Yes. Overtweezed and had to let them grow back. Never again!
October 14th, 2013 at 11:35 AMI over “sculpted” the night before my wedding!!! NEVER a good idea–LOL
October 14th, 2013 at 12:34 PMA friend wanted to shape my eyebrows and I let her. Big mistake! She tweezed them so thin that I had to use eyebrow pencil to fill them in and shape them until they grew in.
October 14th, 2013 at 12:46 PMovertweezed in college – had to be patient and fill in with brow pencil while waiting for them to grow back in
October 14th, 2013 at 1:27 PMOmigosh yes! It was a long time ago, I was 14, and my friend’s sister plucked my brows pencil thin! My parents had a FIT! I don’t think they ever grew back the same!
October 14th, 2013 at 1:29 PMWhen I was in 7th grade, I overplucked my left eyebrow. I didn’t wear makeup at the time and my mom didn’t have any eyebrow pencils, so I actually used a pen to fill it in! haha!! It looked absolutely ridiculous! I kept overtweezing and when I was 21, I tattooed my eyebrows. I HATED it. I regretted it the same day I got them done. It’s been over 10 years and you can see the red, faded lines from the tattoos. I actually grew back my brows with generic Minoxidil, but I still have to conceal the faded lines. I do NOT recommend tattooing your brows, EVER.
October 14th, 2013 at 1:43 PMyes – tweezed unevenly. Had to go to a professional to fix — took 4 months and $$$. Won’t ever do that again!
October 14th, 2013 at 1:44 PMtvollowitz at aol dot com
Overtweezed way too thin and had to use alot of pencil till they grew ot to normal!LOL!
October 14th, 2013 at 1:46 PMI went to a shop to get my eyebrows done and the gal shaped them way to thin almost non-existent and to top it all off I had a reaction to the wax crap they used. I had to use some gel/cream i had to calm it down.
October 14th, 2013 at 2:21 PMThen stupidly I decided to try and correct them when they grew back in and ended up doing the same thing.
When I was a teenager I plucked my brows so wide apart that they STARTED in the middle of my eyes. My Mom took one look at me and taught me the art of the eyebrow pencil. I must admit that that memory still horrifies me 🙂
October 14th, 2013 at 2:44 PMI decided I could wax my own eyebrows to save a few bucks. BIG mistake!!! One of them was thinner than the other, so I rewaxed the thicker one. Of course they still weren’t even, so I plucked them to try to make them more even. By the time I was done I basically had a little thin strip for eyebrows. I used a brown eye shadow to try to make them look thinner.
October 14th, 2013 at 4:41 PM“thicker” sorry for the typo!
October 14th, 2013 at 4:41 PMWay back in 7th grade, I got a candle. When I lit the candle, I couldn’t help myself from getting close to get a whiff of the beautiful smell. Then all of a sudden things start sizzling. I was afraid to look in the mirror but when I did, my left eyebrow AND eyelashes had singed off. It was the worst, and they took forever to grow back.
October 14th, 2013 at 5:40 PMOh yes, I’ve always wanted to have light brown eyebrows color so I tried with Jolene bleaching cream. Guess what? I looked like a ghost. It looked like I had no eyebrows. I got so freaked out and couldn’t wait till my normal colors came back. Never again. lol.
October 14th, 2013 at 8:40 PMYes I ended up with one highly arched and one straight across
October 14th, 2013 at 10:01 PMYes..I overtweezed for years when I was a teenager. Still to this day, I’m paying for it lol. I have the worse uneven, sparse eyebrows that you’ve ever seen. When I was younger, all I ever wanted were very thin beautiful brows. I didn’t realize that your own unique brow shape is beautiful w/just a little grooming.
October 14th, 2013 at 10:17 PMI’ve been plucking for years between the brows – I have one that is slightly “in” more than the other. I have dark brows so I think it’s quite obvious-wish I had gone to a salon for this 🙂
October 15th, 2013 at 12:07 AMyes over shaped- what a mistake- had thick brows just need to make it 2 brows instead of a uni- they grew back in fast so let them grow
October 15th, 2013 at 12:40 AMOvertweezed on one side. Just had to wait for them to grow back in.
October 15th, 2013 at 1:07 AMNo. I have a professional do my brows
October 15th, 2013 at 5:35 AMYes… ive over plucked and waxed them right off several times! oops!
October 15th, 2013 at 10:16 AMI went to a salon and let someone wax my eyebrows. She got skin! I was bleeding and then she was trying to make them even by waxing again and then tweezing. Even tweezing she got skin. I finally told her to stop and was sore for a week with scabs and uneven, thin brows. I went back to my usual place – no more experimenting and I do my in between clean ups myself!
October 15th, 2013 at 10:21 AMI used to draw my brows in, it looked so terrible!
October 15th, 2013 at 1:41 PMi overplucked my eyebrows into oblivion in high school because i wanted to look like someone else!
October 15th, 2013 at 3:19 PMOver tweezing…..it wasn’t pretty and I was saved by long bangs…
October 15th, 2013 at 3:43 PMI have not personally had an eyebrow disaster because I learned from a friend’s sister. She tried to wax her eyebrows and pulled one of them almost completely off. She took more than half of it off. There was nothing she could do to fix it. I have never tried to wax my own eyebrows since then.
October 16th, 2013 at 8:08 PMwould you believe me, never
October 16th, 2013 at 9:17 PMWhen I was in skin school a girl was supposed to give me a high arch, she made them so thin and took too much off the middle and ends it looked horrible! It took months for them to look normal again.
