A Brow Raising Good Time!




Eyebrows frame your face. Eyebrows can make or break you...I'm not kidding! A few things to think about:


  • Anyone who is still rockin the Drew Barrymore in her weird, rust lipstick wearing, bleach blonde pixie hair eyebrow stage. Please grow them out!!! I do like the haircut though...
  • More is generally better.
  • Arching your brow too close to the inside of your eye is not good.
  • If you need to fill in your brows, use a brow powder and a nice angled brush. It looks more natural than pencil.
  • If you really aren't skilled in the tweezing department, go to a makeup artist at a reputable salon for a great shaped brow. It might seem a little pricier than your waxing at the nail salon, but trust it's worth every penny! A makeup artist will also brush and cut your brows which is the key for a finished look.
Here is a step by step guide to help you achieve a beautiful brow

  1. A) Hold a makeup brush handle from the corner of your nose to the inner corner of your eye....this is where you eyebrow should start.
  2. B) Hold that same brush from the corner of your nose to the outer pupil of your eye...this is the general area where your eyebrow should arch.
  3. C) Hold the brush again from the corner of your nose to the outer corner of your eye...this is where your eyebrow should end.
  4. When you start tweezing you want to literally connect the dots in between these three points. (see the image at the top of the page? the lines are very clean...try to go for this look) Start by making a straight line from the inner corner up to your arch point and then another straight line from your arch point down to the outer corner.
  5. When filling in use quick light strokes in the same direction as your eyebrow grows, again, connect the dots, that would be up to your arch point and down to the outer corner.
Hot Tip: If your eyebrows have the Drew look above and you plan on growing them out, please be very very patient. I will take for-ev-er for them to start to grow again but it will happen. Just hang in there and use that powder filler until you can get some real hair growing. They may come in patchy but again that's what the filler is for. YOU CAN DO IT!!! Look at Drew below...it can happen!
