Brows can be a source of insecurity for many people. We have all seen pictures of celebrities with perfectly shaped eyebrows and we compare our own to theirs. But remember, everyone’s eyebrows are different!

How does eyebrow waxing work and how can you do it?
Waxing your eyebrows may seem like a daunting task, but it’s actually quite simple! All you need is a good quality eyebrow wax and a steady hand.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get the perfect brows:
1. Begin by heating up your wax in the microwave for about 15 seconds. This will help to make the wax more pliable and easier to work with.
2. Next, use a small spatula to apply the wax evenly across your entire brow area. Be sure to go slowly and avoid getting any wax on your skin outside of your brows
3. Once the wax is applied, press a strip of clean cloth or paper over top and smooth it down firmly.
4. Let the strip sit for a few moments until it hardens, then quickly pull it off in one smooth motion in the direction of hair growth. If done correctly, all of your unwanted hairs should come off with the strip!
5. To remove any lingering wax residue, simply wipe away with a cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol or baby oil. 6. Finally, use a brow pencil or powder to fill in any sparse areas and give yourself perfect brows!
