- visualize what you're trying to do. There are different eyebrow styles but the majority share the same three characteristics:

1. the space between the brows should be the same as the width of your eye or very slightly wider
2. the brows should end on the diagonal line from your nostril to the outside of your eye
3. the brow arch should be at it's highest point on the straight line that passes from your nostril and continues passed the outside of your iris

- take a bath/shower or at least wash your face thoroughly before starting. This will make you skin soft and supple.

- use a good mirror preferably in natural light so you can really see what you're doing

- brush your eye brows from inside to out and then from bottom to top

- pluck half a dozen hairs from one brow and then do the same to the other.

- stand back and check how this looks in the mirror. If it's uneven or you want to pluck some more, do so. But remember, only do a few hairs at a time. This way you will avoid the dreaded bald look.

- after plucking your eye brows will be red and a little sore for at least half an hour. Apply a soothing gel to the area to help reduce the irritation. And when the redness dies down, look in the mirror and admire your stunning new curves.