October 16th, 2013 at 10:07 PMI bleached my eyebrows as blonde as my hair. I had to spend a lot of extra time each day filling them with an eyebrow pencil because I was so inexperienced, (Not too many options ‘back in the day’)
October 17th, 2013 at 7:38 AMOver plucked one eye brow right before a big presentation for work panicked thankfully my friend had an eye brow pencil she fixed it in no time. Lesson learned!
October 17th, 2013 at 11:04 AMI have made them to thin before. I use a brow brush to spread them a little a part and then use a brow pencil to fill them in to be thicker 🙂
October 17th, 2013 at 11:56 AMThe first time I tweeted my own eyebrows, I had no idea what I was doing an ended up tweezing a bald patch right in the middle of my eyebrow…no lie!! I was freaking out cuz I was in high school and for SURE would be picked on. So I waxed both eyebrows completely off and drew them on until they grew back (still got teased for that anyways). From then on and for many years, I never touched my tweezers and just went and got waxed every 2 weeks for YEARS until I was taught, yes I had to be TAUGHT, how to tweeze myself! Whew !
October 17th, 2013 at 12:02 PMI have mistakenly over plucked and had one eye brow thinner and shorter than the other and whole bald spots in between from grabbing one too many hairs at one time
October 17th, 2013 at 12:14 PMI tried to trim some fine hairs around my brows wit a razor and lobbed off some of my brow line. If tried to fix the damage with a pencil but it was an embarrassing mess!
October 17th, 2013 at 1:10 PMYes, I don’t have that many eyebrows to begin with!
October 17th, 2013 at 3:02 PMThen, I used a growth product, which helped them to grow
and they stuck out and were way out of my brow line…
Thanks, Cindi
Oh goodness yes. Why oh why did I pluck my entire eyebrows off by tweezing in the dark last year? I looked completely different without my brows! I had left barely a line. Now that I have myself under control I’d love to own a gorgeous set of tweezers like this!
October 17th, 2013 at 5:31 PMNo…I often worry about it….I have seen some doozies…
October 17th, 2013 at 7:02 PMover-tweezed a bit but luckily it wasn’t too bad and just had to learn self control
October 18th, 2013 at 12:11 PMI used to use an eyebrow shaver instead of plucking or waxing.
October 18th, 2013 at 6:39 PMAs time went on my eyebrows became thinner and thinner until they were practically nothing!
At one point I had to use an eyebrow pencil to fill in spots I accidentally shaved.
Definitely the worst beauty disaster of my life!
Finally a year into ruining my once full and nicely shaped eyebrows
I tossed out the brow shavers and started plucking instead, hoping my
eyebrows would grow back. It took a couple of years but because I now tweeze
instead of shave them, I’m happy to say I have real eyebrows again.
After I graduated high school I gained interest in doing my own eyebrow grooming so I bought some wax because my friend made it seem too easy to wax my own eyebrows. Well that was a huge mistake! I ended up waxing off a huge chunk of my right eyebrow and on my left one I had gone over it so many times that I peeled of some skin. So I looked like I got punched in one eye and the other eyebrow was half missing, so yea that summer I learned how to draw the eyebrow and color it in and I also learned what concealer was haha never again!
October 19th, 2013 at 8:22 AMI’ve never had an eyebrow disaster thankfully!
October 19th, 2013 at 5:02 PMMore than a year ago I had my eyebrows waxed. The technician removed too much off the end and to this day it’s never grown back.
October 20th, 2013 at 2:05 PMMy eyebrow disaster is probably that I have SUUPPPEEERRR sparse eyebrows. My eyebrows don’t show up in pictures it is the worst! and I’m a brunette! So I decided to get them waxed because my best friend was going to. We both got them waxed and hers looked amazing but mine basically disappeared. it was soo bad! D; But luckily i went shopping and bought some things to fill my eyebrows in. Now I am always in search for new things to fill my eyebrows in. I hardly ever even leave my room without filling my eyebrows in. I feel basically naked without my eyebrows filled in!
October 20th, 2013 at 3:17 PMMy story is for my 16yr old daughter Brooklyn, she has her daddy’s Unibrow(poor girl) thank god she has light hair so it’s only noticeable to her. Problem is, every brow job is a disaster, over & under plucking. Every beauty shop has been a terrible experience, BAD pluck/wax jobs, her leaving crying. I believe the tweezerman would make a huge difference for her just for sheer confidence. She is beautiful with the biggest blue eyes ever, so the brow is just a problem for her, this seems to be a perfect fix for her.
October 21st, 2013 at 8:53 PMHaven’t really had an eyebrow disaster, but one night when my sister and I were up (way too late) I used an eyeliner pencil to fill in her eyebrows. Well, the next morning when we woke I looked at her and could not stop laughing. (One of those laughing attacks where you are bent over and tears are pouring down your face). Needless to say my sister was asking what I was laughing at. All I could do was point at the mirror. Finally she turned around to see what appeared to be Groucho Marx looking back at her. At first glance she was not amused. A few minutes later she too was bent over laughing uncontrollably. It took a lot of cold cream and a lot of scrubbing to erase the eyebrow disaster that I caused my sister.
October 22nd, 2013 at 9:20 PMI desperately need the extra help, not only can I not help others, but I’m a Eyebrow Disaster just waiting. I swear, every single time I have plucked my own, I over due it and end up with just about none, thus use a pencil to help. I have waxed as well, did I learn after taking out one whole brow, NOPE, they say practice makes perfect, well not in my case. Not to mention the bee wax burnt me each time. It hurts so bad that I have given up and will let them grow like grandpa Munster. lol, but will give it another shot if I win, and I’m sure as determined as I’ve been that I will be a success.
October 23rd, 2013 at 2:47 PMOnly once when I used to tweeze my eyebrows. I overtweezed and there was a space in between. Lesson learned 🙂
