How To Use An Eyebrow Razor At Home For Quick Shaping & Plucking

Tweaking, plucking, cropping, etc., are really not very kind to the two tiny eyebrows we own. Whether men or women, so many times, we skip the salon appointments, thinking about the pain of eyebrow shaping.

Yet some such unavoidable and important meetings or occasions come up and we finally land up at the salon to get our eyebrows in shape and get groomed.

An easy alternative to do the eyebrow shaping in a simple method at home is getting an eyebrow razor. Easily available in cosmetic stores or online portals, getting the eyebrow razor will lessen your salon visits, save your time and let you do the eyebrow shaping at the comfort of your home.

Along with the eyebrow razor, you would require a scissor, lotion or an eyebrow wax, cream, mirror and cotton balls to do the eyebrow shaping at home.

Using an eyebrow razor, the shaping can be done by yourself looking at the mirror. Also, an expert can do your eyebrows using the razor.

Now, before you start wondering on how exactly to use the eyebrow razor, then here is a step-wise guide for you on how to use an eyebrow razor at home.

How To Use An Eyebrow Razor At Home?
When using the eyebrow razor to shape/curve your brows at home, you need to be careful at every step, such that you don't get a cut. Also, one wrong move of the eyebrow razor can overpluck or under-pluck your brows, badly affecting the look of your face.

Requisites:

• A moisturizer or eyebrow wax
• Shaving cream (for Men)
• A mascara brush or an eyebrow comb
• A pair of scissors
• Tissue papers
• A tiny tweezer
• Mirror
• Hair band
• Cream or cooling gel
• Eyebrow razor with a clean blade
• Cotton balls

Process:

• Sit in front of the mirror and put on the hair band, so that your forehead is clearly visible along with the eyebrows.
• Apply the moisturizer or the eyebrow wax generously on the eyebrows.
• Now, use the mascara brush or the eyebrow comb and brush your brows upwards, so that the extra long hair is clearly visible.
• With the tweezers, clear all stray hair around your eyebrows. Use the tweezer for hair far away from your eyebrows and do not go near the eyebrow at any cost. Even one wrong pluck of the hair from the eyebrow can spoil its shape.
• Use a tissue to wipe off all the extra hair and then you can shape your eyebrows using the razor.
• Please note, you have to always use the eyebrow razor in an opposite direction of hair growth.
• So, when you do the top of the eyebrows - move the razor from your head to the downward direction, towards the lips. Gently stroke the razor to clear all the extra hair and gradually move towards the eyebrows to give them the right shape. Ensure after every move that the eyebrow hair is removed from the roots and no black spot stays back.
• When you come beneath the eyebrow, your razor should move from the outside towards the carucula (red part) of the eyes.
• Every move, especially beneath the eyebrows, is important, as this gives the final shape to your eyebrows.
• Once done, if you still see that there are long hair strands popping out from your eyebrows, use the scissor to give it a final shape.
• When you do the center of the eyebrows, then be very gentle and try moving from the center to each of the eyebrows on left and right, respectively.
• When the complete eyebrow-plucking session using an eyebrow razor comes to an end, massage a gel or cream over the area for a good, soothing feeling (exactly how it happens in the salon).

Tips On Using The Eyebrow Razor

When shaping your eyebrows using the razor, here are some tips that you can follow to ensure safety and a good look:

• Eyebrow razor is a tricky tool used in a delicate part of your body. Therefore, go for good brands or expensive ones when buying it.
• After you use the eyebrow razor every time, do wash and clean it thoroughly.
• Do not be in any hurry when doing the eyebrows with a razor, as it increases the chances of accidents.
• For beginners, lining out the eyebrow shape with a kajal pencil helps to get the right shape.
• In case you get a cut or wound, than panicking first, blot it using a cotton and do the required first-aid thereafter.
• Lastly, be gentle and careful at every stroke of the eyebrow plucking with the razor, as one wrong move can end you in a mess. Even beauty enthusiasts have accepted that they have either over-plucked or under-plucked their brows when beginning to use a razor for the first time. So, being cautious at every step of using the razor is a must.
