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)

ok so i want to start plucking my eyebrows but are they gonna be all red and stuff? i dont want them to be and if they are, i want the redness to go away as fast as possible!! any advice??? please help!!




Hey girlie, a trick that I learned is to use eye drops that make redness go away on your eyebrows. Just put a few drops on your finger and rub it wherever there are red spots.

Dear MOD,
i keep over plucking my eyebrows. It's getting realy old now and my parents finally noticed and now they're mad cause I'm 'too young'. What do I do while they are growing out and to keep from this happening again?




Hey girlie, draw a line on your eyebrow with an eyeliner pencil or something else that will come off easy so you know where you need to stop plucking. In the meantime, use an eyebrow pencil that matches your eyebrow to fill in what's missing.

MOD!!!
So I'm 15 and I think it's time I start doing my eyebrows! But I don't know how and I'm kids scared. Can you help??? Thanks Smile




Hey girl, I'd suggest getting your mom to help you the first time or getting them waxed with her. It's important you have a parent that first time to make sure you get the shape right.

MOD MOD MOD this is urgent and nes to b replied really bad (not trying to be pushy but its bad) So i was plucking my eyebrows and before i knew it the inside parts to my eyebrows (the part closest to my nose) was shaved off!!!! will brown eyeliner work insted of a broww pencil? and will it b noticable? thanx a whole lot! luv the website!

 

Hey girl,

So were you plucking with tweezers or shaving? It's definitely better to use tweezers — I don't think you're supposed to shave your eyebrows. For the time being, brown eyeliner will probably work as long as it is about the same color as your eyebrow hair. It may be noticeable but you should try to blend it into your hair in a way that isn't overly noticeable. Fix your eyebrows in front of a mirror so that you are sure it will look OK. For the future, maybe you could draw out a guideline with your eyeliner/eyebrow pencil, and then pluck the spaces that are around that. It's normally best to only pluck from the bottom. You could also get your eyebrows waxed at a salon and then pluck to follow the eyebrow shape that was waxed.
