No plans to trim those bushy eyebrows?
Ladies, may I tell you that clean and well defined eyebrows is the key to looking neat and refreshed? The eyebrows actually define the face. If the hair defines your image by 50%, the eyebrows is the next big factor that affects how you look.
Another is, if you are not big on make up, maintaining your eyebrow is essential. A naturally thick eyebrow can make the most beautiful woman looking masculine.
I don't mean you go ahead and pluck them crazy. I meant, shape them properly.
The biggest mistake other people make is they tweeze them too much making their eyebrows look like a divine mistake God committed upon his creation of that person. Ever seen a woman that looks so much of a snob? most likely her eyebrows are arched higher than the rest. It's called a "false expression" due to a "beauty malfunction". You have to remember, eyebrows play a major role in expression and has an important facilitative role in communication. Shaping your eyebrows incorrectly, like arching it too much, may send out a psychological signal that you are angry, when in fact you are not.
Eyebrows also help you define your personality. A bright and "lit-up" face is not because of make up, but rather it is because of well trimmed eyebrows. It brings attention to your eyes serving as a frame for your face. Thick eyebrows bring attention to just the brows, period.
Your eyebrows complement your eyes, lips, and facial structure. If you have a straight eyebrow, arching them might not look good on you. The best way to trim your eyebrows is to work with what type of eyebrow you have. If you arch them the wrong way, it will look prominent and out of place making you look weird.
Eyebrows also protect your eyes from sweat and other debris...so plucking them until they are only but a single line of their former "self" is not a good idea. It makes you look washed out and outdated. It will also add unnecessary maturity on your face e.g. makes you look OLD.
If you don't know how to, best to consult a professional. When it starts to grow back, it is easier to upkeep it yourself.
Eyebrow Threading is already available is salons around the city. It costs about Php100-150.
For those who are not familiar with eyebrow threading, it's a hair removal technique using a cotton thread instead of tweezers. The aesthetician pluck a clean line of hair all at once. Threading is the easier and quicker method of trimming the eyebrows. It is more precise than waxing and does not use harmful products.
Threading is highly recommended for those who use Retin-A, Accutane, or similar products.
For those who would like to try it on themselves, please! please! do it with a good mirror and in bright light. Do not tempt fate by trying this beauty trick in low light, or worse, in the dark! =P
TIP: The best time to pluck your eyebrows is the WEEK AFTER your first red day (period). It is when our body is least sensitive to hair removal ^.^
