Hi. My name's Mari, and I was once an over-tweezer. Luckily, I felt the repercussions of tweezing abuse during its early stages and have since weaned myself from the painful life of obsessive plucking. (I swear!) But my brows continue to pay. Specifically, the inner end of my right brow. It's partially bare! In my tweeze-happy state, I disregarded my knowledge of the optimal brow shape in favor of pulling. Unfortunately, many of those brow hairs never grew back. Thankfully there is still hope! Anastasia—the world's most lauded brow guru—has sent me her savior of a set, Tweezers Anonymous. I'm putting it to the test to see if I can replenish my arches.
Do you have a tweezing problem? If so, you could join me in brow rehab. Leave a comment telling me why you need full furrow rehabilitation. I'll check in three plucking addicts and send them their own Tweezers Anonymous Brow Kit. (Make sure to leave an email so that I can contact you.) They'll be responsible for following the set's 12-step program and updating me on your progress. Remember, the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem! Put the tweezers down and leave a comment!

Not only do I have a tweezing problem, I don't know how to shape my eyebrows well!
brow problems -- mmm let me count the ways. I went from never tweezing ( scary hairy brow girl) to tweezing but I still don't think they have a good shape. I have gotten them waxed and supposed professionally shaped but they still don't seem to be living up to their full potential. Help me.. torias_22@hotmail.com
Hi, My name is Cinthia, and I'm a tweeze-a-holic. I was born with beautiful, full eyebrows, with a little unibrow (hated it) but now i crave to go back to those days....my eyebrows are so thin and everytime i look at magazines/sephora models, i crave those full, beautiful eyebrows that they have. I pluck and pluck but never seem to find the shape that is right for me. I need Anastasia to lead me to the eyebrow heavens and teach me to shape my eyebrows in the best way to flatter my face. Please help me reach eyebrow nirvana by gifting me with this kit! i will forever be grateful! knick5282001@yahoo.com

I don't if it's a tweezing problem so much as it is a symmetry problem. My right brow looks cute as far as I can tell, with a nice arch and the left one always looks a little bit...off. I could use help!

I fell prey to the magnifying mirror. At 10x magnification I thought I could make my brows perfect. Naturally full, I just wanted to fix the arch. My left brow, outer edge… it was always just a little off. Just a little. So I took tweezers to it, florescent light highlighting every
hair in the 10x reflection mirror. Pluck. Pluck. Pluckpluckpluckpluckpluck… I stopped, flipped the mirror over to get the view of my newly perfected brow and then I saw… I had completely over plucked my arch! Now I have two mismatching brows. I don’t want to pluck the other to match because it’s too skinny for my taste. I could use this SO bad! The Brow Enhancing Serum could help me grow in the bald spot and, in the meantime, use the Duo Brow Wand to make my eyebrows symmetrical.
Please consider enrolling me in brow rehab! Just.7.kelly@gmail.com
I'm twenty years old and I've never had a properly shaped brow. The only hairs I tweeze are the pesky ones that sometimes come in in between my brows. I don't know the first thing about how to shape my brows properly, and I would love something that could help my brows look less like unruly caterpillars.

My Best Friend and I both have tweezing problems! She constantly picks at hers and has little nicks. I think she does it to wind down at night! As for me I have health problems and my hairs grow weird and fast. I constantly have to pluck. In places there is no hair where I haven't even plucked, soo thin! I need some major help, to not feel so insecure. If I won I would share the kit with my Best Friend!

I am not only tweezer happy but I admit to purchasing the electronic handheld mini shaver with eyebrow attachment so I could nick every little unwanted browhair in sight. I should have sticked to the tweezer because at least I could target the individual hairs but no the idea of tweezing my hair so quickly fed my addiction and there I was about 20 seconds later with half my eyebrow cut off. Bare in mind that this was all in high school. So for the next couple of weeks since there was no hair there I drew on the little sucker. Well since I was lacking on one side of my brown of course I had to even out the other side so I tweezed away until the whole thing was even in width. I ended up with an eyebrow as thin as a thick piece of thread. Although I am now a freshman in college my brows are my worst facial feature. To top it all off my eyes are huge and have big eyelids like if I applied eyeshadow you could definitely see it and where I applied it. I have never seen celebrities or models with the shape of eyes like mine so I left my eyebrow shape up to my imagination. I have no clue how to shape my brows or stop myself from tweezing the life out of them because I convince myself that the next little pluck will produce the perfectly shaped eyebrow. Yes..I think its time to get help

Being asian, i have really sparse eyebrows. So i dont even tweeze that much. I want the full eyebrow look!
I really think I need to go into tweezer rehab..I don't even realize when I tweeze anymore..I just go at it like a madman with a chainsaw. As a result, my brows are a total mess, and I even went to the local salon to try to get them fixed. The stylist wouldn't even touch them! She said they were beyond repair. I have a little line of eyebrow above each eye. Please pick me so I can stop looking like Mona Lisa!
Hey, my name is Raisy and my brows do need a make-over. My natural brows are really hairy and bushy. But I plucked too much and they went too thin to go with my big face. After a long fight with myself, I stopped plucking and now I am back to my bushy shapeless brows. I have no idea about what to do with them. I look so bad and definitely would like that brow kit! Thanks

I have brow issues for sure. I used to wax at a very reputable place - had great arches, the works and then I got flat warts on my eyelid. Needless to say, an infection that ate a hole through my eyelid, a lovely scar and a tube of Retin-A micro later, plus a few years. I only let MYSELF near my brows and I am a little neurotic about the tweezing. I need help. I need some shape, some control, some definition. I tweeze too much. HELP ME!!! I will do anything - aside from waxing learned a huge lesson there. sl_mullins@hotmail.com
Please help my sister. Not only did she make her brows thinner, she made them SHORTER! She was plucking from the outside working towards the middle and only had a little over an inch left!!

Okay so I didn't realize there was an actual obsession with this. I promise I could sit and tweeze every hair in m eyebrow because I just cant stop. Now, it has been brought to my attention several times within the past two weeks that I have some vanilla ice eyebrow when he came out with Ice ice baby, back in the day. Well, I checked and I sure do I am missing the biggest gap connecting my eyebrow together. My boyfriend brings it to my attention all the time and there is nothing I can do to fix because my eyebrows are so thin anyway. So, I try not to let it upset me but deep down I get very upset and embarassed, so I had to make a joke of myself the other day becasue I seen the gap and so is everyone else. I get tired of being asked about it, to be honest I am not sure how I did unless it was one long hair and I didn't realilze and just plucked it right out. please help me I can be reached at amberleighmann@comcast.net. thank you

I tweeze every night for hours and hours. I use a pointed surgical tweezer to get the ingrown hairs out useing a 20 magnification mirror. But when I can't get them, I dig until they bleed alot. Then I never let them heal because I pick at the scab. There a mess! All red and cut up. I have bangs to try to hide them but I feel like people see it anyway. Need help!!

I am 55 and have hated my eyebrows since the day I was born. Between having a unibrow they curve around all the way to my lower eyelid. any help, please
