With salons reopening today you may be lucky enough to have bagged an appointment with a brow technician. If not, or you’re still shielding, we have help for you! We share some products you might want to try and owner & CEO of Rubis, Fides Baldesberger reveals expert tips to help you go from brow-bye to wow-brow at home. Keep an unused toothbrush handy.
Handcrafted in Switzerland and made from high-quality stainless surgical steel, Rubis Tweezers are a favourite amongst celebrity MUAs and A-listers including brow queen Rosie Huntington-Whitely.
Perfect for achieving immaculate eyebrows, these are ergonomically shaped and perfectly sprung to ensure a firm hold (without breakage) eradicating rogue growth at the roots to keep you looking groomed for longer.
Fides shares her top five tips:
- Start by brushing your brows so the hairs go upwards so you can see where to pluck, and make sure you are in a well-lit room. Top tip: toothbrushes work well with their fine, sharp bristles.
- The way to gorgeous brows is investing in top range tweezers. Choose a pair of fine tipped, slanted edge tweezers so you can precisely pluck even the smallest hairs. You want a pair of tweezers that are sharp to grab onto each individual hair and won’t slide off mid pluck.
- Less is more! Avoid over-plucking, more often you end up plucking more than you need to. Take a step back and pause between each tweeze of hair to keep your perspective fresh.
- Whilst brows are not identical, it’s important to check and compare one from the other to ensure they have the same thickness.
- To take your brow game to the next level, use a pencil to outline the shape you’re going for above and below the brow as well as start to finish. This will give you a clear guideline of where you can and can’t pluck!
Rubis Classic Slant tweezers (£22.50) are available from cultbeauty.
