its best to tweeze your eyebrows when you just get out of the shower or if you pat your face with a hot towel because that opens up your pores and the hair will come out easier.
Although it still may hurt a little and will probably be red, you use an ice cube it can calm the swelling and make the redness go away.
when it comes to the amount of hair you need to pluck off use a pen/pencil. to find where it starts line it up straight against your nose with the inner corner of your eye. to find where it ends angle it from your nose to your outermost lashes. to find where it shoudl arch angle it from your nose across your pupil. you can mark all of the hairs with white eyeliner to remember where they are.
good luck & i hope i helped!
i actually got this information for the new seventeen magazine if you were wondering! :]

You should try not to tweeze too much- it can make your eyebrows look excessively thin. Try to only clean up around your eyebrows..just underneath and above the arch, but not too much, and if needed, in between your eyebrows.
Before you begin tweezing, put on some rubbing alcohol (it's sold at any drugstore, in the first-aid section). You might already have some at home..you could ask your mom, she'd know. If not, you can have her pick some up for you, it's very inexpensive and versatile. You could even get it yourself, it's just a disinfectant sold at all drugstores and supermarkets.
Anyway, the rubbing alcohol disinfects the area and moistens the hair, making it a bit less painful to remove (though tweezing is going to be painful regardless). When you are done tweezing, put some rubbing alcohol on the area (using a cotton ball) to help disinfect and prevent redness. You should also dip the tweezers in rubbing alcohol, or wipe it with a cotton ball soaked in it. It is hygienic to clean the tweezers- if you don't, you could introduce new bacteria into the area being tweezed, which could potentially lead to more irritation.
Here's a bit of advice: if you don't want to pay for expensive eyebrow waxing, ask if the salon has " eyebrow threading," where they use folded thread (yes, like sewing thread) to pull out your hair. I sometimes get that done, and most places offer that for around $20. If not, try and ask if there's a salon around you that might have it..or even search online, it's well worth it. In the meantime, whenever you need to clean up your eyebrows, remember not to overdo it, and only tweeze the edges.

You could go get another wax just one more time then when your eyebrow hairs start to grow in you can just tweeze from were your wax was, thats what I did. I hope that makes sense and it is best to tweeze your eyebrows when you get out of a hot, not cold, but how shower because your skin is more moist and soft which makes it easier to pluck the hairs.
:) you make me giggle (in a good sense) but rubbing alcohol not real alcohol. Thats a cute mistake though! Nothing can happen if you don't clean the tweezers just by cleaning them it keeps them from getting dull and dirty. I hope I helped.
Tweeze away girlie,
