9 tweezing dos and don'ts
Before you wield those tweezers with reckless abandon, heed Dilio's top tweezing dos and don'ts.
DO plan your eyebrow grooming time. Have all supplies ready. Choose your favourite type of tweezers; Tweezerman offers a variety of options such as slanted, pointed or wide grip.
DO tweeze after a shower or bath. The hair follicles will be more relaxed, making tweezing easier.
DO brush hairs up and out, with a Spooley brush, to get a full picture of your brow potential.
DO clean your tweezers with 99 per cent alcohol.
DO use a magnifying mirror along with a regular mirror to ensure you maintain a proper perspective -- and don't get fixated on tweezing.
DON'T use an ice cube to numb the area before tweezing. It constricts the hair follicle, making tweezing more painful.
DON'T tweeze in a hurry. This is how mistakes happen. It's important to take your time and do it right.
DON'T tweeze one entire eye and then switch to the other. Go back and forth from each brow to ensure balance and to avoid bald spots.
DON'T use alcohol or astringent to finish and clean the area. To calm and smooth skin, witch hazel is much gentler and effective. Tweezerman's After Tweeze Smoothing Cream was awarded one of the most innovative beauty products of the year in 2007.
If you're not comfortable shaping and tweezing (or waxing or threading) your brows yourself, visit a professional. An esthetician can show you how to wear this look in a way that best suits the shape of your face and highlights your best features.
