Posts with tag tweeze

I've always plucked my own eyebrows, but a few months back, I realized they were looking a little sparse. (Okay, I had accidentally tweezed them into oblivion.) So when I was given a gift certificate to the Warren|Tricomi salon in my Los Angeles neighberhood, I decided to make an appointment for an eyebrow shaping and tinting with Kristie Streicher and see if she could help.

Kristie--who herself looks like she belongs walking the red carpet--has worked with celebrities from Julia Roberts to Molly Sims in her ten years as an eyebrow specialist. Still, I was surprised by just how polished I looked after she tinted, tweezed and trimmed my brows. Now, I'm happy to say my eyebrows are no longer in critical condition. In fact, they're pretty much perfect.

We gave you the step-by-step on the perfect pluck a while back, and now Kristie has been kind enough to exclusively share her list of expert eyebrow-grooming dos and don'ts with the Stylelist crowd.

Sure the eyebrow shape your mama gave you is just the right one for your face. That doesn't mean there isn't a little clean up involved to keep them looking right.

It's a sad fact that some people go so insane with plucking that they have to paint their eyebrows on (why, why, why!?) while others are so unkempt that their uni-brow can be seen from space.

Every girl needs a good pair of tweezers. I know a few boys who could use some, too. And, if you're in the market for a new pair of tweezers (or your first pair because your unibrow is earning you the nickname "Sesame Street Bert"), why not get some that will help more than just your appearance?

The Tweezerman Go Green Mini Slant Tweezers are the perfect choice. They're small and the perfect size for travel (or to hide if you don't want everyone to know you're a plucker). Plus, for every pair purchased one dollar is donated to the National Arbor Foundation and a tree is planted.

Knowing you're doing something good for the environment might even take some of the sting out of the tweezing process -- who knows?
