Can you wear makeup to eyebrow wax?

Published in Eyebrow Waxing 1 min read

It's generally recommended to avoid wearing makeup when going for an eyebrow waxing appointment.

Here's why:

  • Clear Visibility: Your esthetician needs a clear, unobstructed view of your natural brow hairs to determine which hairs need to be removed for the best shape and definition. Makeup, especially brow products, can obscure the natural hairline.

  • Hygiene: Waxing is most effective on clean skin. Makeup and other products can prevent the wax from properly adhering to the hair, leading to less effective hair removal and potentially more irritation.

  • Prevent Irritation: The waxing process can sometimes cause mild skin irritation. Applying makeup immediately afterward can exacerbate this, potentially leading to breakouts or allergic reactions.

  • Product Interference: Certain makeup ingredients might interact negatively with the wax or post-waxing treatments.

In summary, arriving at your appointment with clean, makeup-free eyebrows ensures a more effective, hygienic, and comfortable waxing experience.
