Makeup Artist Explains Why She Shaves Her Eyebrow Tails

Makeup artist Kaycee, known online as "bishuwish," recently addressed a viewer's question about her eyebrow routine, specifically the practice of shaving the outer edges of her brows. In a video posted June 9th, 2025, Kaycee explained that this technique is quite common in the drag and theater communities. "Shaving the tail off of your brow is actually very common, especially in the drag world and theater special effect makeup," she stated. This allows for a more precise shaping of the brows and gives makeup artists more freedom to create various expressive looks.
