Tweezing your eyebrows can make a huge difference in your appearance. Though it might not seem like it, taking the time to shape your eyebrows can make your eyes look larger, brighter and give your face a more youthful look. Tweezing your eyebrows the wrong way can make your face look strange, however, so it's important to use the proper tweezing technique to achieve perfectly arched eyebrows.
Step 1
Take a pencil and hold it vertically in front of your eye. Place it against your nose, in line with your nostril and hold it straight up and down next to your eye. This is where your eyebrow should begin--mark this point with white eyeliner. Then, hold the pencil in front of your eye, straight up and down alongside the outside edge of the colored part of your eye. Mark the highest point of your eyebrow arch. Lastly, place the pencil at an angle from the edge of your nose to the outside edge of your eye. This is where your eyebrow should end. Mark it with white eyeliner. Draw the shape of your eyebrow by connecting the three white eyeliner marks.
Step 2
Use small scissors to trim longer eyebrow hairs. Your goal is to make the hairs neat and trimmed, not so sparse that once your eyebrows are tweezed, there will be empty gaps.
Step 3
Using your tweezers, hold them at an angle against your skin and grasp a hair that falls outside the white eyeliner shape. Pull the hair swiftly in the same direction it grows. It should come out easily.
Step 4
Tweeze all the hairs that fall outside of your white eyeliner. Continue plucking in the same direction as the hair. If it hurts too much, use ice to numb the area before proceeding.
Step 5
Repeat this same procedure for the other eyebrow, paying special attention to keep it the same as the first one.
