Women have been reshaping their eyebrows for thousands of years. It is by far the easiest and cheapest way to accentuate your natural beauty. The two most popular methods for eyebrow hair removal are tweezing or waxing.

Tweezing can be painful, especially the first few times you tweeze. Soon after, with regular reshaping, the tweezing is more uncomfortable than painful. Tweezing takes twice as long to complete than waxing but it is certainly more precise. With a tweezer, one can isolate individual hairs for a more control. As I've already stated, it's time consuming. That's problem number one. Two, one has to be very persistent if one wants that really clean look. There are some very fine hairs that are stubborn to say the least but if left, can make botch an otherwise decent reshaping.

Waxing is painful nearly each time, no matter how many times you've done it. The good news here is that, after a while it becomes less painful. Nonetheless, it is my favorite method for eyebrow reshaping. Simply because waxing completely removes the hair I don't want. I rarely need to go over it with a tweezer to remove fine hairs. Which allows me to wax the other brow. I don't have thirty minutes to reshape my eyebrows, I have fifteen minutes at the most. It takes forty-five seconds to warm the wax in my microwave. While it's warming and cooling a bit, I ready my supplies (muslin strips, meat skewers, eyebrow brush, wax removal oil, and cotton balls). There is some artistic skill involved with using wax for reshaping. One should at least determine the shape they desire first, else they become disappointed with the outcome.

No matter the method you choose, if you are unsure about your skill level, stop BEFORE you smear wax or take the tweezers to your brows and seek the counsel of a professional.

It's infinitely easier to maintain the shape you get from a professional than to fix a botch eyebrow reshaping.

Either way, good luck and choose wisely! Eyebrows don't need to be scary they are your friends.
