I use veet facial wax strips. Dead simple but I always dust a very, very fine smudge of talc on first then practicality rub it off again. It means the wax sticks to hairs and not skin so there isn’t any skin irritation.

Thanks for the great tip! Does it take a lot of
Practice?

Not for upper lip. Just rub to warm the strips between fingers then gently pull apart, I then rest them sticky side up on the cold of the sink to re firm the wax, press it on, smoothing to warm the wax again to stick to the hairs then, brace yourself! Grab from the bottom of the strip and pull, following the line of you lip, towards the middle of your lip.
Eyebrows are trickier. I generally cut them to follow the general shape of my brows to whip of any stray hairs and pluck a few if needed. Better to leave too many on than take too many off!
