#2 Most people tend to tweeze 2 to 3 hair strands at a stretch in order to get the job done quickly. But this might lead to unclean eyebrows and might land you in a parlour for rework. Never pull more than one hair at once.
#3 Never ever pick a universal shade to fill your eyebrows. Always pick a shade that is slightly lighter than your hair colour as it might look darker after application.
#4 One mistake that most people make while tweezing is to use a mini make-up mirror or do it in an area with no proper light. By doing so, you are limiting yourself and aren't able to see the proper shape of the brow and filling it the right way. To avoid this, make sure you groom your eyebrows in proper light and use the normal mirror.
