Brow Color - The best
combination...
Did you know that brows should be a little
lighter than your hair color? Yes, it's true...about two
shades.
Eyebrows To Die For - It's
all in the shape...
Did you know that your eyebrow is supposed to start
directly above the inner corner of your eye?
The
highest point should be just a little beyond the outer
corner of the iris and should taper off to the end!
Toothbrush Those Brows! -
Taming your brows...
If you are having trouble taming your brows, here is a
little trick:
Take a toothbrush and spray with a little hair spray and
then brush on brows. The stickiness of the hair spray
will help keep them in place.
Trimming Your Brows -
Alternative to tweezing...
This is an alternative to tweezing. Brush them up
so that the really long hairs will be very visible.
Instead of
tweezing and creating a hole, snip it with a pair of
tiny scissors. Works wonderfully
Perfect Eyebrows - Make them exquisite!
1.
Brush
brows upward. Carefully trim any excess hair above the
top of your natural arch. Be careful not to take off too
much at the ends or you'll have brow "bald" spots.
2.
Look closely at the shape. Your brow should begin at
your tear duct, peak at the outer edge of your iris and
end at the outer corner of your eye. "Many women make
the mistake of taking off too much at the outer
corners," says Weston. "This slants the brows upward and
makes the person look perpetually angry."
3.
Prep your
skin: Soak a cotton ball in astringent and wipe the brow
area.
4.
Hold a pencil in line with the outer side of your iris
and note where the peak of your arch naturally occurs.
From the arch to the outer corner of the eye, your brow
should fall in a straight or slightly curved line,
depending on the look you're trying to achieve.
5.
Hold the tweezers at a 45 degree angle and pluck the
stray hairs below the brow line. "Pull in the direction
of the hair growth, or you may end up breaking the hair
mid-shaft," says Engle. Follow your natural brow shape —
not the trends. "It's very difficult to let your brows
grow back into their natural shape after you've plucked
them to death trying to achieve a particular look," she
says.
6.
Fill in
sparse areas with a freshly sharpened brow pencil; use
light, quick strokes to draw in hair. Brow powder will
give thin brows overall definition, and is great for a
more natural look. Using the brow brush, sweep powder up
and outward over brows. If you're a brow novice, a
tinted brow gel is a foolproof way to keep brows in
place. Lightly coat brows using upward and outward
strokes. Wipe off any excess and allow it to set.
