It takes time to have pretty eyebrows. Some people take the quick route and wax them but a few years down the line they're going to have sagging eyelids/browline. Tweeezing is what takes time because one must pluck almost each hair individually. Most of the time I miss the blond hairs that only manifest
themselves when I'm standning in the sunlight. I don't like missing those.
The Browpilator will catch and remove every hair when it passes over one's desired hair removal area in one sweep. This is a little battery operated machine that has rotating tweezers (like the Silk-epil by Braun but with only the width of one tweezer instead of 5 or 6) with a 4 inch handle designed ergonomically for a comfortable grip. It has 3 speeds, lo, med, and hi. Comes with a small carrying case with room for extra batteries, a mirror, and a cleaning brush (for the machine). Uses AAA batteries.
Recommended to be used with a topical anisthetic such as LMX if pain threshold is slight.

Who'd go hi, c'mon, who'd go hi, c'mon then, who'd go hi? |

...or just shave your forehead. |

I think the desirability of "pretty eyebrows" is exclusively a construct of the fashion industry. So long as you're not sporting an Oasis-style monobrow, I can't see anyone giving a damn. Hell, cultivate a monobrow, you'll stand out from the crowd! |
|
| |
I think there's something to be said for sculpted eyebrows. I keep mine tidy! Now, I don't go pencilling them in, but every now and then there is a stray hair or two that must be dealt with . . . |
|
| |
. . . dealt with firmly, and with conviction. I will hunt the straybrow hairs ang bring them to justice, where ever they may be. I also vow to bring-to-task any foreheads that harbor known straybrow hairs. |
|
| |
Shave the brows and head except for two horizontal patches at the front hairline and cover the forehead areas under them down to the lashes with bright blue eye shadow. |
|
| |
Hmmm, should have thought a little more before posting something like this in a male dominated forum. Dang! ***kicks computer*** |

"So long as you're not sporting an Oasis-style monobrow..." |
|
| |
Whew! I'm safe as I haven't a cluster of date palms jutting from my forehead. |
|
| |
Anybody remember the "Epilady" ? Ouch..... |
|
| |
I tried using an Epilady one time and thought it was going to rip my skin off along with the hair. I don't need any scabs on my face. No thanks. |
|
| |
I've never gotten so many fishbones before (in my entire career at the 'bakery [4 months/4 ideas])...so THIS is how it feels! Hmmm. Amazingly I feel nothing, as I've slathered LMX anisthetic all over myself. |
|

Two words for you, [Machiavelli]: laser depilation! Doesn't hurt, lasts a long, long time...or so I heard. |
|
| |
I've never done it myself, but the thought of ending the morning shaves makes it more interesting everyday. |
|
| |
Actually, [Paulo], I've heard laser-depilation hurts like hell. I had a friend who was unfortunate to have facial hair where a woman shouldn't have any and she used to go for laser treatment once a month. She'd come home in pain and sit for the rest of the day with an ice-pack on her face. No thanks. Another PAINFUL alternative to tweezing or waxing is threading. I tried it once and it hurt so badly that tears literally squirt out of my eyes. Tweezing and epilady aren't so bad. |

In case anyone's interested in knowing what threading is, see link. |

What??? Laser-depilation hurts?!?! Next thing, you're saying is that Santa doesn't exist. |

//Santa doesn't exist// Only a crazy person would say that, [Paulo]!!! |
