  There are many different ways to remove stray eyebrow hair.  Some women use wax, but this is tricky because it’s difficult to achieve an accurate shape.  The most common method is using tweezers.  If you want to get rid of your stray eyebrow hairs and achieve the perfect eyebrow, follow these tips.

  Start from the inner corner of your eye, right above the tear duct and end at the outside corner above the eyelashes.  Ideally, eyebrows should have an arch but naturally, the arch is rarely where it should be. The arch should be over the iris, which is the colored part of your eye.  It should also be gentle to soften your features, so do the plucking very slowly, one hair at a time.  If you pluck it too hastily you might end up with a “surprised” look that will last for weeks until the hair grows back.

  Caffeine, for some situations, taken in moderation has been proven to be an effective perk-up drink.  If you can’t sleep and are not particularly anxious, think of how much caffeinated drinks you’ve been having, including cola, tea and coffee.  Drinking less caffeine should fix the problem.

  Sugar. Having a midnight snack that’s heavy in sugar will cause you to toss and turn because your blood sugar levels will be at an all-time high.  If you can’t sleep without a snack, replace your sweets with a sugar-free pastry.  But don’t eat a meal as this will also raise your blood sugar.

  Too much exercise.  According to some research, people who exercise late at night have difficulty sleeping.  Try to schedule your workouts in the morning, late afternoon, or early evening.
