Is that a caterpillar on your face…?

7:45 pm — 

    Obviously, this has been a very busy semester for me, or I wouldn’t have neglected you all for so long! Actually, right now I am waiting to take an Econ. test and my brain just won’t absorb any more information about elasticities.

This week has been especially busy for me, and when I got a short break yesterday, I looked in the mirror- really looked. Not just a quick glance like I have been doing. And to my horror, I saw that my eyebrows were looking like two caterpillars that had planted themselves on my face. Unfortunately, I couldn’t do anything about it until late last night when I tweezed myself back to prettiness.

If you have found that you have let your eyebrows revert back to their natural (unattractive) form and you don’t have time to get them waxed, DO NOT PANIC. If you do, you could very well over-tweeze them and end up looking as if you had to draw them on. Trust me, this is not a good look.

The best time to tweeze is after a warm shower, when your pores have opened up. This will make the entire process a lot less painful (This is also good advice if you are tweezing/waxing any other areas of your body).

Again, take your time and really look to see what you are doing. Do not use a magnifying mirror continuously. Step back and look at yourself in a big mirror to see what the overall shape looks like on your face. When you do look in a magnifying mirror, you tend to want to take out more hair than is necessary.

I also like to trim the top of my brows and really long hairs to give them even more shape.

But if you are the type of person who doesn’t trust themselves not to go overboard with the tweezing, or you want to shape your brows, stick to a professional. Then, when hair begins to grow back, you can tweeze the errant strays while maintaining the overall shape.

GTG to my test.

Muah!
