Everyone has facial hair, but hair often appears that it is not supposed to be in some face regions. In the form of eyebrows and eyelashes, upper lip, chin, and both sides of the face, men typically have hair around their eyes. Women, in general, have only visible hairs in the form of eyebrows and eyelashes. Men will routinely get rid of the hair above their upper lip, chin, and both sides of the face if they want to look well-groomed and clean cut. For several women, stray hair can also appear in those areas, which can be an enormous embarrassment. Other parts of the face may be between and around the eyebrows, with unwanted hair. In this particular area, too much hair makes the person seem unkempt and less attractive.
How To Use Eyebrow Razor on Face
Traditional methods of hair removal include shaving, using waxing, and depilatory creams. For men, shaving the face is the most common method, though women do not prefer it. Particular attention must be paid to the shaving technique used to prevent nicks and cuts from ending up. It is essential to use shaving cream or gel when using a regular razor blade and make sure the edge is sharp and never blunt. Always shave with a razor along the direction of hair growth but when using an electric shaver against the grain. Also, depilatory creams are commonly used to remove facial hair, particularly in the upper lip area. Apply the cream, wait a few minutes for easy removal, and the hair will break apart. It is painless and easy to use, but harsh chemicals do exist. Waxing is a solution involving pain, but it is a speedy process and removes the hair from the follicle, so it will make the hair a lot longer to grow out.
A perfectly shaped eyebrow starts at the inner eye corner and ends just outside the outer eye corner. If you are holding a pencil to the outside corner of your eye against your nose’s side, your eyebrow tail should end on the pencil. Your eyebrow arch should be located directly outside your iris.
It can be challenging to achieve a perfectly shaped eyebrow, especially if you have coarse, long, or sparse eyebrow hairs. One wrong picked inch might leave a bald spot or patch on your brows, which will take months to fill, depending on the rate of growth in your eyebrow.
Benefits of Shaving Eyebrows
There are various guidelines to follow when shaping your eyebrow to avoid any accidents. The first is never having your eyebrows waxed. Wax doesn’t offer the required level of precision in the eyebrow area, and a little spilled wax might accidentally remove a large chunk of your brows. Instead, get your brows professionally threaded, or if you’re shaping your brows, use tweezers of satisfactory quality or shape your arch with a razor.
Another rule of thumb to shape your eyebrows is never to remove hair from your brows. Eyebrow growth direction means withdrawing from the top will cause uneven patches in your eyebrows. Instead, shape the arch from below, and do so very slowly. Use a white eyeliner pencil to mark your desired shape and work carefully, removing just a few hairs a day. Overzealous plucking could result in months of exaggerated arching and shocked expression.
How To Use Eyebrow Trimmer Perfectly:
It would be best if you never underestimated your eyebrows’ impact, no matter what your age, face shape, or coloring.
Eyebrows can make or break your look, affecting if you pass as a genetic female or not.
You may wish to consult a professional for the perfect shape, depending on how ‘manly’ your eyebrows are. Then you can try to keep the form yourself, with regular tweezing.
While brow shapes do come and go, the basics of shaping usually remain the same. So I want to offer some tips to help you create your perfect eyebrows.
For most women, the most flattering eyebrow shape is a smoothly round, long brow with a gentle arch that tapers to one point.
Whether your eyebrows are rounded, straight, or heavy, the following guidelines could be used to create the perfect shape.
STEP 1:
If you shave, pluck or have sporadic growth, leave them alone for at least six weeks so you can see how much of an eyebrow you’ll have to work with and start defining what kind of shape they’re naturally inclined to do too. Because to look good, you need to shape your eyebrows in harmony with the way your brows grow naturally.
The biggest mistake I see with my customers is over plucking or shaving or plucking the wrong eyebrow parts. The most significant offenses are plucking the outer corner (near your temple), the inner portion close to your nose, and the eyebrows arch. A good thumb rule is to keep your eyebrows’ basic shape in perfect harmony at every point to the inner and outer corners of your eyes.
What you need to do most is relax. Since you are shaping your brows using an eyebrow shaver, there’s no room for jitters. Shake the nerves off and focus on creating a beautiful set of brows.
Step 2:
Second, position yourself with plenty of light, in front of the right mirror. I would also suggest preparing the area with a warm, moist flannel (as you would before shaving) as this opens the pores and helps make it a little more comfortable. I’m not going to pretend it’s not hurting-it does, especially the first time! How much is dependent on your pain threshold-mine isn’t too big, so I usually have to take it easy!
Step 3:
Now it’s time to set a ‘Stencil’ for the perfect use of your eyebrow razor. To do so, you will need an eyebrow pencil (preferred double-ended pencil). If you have no brow pencil, use a white pencil and a separate brush or eyebrow comb. Brush your brows both upwards, followed by a too dark application of the brow pencil to fill the arches. The areas which are filled with a pencil should be your guide during the shaving process. Apply short, feathery strokes, and try to get the most desired shape as accurately as possible.
Step 4:
Your goal should be to trim anything outside of your ‘stencil,’ i.e., the area filled with a brow pencil. As your hair strands are straight now, it will be easy to determine which ones have grown too much and need to be shaped accordingly.
Step 5:
Once you’re done with the razor, start shaping your eyebrows. First, remove the delicate strands of hair that grow between your brows (right above your nose). You need to grab the razor straight up for this and use the complete ‘vertical comb attachment.’ Make sure that small strokes are applied by moving it only from one side to another (horizontal sweep) in the opposite direction to hair growth.
Step 6 :
Take a soft towel from the razor and wipe off the trimmed hair strands. You must also change the razor’s wide tip with a smaller one, either square or rectangular. Now, the rest of the shaving is ready to go ahead.
Step 7:
Usually, the upper parts of our brows do not have outgrown hair. If you do have any, however, you can remove them with the razor. Hold the razor straight down for this, and move it in the direction of your hair growth – along your brows’ natural shape.
Step 8:
Now shave your brows underneath. You must start from the highest points or ‘arches,’ and carefully cut off all the stray hair strands below them. The razor should be moved in tiny, tight strokes along the lower section of the pencil area. You are advised to apply little pressure while dragging the razor onto your skin.
Step 9:
Take a very close look at both of your eyebrows when you’re done shaving. From every angle, they should look symmetrical and even. If any stray hair strands stick out, trim them down.
Step 10:
Finally, wipe both of your eyebrows with a warm washcloth off the surrounding areas and apply a good brow gel to the site. By holding the hairs in their places, it will retain the perfect shape of your brows.
With whatever method you choose, you can achieve great looking eyebrows. However, waxing eyebrows is rapidly becoming a choice for many women and men due to convenience and low cost. Waxing brows is a great way to enhance your facial characteristics and help you put your best face forward.
