Plucking Nightmare
I have a job interview this afternoon, for a job I’d really like as a MUA. Therefore I need to make sure I don’t look like a Yeti and tackle my unruly brows.
I purchased Manicare’s Flat Tweezers from my local chemist yesterday for £3. Think of this as a beauty service announcement, if you actually want to “tweeze” hairs out avoid these. 10 minutes after starting, I had managed to pinch numerous bits of skin, but only remove several stray hairs. They are totally rubbish IMO. I’m not sure whether its the wide flat heads, or the powder coating, but these have no grip on hair whatsoever. Skin, they love….. *massages cream into brow bone* ouch

I haven’t, the bargainista in me has always thought, ooooooh little bit expensive, but I guess its one of those items where I really can’t afford to scrimp if I want something half good!

Well one would happily pay more for a designer eyeshadow that might not get that much use out of but think of the amount of use you get in a pair of tweezers. I think its worth it. But now think I just want my brows threaded for the rest of my life!!!!

Wise words indeed re tweezers!
As for threading check out You Tube for tutorials on how to do it yourself. Its not as hard as you might think
