Plucking eyebrows...?

Question

Is it as painful as some people make out? And any other general tips on what to do, or what not to do...?

Answer 1

it stings a little but its not that bad.

if you soak your face with warm water before it opens your pores and it will be easier to get them out:)

or you could think about getting them waxed this is not painful at all well i dont think it is.  

Answer 2

its really not as bad as you think. you get used to it

Answer 3

Noo.

It does not hurt that badd.

Just remember, it takes pain to look beautiful(:

Answer 4

no does not hurt at all and ur eyebrows. ur eyes and ur face will look brighter after.

u have to try to know cause everyone is different

Answer 5

Honestly its not that bad it does hurt a little but after a few times of doing it u wont be able to feel a thing!! If you go quite long with out doing it when u do it again it might hurt a little but if u do it regular u will be fine.

As for your first time just before have a hot shower, this opens your pores and makes it alot easier! When i 1st started i ended up plucking too much and look really silly, so just make sure u dont go over the top and try and make both brows look the same.

Its not hard u get better the more u do it, its nothing to worry about its just 1 of those things thats gotta be done!

Hope this helped :) x

Answer 6

its only painful if you don't fully pluck the hair out. like you yank the hair with the plucker and only half of it comes out. oh and if you pluck the opposite way the hair is growing.

so like, pluck With the hair, not against it (like shaving lol) and don't yank too much.

Answer 7

Just go to a salon to get them waxed. It's a pain in the a-- to pluck one out at a time.

Answer 11

It doesn't hurt at all. Even if it did hurt, nice eyebrows are better than a unibrow

Answer 12

haha! people make such a big deal out of something so small. lol

It doesntt hurt at all. The first time it does and then the other times you barely feel it. If you want, put ice up to your eyebrows (where you are going to pluck) to numb it.  

Answer 13

Hi I dont find it hurts at all unless you tweeze the skin as well as the hairs and that can hurt a little but you have to be careful and never pluck from the top always the underneath. and that about it.

I know my mum says it hurts and her eye brows really swell up but I dont have this problem.  

Answer 14

its not that bad. I did it yesterday.

it just feels like a little sting. your eyes may water for a second, but I promise you its not enough pain to make you cry.

Try pinching the skin around your eyebrow lightly, and when you feel the LEAST bit of pain/sting, thats what it feels like unless you're skin is NOT sensitive, then you probably won't feel anything.

Answer 15

When you first start plucking, it probably will hurt (I couldn't take out more than five hairs at a time, it was so painful when I started). If you have quite thick hair, it can be more painful. The more you do it, the weaker and less noticeable the hair growing back will be, ad the less painful it'll become.

When you first start, just try tidying up the natural shape of your eyebrows. Don't take too much from the middle between your brows, and avoid plucking above them, unless you get the corners growing out towards your hairline. To work out the right width and length, lay a pencil vertically up the side of your nose, from the widest point. This is where the insides of your brows should come to. Then, lay the pencil diagonally from your nose to the outside corner of your eye to give you the best length for your brows.

It's not something I've ever done, but fir the first time, it might help you to go get your brows done professionally (but for a "natural" shape, not a pencil line. Go to a reputable beauty parlour).

Finally, invest in a good pair of tweezers! I use square tipped ones, but most people say angled tweezers give them the most control. You may also want a pair of finer pointed ones for the smaller hairs or to helo with shaping.  

Answer 16

Well it hurts just a teensy weensy bit but not really.

1st always pluck in the direction your hair goes.

I'd recomend dampening your eyebrows brfore you pluck becuase it doesn't hurt as much.

I can't really think of don'ts.

But um, if that doesn't help check out youtube.com

they have some good videos.

Hope I helped. :]

Answer 17

it doesnt hurt that bad :)

just dont pluck from above the eybrow, pluck below (where your natural arch is)

dont over pluck either.

hope this helps =]

Answer 18

Depends on how sensitive your skin is. If you aren't; then no it's not painful. If you are; then it's slightly annoying. I would chill your eyebrows in ice before you do it. It makes the hairs easier to pull out and less painful

Answer 19

It's not that bad at all :)

Answer 20

You could take a Tylenol about 30 mins before.  Best to have a pro

shape your brows regularly, then you can pluck the strays only.  if

you pluck too many hairs too often, they won't grow back (this is not an

urban legend, they really won't)!

Answer 21

its not so painful at all :P

pull the hairs in the way which they are growing.

& dont dig at the little hairs :L i did & it leaves a little mark xD

Answer 22

it doesnt hurt at all

Answer 23

Its not painful at all  but i regret the day i did. they grow back darker, thicker, and stuby, and you cant always get them with the tweezers. Do yourself a favor and dont start plucking

I suggest bleaching. Get a kit from your local beauty store :)

Answer 24

no it's not that painful if it done right! if it's your first time then try it in a warm bath wet your face so it opens your pores and done  just the underneath never above as that has a shape to it and will be horrid when it grow back. good luck just don't be afraid it grows back. x
