You may look aggressive if your eyebrows slant upwards. Therefore youm must avoid taking off too much at the outer corners.

Use a cotton ball soaked in astringent to wipe the brow area for preparing your skin before tweezing your brows. The cooling effect causes bit numbness on your skin for sometime making you feel less pain.

Hold the tweezers at 45 degrees and then pluck the stray hairs, which are below the brow line towards the direction where hair grows.

In case you do not have dense brows, you must fill in the brow areas with light and quick strokes with the help of a freshly sharpened brow pencil.

You can get a natural and more defined look by brushing your brows with the use of a brow brush, dipped in brow powder in upward and outward strokes. This is one of the useful  eyebrow threading tips.

Always use the correct shade for your brows. Blonde shades can be good for fair women whereas tawny or brown can be used by olive colored women. Gray shades can be a good choice for dark African-American women.

Add volume to your brows by applying eye shadow in short gentle strokes with the help of a stiff and slanted brush.

In case of over tweezing in certain brow area, it is advisable to fill the patch with the use of brow shadow. Brow shadow can be applied towards the direction where hair grows.

Your brows get more natural look through eye shadow in comparison with the look you get through eyebrow pencil!

If you are an olive or dark skinned woman, you must make sure that the brow shade is about two shades lighter than your hair color. For blondes or women with gray hair color, the brow shade should be two shades darker than the color of their hair.

Before plucking you must get out of the shower so as to make it easier to pull out your hairs.

It will be a good idea to pluck eyebrows just before going to bed so that redness caused by plucking will disappear overnight. You can use your facial features to shape your eyebrows.

    Determine the shape for your eyebrows.

After brushing your eyebrows into place, remove stray hairs lying underneath the eyebrow arch and also anything else outside the natural brow line.

Pluck the hairs below the brow with the use of a pair of angled eyebrow tweezers. Avoid shaping your brow by plucking above it. Make sure to pluck one hair at a time.

Apply some thick face or body cream all over your eyebrow. Avoid rubbing it in. The cream will help soften up not only follicle but also the actual hair. It will also make your face soft altogether.

While plucking your eyebrows, use a large mirror to see an overall picture. Some people use a magnifying mirror or a compact to have a look at their whole brow, without bothering to know how it looks.

If you feel pain with  eyebrow plucking , you must lightly put some Anbesol (the stuff used for cold sores) on your eye lids before you start. You can also place ice cubes on your eyelids to numb the area, just before plucking.


    Which tweezer to choose for plucking eyebrows ?

The head of the tweezer must be sharp and pointy. M ake sure that it pinches are tightly closed. Use a pair of tweezers which can have a firm grip over the hair and don’t . slip every time you start to pluck. Tweezer without a tight grip can not grab unwanted hair effectively. Following are the types of tweezers:

Thin Tip Tweezer  : This type of tweezer can effectively grasp small, fine hairs, and pluck ingrown hair.

Slanted Tip Tweezer  : Gives maximum control.

 Square Tip Tweezer   : This type of tweezer can be used for removing coarse hairs or several hairs at a time.


    What to do if over plucked?

In case you have over-plucked your eyebrows, you would better select a natural looking brown eye shadow and apply it lightly and evenly with the help of an eyebrow brush consisting of firm bristles. Apply it by using short sharp strokes across the brow.

Since regrown hairs are often difficult to manage, it is advisable to apply a light coat of clear mascara to help keep them in place.

Avoid opting for the periodic fashions for highly plucked eyebrows. The fashions don't last for long while eyebrows can take ages to regrow!

It can be a good idea to stick with the eyebrow shape that you are having since your birth. Rather focus on removal of stray hairs in the areas underneath the arch and between the brows.

If you want to save money, you can find an affordable brush at your local drugstore. You can use angled brow brush for adding color. Thin brush with firm bristles can be used for brow management.

Step 3:  Tweeze stray hairs in between waxing and then move a brush across the brow, which is in the opposite direction of hair growth. You can create a clean brow line by tweezing or plucking any new or stray hairs. Avoid plucking too much as it may create an outdated thin brow look.

