can someone PLEASE tell me how to arch them? Or just pluck them?

i got my eyebrows waxed for the first time today. it actually didnt hurt that much. the esthetician both waxed and plucked my brows and honestly the plucking hurt more than the waxing! lol but they look great!

I need help so badly! I recently took off my acrylic nails and now my nail bed is now damaged! I don't know what to do! Can you help me please?

Hey Mel,

Fake nails are really bad for our natural nails, so believe it or not it's normal to experience peeling, tearing, or softening of our natural nails after we remove them. Unfortunately, the only thing to do is to wait for them to grow out completely. Use some more acetone nail polish remover to make sure all of the glue is gone. Afterwards, wash your hands and clip your nails so they're short and clean. t's important to keep them clean and well-groomed while they're growing, and you can also apply a fast-growing clear nail polish (like Sally Hansen) to help them along. Pamper your nails and nail beds with lotion every day - massage your cuticles (the little bits of skin by the nail bed) and just try to be patient!
