Those who wax their sideburns

How does your make up sit post wax? I always have these big white stripes no matter how much I try to blend or bronze. So I have two options, rock my sideburns or have these embarrassing white stripes. Any tips? When my hair starts to grow back my makeup sits better, but for a couple of weeks it just looks awful.

I’m not really keen on waxing or shaving my whole face as I don’t have very visible hair anywhere else. Please share your wisdom!

Start dermaplaning. You can do it yourself at home with the right tools from Amazon.

I dermaplane. I have a tweezerman one that you can change the razors on them! I love it.

I pluck mine rather than wax as it’s gentler on the skin. I also concentrate on their area for exfoliation and moisturiser.

Would a little carefully blended fake tan help?

I also pluck, mostly painless and a softer regrowth so more natural looking. No white patches.

I probably do it once every 10 days, 3 mins with some tweezers sorts it out

I never thought of the fake tan! This could be the solution! Thank you.

Okay, I may try this tonight. I’m going to try fake tan next time but as I’m out tomorrow I can’t both wax and fake tan. Ouch if I did so will try tweezing. Thank you x
