Achieving mastery in tweezing your brows can be easier at home with the right tips and the tools entrusted by professionals.
Great Brows in 5 Steps With Fides' Tips
Tip #1: Pull Your Hair Back
“You will want to see your eyebrows clearly, to get the best results and make sure you are in a well-lit room, then gently brush your eyebrows up (an old mascara wand works perfectly) so you can see the natural shape.”
Tip #2: Start Tweezing The Arches In
“Holding the skin taut begin removing hairs under the arch pulling in the opposite direction the hair grows in. If you are removing any hair from the top of the brow, be cautious. Only take the fine hairs that are outside the shape, do not touch the long dark hairs.”
Tip #3: Stand Back
“It is important to stand at a distance from the mirror to see if the brows are looking visually balanced with each pluck. It is why professionals always work in front of a mirror, it gives them a better understanding of balance.”
Tip #4: Remove Fine Hairs
“Take out any hairs that are necessary to making brows even and once the shape is in, get close to the mirror and remove any fine, light hairs.”
Tip #5: Calm Your Skin
“If your skin is red or irritated, apply a soothing facial moisturiser with a cotton pad."

Rubis® Classic ProGrip
"Esteemed makeup artist Bobbi Brown has labelled these 'the Ferrari of tweezers' and it's no secret why. These are precision tweezers to a T! Unwanted hairs are removed at first go, and the slanted tip nestles perfectly to the curve of your eyebrows. They're designed so that the inner tweezer's heel grips the hair and pulls it out with the entire root, and this in turn slows down hair regrowth. They also easily grip even the finest of hairs, and the initial stubble of regrowing hair.
