How to Fix Overplucked Eyebrows
Went to town with the tweezers? Here’s your no hassle fix.
Instructions
- Step 1: Select a pencil and eye shadow Select a pencil a shade lighter than your brows. If you eyebrows are very light, make the pencil a shade darker. Choose an eye shadow that matches your eyebrow color.
- Step 2: Comb brows in place Comb your brows in place with a brow comb. Look for thin and bare spots or uneven areas to fill in.
- Step 3: Pencil in brows Pencil in brows using short, feathery strokes. Work from the front of the eyebrow to the back using a light touch. Make sure the brows are symmetrical.
- TIP: Use a soft pencil for easier blending.
- Step 4: Fill in with eye shadow Use a damp, angled makeup brush dipped in eye shadow to blend color into the brows.
- TIP: Use a lighter shadow where brows are thickest and a darker shadow in thin spots.
- Step 5: Set brows Set brows in place with brow gel or a spritz of hairspray applied with your finger.
- TIP: Condition brows regularly with castor oil - a great, natural brow conditioner.
- Step 6: Consider minoxidil Consider using a minoxidil preparation for seriously over plucked areas, which will spur regrowth. Dab on with a cotton swab twice daily for up to four months.
- Step 7: Don't tweeze Hide your tweezers until your brows grow back!
- FACT: The function of eyebrows is to prevent sweat and debris from entering the eye.
