Going out for dinner tomoz, needing them waxed but cant get an appt. 
Do any of you 'pluck' them yourselves? I'm tempted to run riot with the tweezers but a bit scared I'll make a mess of them ....... 
Colin hates when I get them done btw, he says he prefers them bushy

Yes I do, and I really like mine.. not to blow my own trumpet.
When I was younger and just starting I used to draw a line around my eyebrows with a eyebrown pencil as a sort of guide that might help. Otherwise, make sure you have sharp tweezers and only remove hairs from the underside of the arch.

Lawrah I've just been snooping at your eyebrows on bebo
They do look good, how often do you pluck them?
I once got told that waxing wasn't a good option, cos the skin there is tender and goes saggy when you get older and waxing speeds up that process

Ive never heard that before jade and im a therapist.
My nan has been having hers waxed for years and hers are only lower now due to the fact that she is like 70 odd.
Plucking is good it just doesnt always get the hairs by the root which means they might grow back alot quicker. Tweezers are generally used for shaping anyways.

I pluck mine, normally when i just get out of the bath as it doesnt hurt as much..
I just pluck around the normall shape, removing any stray hairs, makesure you pull in the direction of the hair is growing though, and i was advised to not pluck from the top of your eyebrow...
I always stick a lot of moisturising cream on afterwards to

Oh my god, I never realised it was so random
I've never had my eyebrows waxed...I always pluck mine
Mine are pretty much shaped though and I only need to pluck stray ones
I have a scar under one, and it can be a bit sore around it
