Hey there! I pluck my own eyebrows just to keep them neat and tidy and I have always plucked both bellow and above the eyebrow, but then someone told me to stop plucking above the eyebrow. I stopped doing so but now they look really messy. Help me please! What should I do?

I think it's okay to pluck above, as long as the only think you are
taking is the few lone/stray hairs that aren't actually part of the
body of the brow. What you want to avoid is taking shape from the top
of the brow, but the extra hairs that stick out should be okay to
remove. I hope I could help.

Yeah, I have to agree. I've heard of the 'no plucking above the
eyebrows' rule and, as someone who has truly annoying natural pointy
peaks I've never abided by it. Use your own discretion. Follow the
natural curve of your brow (ie don't overdo it) but I'd say it's fine
to pluck above.
