Long wiry eyebrows
With your fingers brush the hairs downwards and any that look too long or too wiry pull out with a firm tug. Your pulling technique is important as they come out much easier if you follow the direction of growth. Pluck hairs towards your ears except in between the eyebrows where the top ones should be plucked upwards and the bottom downwards. Yes it does hurt a bit, but you get used to it!

Very thick and wide eyebrows
Starting to look like Bert from Sesame Street? Then it’s time to sort out those overly-thick eyebrows, To do this, carefully pluck some hairs out under the arch of the brow but don't overdo it. You aren't aiming for an arch just a naturally tidy look. If any grow too far down your temples pull those out too. If they grow down too low they can make your eyes appear droopy and sad! This is also a good technique for opening up the face and giving it a more youthful look. Think of it as a brow-lift without the general anaesthetic!

Mono-brow
If your eyebrows meet in the middle they can give a dark, sinister appearance (think Liam Gallagher). Aim for a finger's width gap between them and pluck out the hairs that are in the way.

Afterwards put some antiseptic cream onto the area as it may be a little red and tender. Regular maintenance will help to keep you looking well groomed. If you’re worried about the finished result try tackling them over a few weeks so that the effect is subtle and not such a shock to the system – or your work colleagues.
