Do you have a love-hate relationship with your tweezers?
Know that you’re not alone.
Just think about the'90s beauty trend that was actually harmful to your brows.
Back then, everyone was sporting skinny brows and some say this trend is making a comeback.
But just because something is popular doesn’t mean it’s right for you.
Over-tweezing your eyebrows can ruin their shape and alter your facial expression.
“Brows are the most important element [of the face], key to expressiveness.
The truth is that your eyebrows can tell a lot about your personality.
For example, V-shaped brows are associated with hostility and anger.
On the other hand, people with straight brows are perceived as rational, logical, and objective.
It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it.
But here’s something it’s possible for you to do in the meantime.
Fix overplucked brows with makeup
Replying to @kathy_mh3 how to fill in brows using pomade.
Choose a high-quality tinted brow gel, pencil, and/or powder in a color that matches your eyebrows.
Next, attempt to figure out theperfect eyebrow shape for your face.
Place a pencil along each side of your nose to determine where your brows should start.
An even better option is brow pomade, which usually lasts longer and helps create a more natural look.
Last, consider using translucent powder for a natural look.
Apply it with a thick brush over your brows, temples, and cheekbones.
Another good choice is thishighlighter powder from Maybelline, which offers a subtle, healthy glow.
Use a tiny amount over your eyebrows just enough to even out their color and hide darker tones.
Your best bet is to let your eyebrows grow and stop plucking them for a couple of months.
Celebrity stylist Joey Healy recommends putting down the tweezers for 15 weeks.
In the meantime, apply an eyebrow growth serum and tweak your diet to get faster results.
Shilpi Khetarpal, a dermatologist at theCleveland Clinic, recommends taking 3 to 5 milligrams of biotin per day.
Dr. Khetarpal also suggests using Latisse or over-the-counter serums containing 2% to 5% minoxidil.
Meanwhile, considerbrow lamination or microblading, especially if your brows are very sparse.
You could also try temporary eyebrow tattoos, which come in different shapes and colors.
