How I wax my eyebrows !

Re: How I wax my eyebrows !

I thread myself and I don't think its all that painful. Maybe I'm used to it. I don't like using wax - such a mess with having to remove wax residue afterwards.

Re: How I wax my eyebrows !

^ Yes I've heard its less painful if you do it yourself, but I'm rubbish at it! :(

Re: How I wax my eyebrows !

That looks neat. I would never have the guts to do it myself.

Re: How I wax my eyebrows !

Wow, get picture tutorial Sidra! I tweeze my eyebrows but have been thinking of trying to wax them myself. Which wax strips do you use?

Re: How I wax my eyebrows !

ouch. but if works for you, mainu ki.

Re: How I wax my eyebrows !

I thread my sister's eyebrows, she's okay with it. But I could cry buckets when I thread or get them thread.
I'm much more comfortable with waxing :D

Marwah : I tried Veet but it didn't work. Now I use Blondepil
Rolla : LOL !
The1nonlyMe : Uhm I haven't felt that yet
Canadadesigirl : I just use olive oil, it takes 15 sec and no more wax residues.

Re: How I wax my eyebrows !

Has anyone waxed after applying numbing cream? Am wondering if that would make it totally painless..

Re: How I wax my eyebrows !

I would hope so but it depends on the skill of the aestheticians.

In the long term, it will definitely contribute to wrinkling and sagging of the eye area. If you're having it done at a salon, hot film wax will pull the skin the least.

Re: How I wax my eyebrows !

Not sure if you can use emla or similar on the eye area. If you can, it should make it painless.

Have to say though, waxing never caused me even slight pain.

Re: How I wax my eyebrows !

I don't feel comfortable with the idea of waxing my eyebrows. Waxing (what I've heard/read) removes a layer of your skin....making it more sensitive to the sun's rays. Considering that a good chunk of the wrinkles are due to the sun.....for those suggesting that waxing may lead to wrinkling....this could be one of the reasons besides pulling/tugging of the skin.

Re: How I wax my eyebrows !

Could tweezing also lead to sagging/loosening of the skin in that area?

Re: How I wax my eyebrows !

I don't think so. You're not really manipulating the eye are too much with tweezing.

Re: How I wax my eyebrows !

You guys forgot to mention how waxing the eyebrows could make you break out around that area :frowning: I have oily skin, don’t know if that’s the reason. Waxed them for the first (and the last!) time last week and I’ve broken out all around my eyebrows (not the forehead). I have a pimple bindi in between my eyebrows! :teary2:

So girls with oily/sensitive skin, beware!

PS: It did not hurt at all!

Re: How I wax my eyebrows !

BBQ, sad to hear that, I also have oily skin and waxing doesn't cause that to me, but threading does =/
Everyone's skin reacts diefferently.

Re: How I wax my eyebrows !
