    hi

    i know this maybe a beginner question do i could do with help about my eyebrows

    the thing is, i am on tablets for acne and a side effect of them is that you can not pluck or wax or anything like that or it will scare for life but my eyebrows are driving me crazy and i have never been good at anything to do with my eyebrows and i was hoping that there maybe a way to make them look better or more shaped without plucking ???

    please help

    p.s. i need all the help you can give with eyebrow shape as well

    thanks jess xx

    Shape/size etc: Also google this for video demo)

    Begin: Line from base of nose up thru inner corner

    High point: outer edge of iris

    End point: base of nose thru outer corner

     

    for shaping: scissors (very tiny and sharp) and an eyebrow razor or a ‘micro-touch trimmer’

     

    Set the line and shape/size you want with a brow pencil or a black eyeliner – then trim and cut to achieve.— GO SLOW!!!

    Hi, Jessica!

    I’ve been on nearly every acne medication known to man, and I’ve never heard of not being able to pluck your eyebrows??  You definitely shouldn’t wax them, but my dermatologist never had any issues with plucking.  A great alternative to waxing is threading.  It is an amazing way to remove any type of facial hair without the irritation of hot wax.  I was on Accutane for 5 years and had my eyebrows threaded the entire time. You should double check with your demeratologist before doing anything, but I just thought I’d share my experience with you.  Also, whatever method you choose, make sure to tell the esthetician you’re on acne medication before anything.

    Good luck!  I hope you have better luck with your acne regimen than I did!  I’m still struggling…

    - Mandy

    Can you use a little brow razor on them? (If you can, Ardell sells them in packs of three.)
