Another option is to pluck your unibrow directly after getting out of the shower. The warm water and steam of the shower will have opened up your pores a great deal.
To figure out where your eyebrow should begin, hold a pair of tweezers vertically so that the tweezers are touching the widest part of your nose (nostril) at one end and the other end is going straight towards your eyebrow. The place where the tweezer touches your eyebrow is where your eyebrow should begin. To find where your arch should be, rest the tweezer horizontally against the bridge of your nose, and then tilt the tweezer at a 45-degree angle. The place where the tweezer points to is where your arch should be. To find the end point of your eyebrows, hold a pair of tweezers at a 45-degree angle from where your top and bottom waterlines meet at the inner part of your eyes.
Try to create an arch in your brow. For more information on plucking your eyebrows, see Pluck Your Eyebrows
If your eyebrow area is red or puffy after plucking, run an ice cube over the area. This will reduce both the redness and the swelling. You can also use a washcloth dipped in cold water or carefully apply a small dab of hydrocortisone cream. [2] X Research source
There is also the option of purchasing wax-covered strips. These are best for newcomers to the waxing world. Simply press a pre-waxed strip against the area that you wish to remove hair from. Pat the strip down, hold the skin around it down with your fingers, and swiftly pull the strip off. Wax is notoriously painful, even though it’s so effective. If you have sensitive skin, consider applying a little topical numbing cream to the area you intend to wax prior to embarking on the process. [3] X Research source
Take a thin brush or pencil and hold it vertically against the widest part of your nose. The point at which the brush meets your eyebrow is where your eyebrow should begin from the center. Repeat on both sides to determine how much hair to remove. [4] X Research source
Again, asking a friend to help is a much easier way to wax your unibrow.
Check your face in the mirror after removing the strip. It’s possible that some hairs may get left behind; you can pluck those individually with tweezers.
A small dab of hydrocortisone cream also works to reduce pain and irritation. [5] X Research source
To measure where you should begin, use an eyebrow pencil or thin brush to find the point of your eyebrow that vertically matches the widest part of your nostril at either side of your nose. The space in between these two points will be where the hair needing to be removed lies. [6] X Research source
You can also mark the portion of your eyebrows that you wish to shave with a brow pencil. Doing this will help you place the shaving cream only on the portion of your eyebrows that you want to get rid of. Hold the brow pencil vertically on either side of the bottom of your nose. The point where the pencil meets your eyebrow is the center point of your brow; everything between the left and right points should be removed. [7] X Research source
You can also use tweezers to pluck away any stray hairs.
The honey and sugar should create a very effective “wax” for your eyebrows. This option will still be as painful as a conventional waxing kit, but it’s useful if you don’t have the waxing kit at home and don’t wish to buy one.
Do not microwave the mixture too long, however. If you make it too hot, it can turn hard and unusable. Using the mixture before it turns brown and bubbly can cause it to stay too thin, though, which will prevent it from working correctly.
Hold a brush up against the side of either nostril and identify the point of your brow vertically equal to this placement. That point is where your eyebrow should begin in the center of your face.
Flannel, cotton, and similar materials should all work. Just make sure the fabric is clean before use.
If there are additional hairs left behind, you might want to consider tweezing them instead of repeating the wax procedure to minimize irritation.
