Eyebrows are said to frame your face, and come to think about it, they do highlight your most important facial features. However, eyebrows don’t always naturally grow in the exact shape and form you wish them to be. Plucking out eyebrows is a regular activity for many women and some men, but it’s painful, time-consuming, and doesn’t always provide the results you want. Fortunately, you can always count on an eyebrow trimmer to save the day and make your eyebrows look fabulous.

General Eyebrow Trimmer Information

Eyebrow Trimmer Uses

Even if you don’t pay much attention to styling your eyebrows, you could probably still use an eyebrow trimmer machine to instantly make them look much better. And if your eyebrows happen to be naturally thick, bushy, and unruly, you really need one to finally get rid of that unibrow once and for all!

Of course, you can also try trimming your eyebrows with things you most likely already have at home, like your manicure scissors and a very fine brush. However, doing that requires a certain degree of skill and may result in injury if performed without due care. Thus, you may want to invest into a dedicated device for your own safety and good looks, especially considering that you don’t need an expensive professional eyebrow trimmer to achieve great results at home.

How Does an Eyebrow Trimmer Work?

Most electric eyebrow trimmers have special mechanisms that allow for efficient, yet safe trimming. All you have to do is turn the trimmer on and apply it to the eyebrow area you wish to trim. Of course, you still have to be reasonably careful and precise to avoid trimming too much or in the wrong area. The good news is that you can use an eyebrow trimmer brush that comes with the device to help achieve the desired shape.

What Types of Eyebrow Trimmers Exist?

If you forget about facial hair scissors and mini brushes for a moment, all your eyebrow trimming options come down to electric eyebrow trimmers. There are very few mechanical models currently on the market, so we are not going to focus on them in this review. The electrical models can be divided into two main categories: male and female eyebrow trimmers. In addition, there are different price segments of eyebrow trimmers with different functionality. If you’re prepared to pay a little more, you can get an ear, nose, and eyebrow trimmer all in one and never worry about excess facial hair again.

Sephora Precision Unisex Eyebrow Trimmer

Pros

• durable and reliable
• sleek modern design
• portable

Cons

• only one trimmer attachment
• slightly bulky

Overview

You may not be aware of it, but Sephora actually sells a series of beauty devices under its own brand. This eyebrow trimmer from Sephora looks and feels like a premium product, so you know that your decision to pay slightly more than the market average for a hair trimmer wasn’t for nothing.

The trimmer comes with two different combs and a special cleaning brush. It runs on AAA batteries, so you can use it anywhere without being dependent on power outlets. The Sephora eyebrow trimmer has an ultrathin blade with hypoallergenic coating, so you can safely use it even if you have sensitive skin.

The minimalist, stylish design and lack of specialized trimming accessories make this device equally suitable for men and women. It does a remarkably good job trimming not only eyebrows, but also nose hair, ear hair, and even beards, and yet we wish that this eyebrow trimmer device from Sephora would have multiple attachments to allow for more precision and accuracy.

Eyebrow Trimmer Tips and Hacks

Tip #1

Always make sure that your trimmer has enough power to provide smooth, even motions of the blades. This means replacing the batteries on a regular basis or recharging the lithium-ion battery once you’ve used up about one half of the battery juice, depending on what type of trimmer you have. This will allow the device to perform at its full capacity and you will get the best results.

Tip #2

Get a trimmer with at least two different combs and don’t forget to use the additional attachments! As it so often happens, we just store the accessories in the product’s box and only use one of them all the time. Of course, the all-purpose trimming head is still going to do the job, but you need to use dedicated attachments to achieve maximum precision and convenience, so don’t be lazy and use the accessories smartly.

Tip #3

Using an electric eyebrow trimmer is not as difficult as it may seem, but you may still want to follow these steps to achieve the best look:

• use small combs to brush your eyebrows before you get to trimming
• use the all-purpose trimming head to remove the bulk of excess hair
• switch to a dedicated eyebrow trimming or detail head to shape the eyebrows
• clean up the area with a pair of tweezers if there still are some loose hairs around your eyebrows

Doing this will probably take slightly more time than just attacking your eyebrows with the default trimming attachment on your device, but believe us, the results are well worth the effort!

FAQ

How to use an eyebrow trimmer?

First, choose the trimming head you’d like to use. Attach it to the base of your trimmer and gently apply it to the areas of your eyebrows you wish to trim. Be careful to move the device at the right angles, otherwise you might end up trimming too much or even causing a minor injury.

How to trim eyebrows with an eyebrow trimmer?

Make sure you have a good idea of how you want your eyebrows to look after you’re done trimming. Choose the area which has the most hair to trim or remove, and start working on it. Don’t try to trim the whole eyebrow at once; work in sections and check to see that you are getting the results you want.

How to clean an eyebrow trimmer?

Even if you only use your eyebrow trimmer machine on dry skin, it is still going to need some cleaning after each use. Most manufacturers design their devices in such a way that you can simply rinse the trimming heads and combs under the faucet.

How to open electric eyebrow trimmer?

Opening your eyebrow trimmer to replace the batteries for the first time may be challenging. We can’t give you foolproof advice here because different devices from different manufacturers are going to rely on different opening mechanisms, but here are some general tips and ideas to try out:

• look for indications on the trimmer’s body
• check for buttons, small hinges, and other things indicating a hidden compartment
• smaller models may have a rotating opening mechanism that allows you to open the trimmer body from the bottom

To be on the safe side, check with your device’s manual and don’t try to use tools like knives or screwdrivers to open the trimmer.

How to reassemble an eyebrow trimmer?

For most models, reassembling the device is easy once you’ve figured out how to open it. If you’re having trouble reassembling your trimmer, try to find a video guide on how to do that for your exact model. Otherwise, contact the manufacturer’s customer support for professional help.

How to replace blades on eyebrow trimmer?

First, remove the current blade by gently rotating it counter-clockwise or using a dedicated unblocking mechanism. Then, insert the new attachment into the base and rotate it clockwise or press it into the base until you hear a click.

Conclusion
