How to reduce pain while plucking your eyebrows?

I find that it doesnt hurt as much if you pluck them right after you get out of the shower. yeah, like the comment above me, wet your eye brows with water or you could even put lotion over your eye brows, then pluck them. itll make it less painful because the hair will be softer. Holding an ice cube on the area for a few minutes will numb it. But I say just be quick about it and get it over with. (Then again, I have pretty sparse eyebrows.) They sell a "numbing gel" at Sally Beauty Supply stores. Put a little of that on your brows, wait till it kicks in and tweeze your brows. I quit tweezing mine; now I get them waxed. It's over with so quickly you don't need to worry about numbing them.