Step 4:  Choose an eyebrow color, which suits to your natural hair color. Select a color with two shades lighter than color of your hair if your hair color is brown, red or black. In case your hair color is light or platinum blond, you would better go two shades darker to get a dramatic look. In case of any doubt, it is better to choose a medium shade of brown, which works for just about any hair color.

Step 5:  After beginning in the middle of the brow, work your way to the outside. Concentrate on the areas of the brow having thin or light hair and fill them with short strokes. Build color with application of several light layers.

Step 6:  Fill the areas, which require more color or more definition, with the use of an eyebrow pencil. Avoid a harsh-looking upper eye line by using the pencil sparingly.

Step 7:  Create a softer look by smudging the color. While using short strokes, run the angled brush from the inner brow to the outer brow.

Applying Foundation

You can even out your skin tone and make your skin look attractive through foundation .

It is generally easy to  apply foundation,  but sometimes a lot of mistakes are made during application.

Here are some simple steps, which you can follow to look great.

     Wash your face


Always begin with a clean face. Apply good facial cleanser to gently wash your face and avoid rubbing. Rinse properly to remove all the cleanser.

Make sure that your face is well shaved before you move ahead for smooth application. While shaving use a gel or moisturizing shave cream to ensure closest possible shave and avoid nicks and abrasions. Application of foundation on face with cuts or tiny skin abrasions that are left after shaving might cause itching.

Refresh skin with the help of toner and give 30 minutes time to your skin to recover before applying makeup.

In case you have 10-15 minutes, it will be better to wear a natural clay masque (of tgcosmetics) and take a relaxing bath.

Apart from drawing out impurities from clogged pores the natural clay and Kaolin minimize the pore size leading to tightening and refining of skin to allow for smooth and easy application of make up. Moreover skin gets a firmer texture with the use of mask.


     Shaving 

An effective and successful application of makeup lies in smoothness of surface. Therefore it is advisable to shave right after a hot shower as heat and water not only hydrate the skin but also dilate the blood, opening the pores and making the hair more pliable and easier to cut.

You can get a smooth shave with the use of a swivel-head razor and or twin blades. Apply conditioning shave cream and toner as they not only make the shaving smoother but also leave the skin unharmed.

In case you are not willing to shower prior to shaving, you would better cover your face and neck with a hot and moist towel for about two minutes before shaving. Create lather for shaving during entire shaving process with the use of hot water.

Avoid scalding water. Determine the direction of the growth of your face and neck by examining your face closely prior to shaving.

Shave first in the direction that the hair grows as it cuts 80% of the hair besides avoiding razor burns, ingrown hairs and irritations. Lather once again and shave against the hair growth in order to ensure a closer shave from neck to cheeks, nose and chin.

Avoid applying too much pressure on razor as it may cause razor burns and obstructs closer shave.

After finishing shaving use cold water to rinse your face and neck and refresh skin. Application of cold water after-shave helps tighten pores. Pat your face dry without rubbing and in case of any bleeding from nicks use styptic pencil or moistened alum.

Since the thin layer of skin surface comes out in the entire shaving process it is essential to use a toner without fragrance or alcohol content like Vitamin C toner pads (which can be of tgcosmetics).

The skin tone gets a boost, proper nourishment and moisture required for growth of new cell with the use of the toner. Wait for 5 to 10 minutes to allow skin to settle down and then proceed with your next application step.

     Moisturize your face


Before you apply makeup, use a non-greasy facial moisturizer to create a thin layer of cream which keeps your skin's natural moisture in. After blotting off excess moisturizer to leave a fine layer on the skin wait for few minutes and then apply makeup.

Make sure to use the same light in which you will be  applying makeup.  Use electric light in the evening and sunlight in daytime. It will surely make a difference.

     Tips to apply foundation


Foundation soothes out the surface of your skin creating a base and allowing your makeup to adhere more evenly.

Follow the simple steps for proper application of foundation.

Choose right foundation color. If you do not choose right color, your foundation will go waste. Visit Cosmetic counter to get samples matching your specific coloring.

Apply dots of foundation on your cheeks, chin, forehead and tip of the nose with the help of a makeup sponge or the fingertips. The dots are blended together if sponge or fingertips are used. You need not necessarily apply it all over your face as you can apply in the selected areas.
