How to waxed your eyebrow at home!

Here is another beauty tips for eyebrow.Waxing is an alternative way to plucking your eyebrows. It is the easiest way to do it and make your eyebrow more beautiful. However,to get the eyebrows waxed professionally, it can be too expensive, up to around $15 as a general rule, although salons do differ. If you have a constraint in your budget, here are some simple steps for you to try at home and of course,it can save your pocket too...

1) Preparing the Eyebrow

Brush the eyebrow into place with a baby toothbrush or clean mascara wand, so that their natural shape is neatly defined. Next, apply an astringent such as witch hazel to anesthetize the sensitive skin under the brow. Next follow these simple steps

Working out the length of the eyebrow

What you need to do is holding a ruler parallel to your nose.Then,level it with the inner corner of the eye, to work out where the brow should begin. If your eyes are close together, make the gap between the brows wider. If your eyes are far apart, do not wax the start line of the brow too much so that they are closer together. Mark the correct point with a dot.

Working out the curve of the eyebrow

You can work out where the highest point of the curve should be by holding a ruler from the edge of the nostril past the outer edge of the iris and up to the eyebrow. Mark the spot with a dot.

Final planning

Now link up the dots in a gentle arch to draw on the ideal shape of the eyebrow that you want to achieve. This will give you a guideline to go by when applying the wax.

2) Applying the Wax

Get a professional waxing kit.Each of these product varies slightly, so be sure to read the manufacturers directions carefully.

Warm up the wax to optimum temperature and use the small spatula to apply a thin layer of wax to the growth. Please be careful to avoid the wax dripping when it is applied. Apply wax with the hair growth under the eyebrow. You don't need to use much, and you should not let the wax dry.

3) Removing the Hair

This is the painful bit! So do it carefully...!

Never wax above the eyebrow, only ever shape from below. Waxing from under the brow will widen your eyes and help to get the line even. This will make you look younger and much more glamorous and beatiful if done correctly! When finish, remove the wax against the hair growth. This is done by gently smoothing a piece of cotton muslin over the waxed area, pulling the skin taut with one hand, and pulling the muslin off with the other.

4) The Aftermath

Any straggly hairs left over after waxing can be easily plucked out using a set of good tweezers. Apply a soothing balm like tea tree oil onto the area afterwards. You should avoid direct sunlight, acid based facial treatments, and liquid makeup for several hours.

To look more gorgeous, use an eyebrow pencil or tinted brow shadow to subtly fill in any gaps, and even out the natural color tone.
