Title says it all. I'm really insecure about my eyebrows and I haven't found a place that does them that I like, so I've been doing them myself for a while. Do you girls have any tips?

Always do it in bright light, so you can see even the smallest hairs. I also suggest you invest in a quality pair of tweezers, and it personally helps me to hold up my eyebrow with my other hand so that I can see the hairs and pluck them more easily because the skin is tight.

Draw a line and trace whatever is outside vso you don't overpluck.

Idk if you have one but you have these 'zooming' mirrors which make you able to see the smallest hairs and ofc a good tweezer, a bad one can ruin everything lol. And one last tip: don't go too far, I once did it and (gladly ) it has grown back but it took pretty long and it looked quite stupid.

Good tips ladies!!
I fill in my brows as usual. Make sure both are perfect then I pluck whatever isn't in the shape I made
-I also used to ice down my brow bone prior to plucking (I don't now since it doesn't hurt anymore)
- use my zoom side of the mirror, hold it before and look down into it

If it look like itll be too sparse don't pluck that bit out! I've made this mistake before :p.

I have this problem too, I use a pencil/gel or whatever to shade them in to draw the shape I want to achieve, just pluck the hairs outside what you've drawn, don't over pluck though.

Do it after a shower so your pores are more open and easier to pluck, if it's painful you can put an ice cube on the skin before so semi numb it :)
