Some may find the task of plucking their own eyebrows somewhat daunting, especially if they haven’t been doing it themselves for the past 15 years, like I have.

I started plucking my eyebrows at the age of 16, when thinner, plucked and shaped eyebrows were just starting to come in. This was the time when very, very thin and very arched eyebrows were in.

Think early Pamela Anderson eyebrows, that’s what I was going for. Of course, now I look back at picture of myself with these super-thin eyebrows and think I look completely ridiculous, but that’s beside the point. Here’s why I prefer to pluck my own eybrows :

1.) Less time consuming than going and getting them professionally plucked or waxed.

2.) Instead of worrying about too many hairs coming out in one fell swoop with waxing, I have complete control over how my eyebrows will look.

3.) I can get any missed hairs in between major pluckings, and make for very light maintenance.

4.) Once you get good at it, you won’t believe how many compliments you’ll get on your eyebrows!

5.) With a good pair of tweezers, you’ll save yourself hundreds of dollars in professional appointment to get your brows done. Not only that, you’ll shape them how you think looks best on you, not how someone else thinks your brows would look best.
