Li says her tweezers can bring you luck ...

PLUCKING your eyebrows can help improve your performance at work, and even solve relationship problems.
That’s the belief of Li Chau-jing, practitioner of a Chinese tradition dating back more than 2,000 years.
Li is a trained face reader who says that even making slight changes to her client’s brows will bring them better luck.
Face readers say they can determine a client’s fate by interpreting their features — a strong brow translates to the person’s ability to plan ahead, high cheekbones can point to power. The face can be read like a book, they say, a showcase of a person’s wealth, health and family.
Li says she can help alter the path of destiny with just a few flicks of her tweezers.
“It’s an instant change and you can change it for everyone,” she said. “I can help a person in the shortest amount of time, by bringing them energy and happiness and the goal they want to reach.”
The former make-up artist says she studied the art of face reading with a mentor and has been running her shop in Sham Shui Po, a working class neighborhood in Hong Kong, for six years.
Women tend to come to her to solve emotional or relationship problems, men for better luck at work, she says.
Li believes straight brows will bring more luck and happiness than curved. “If the brows are very straight, then those people will not have to suffer through many hardships,” she says.
Edward Lam, a 35-year-old television technician, said he felt more energetic after having his brows modified.
“The biggest goal I have for fixing my eyebrows is to find jobs and to have better networking, and that my career will improve,” Lam said.
“I believe that the impression I gave was better,” he said of job interviews since having his brows worked on by Li.
Face reader Chow Hon-ming says the art is a scientific discipline that ties in with some of the tenets of traditional Chinese medicine.
“There are turning points in a person’s life, and when you can’t make a decision at those points, you might want to seek a master,” Chow said.
A face reader starts with the left ear, which tells the story of the first seven years of a person’s life. The right ear reflects the next seven, followed by the nose, eyes and chin, which are used to predict later life.
Chow says Hillary Clinton will win the US presidential election as her chin is “stronger” than rival Donald Trump’s.
Chow said tweaking features like eyebrows could give fortunes a short-term boost — but warned against drastic changes, describing plastic surgery as potentially doing more harm than good.
