Get the eyebrows you always wanted: Eyebrow fact:

Your eyebrows are one of the most important features of your face. Eyebrows frame your eyes and move with your facial expressions and balance your entire face. when they’re styled right, you actually look better and need less makeup, which is a boon for women in their 30s and 40s. Think of a young Brook Shields good eyebrows are youthful. While Brook’s brows from the Calvin Kline days of the 1980s are styled fuller than the fashionable brows of today, they are still youthful and seductive in their naturalness.

Get the brows you’ve always wanted Step 1: Let your brows grow!

If you shave, over-pluck, or just have sporadic growth, leave them alone for at least 6 weeks so you can see which brow you’re going to have to work with and start defining what kind of shape they naturally have. . Because to look good, your brows need to be shaped in harmony with how they naturally grow.

The biggest mistake I see with my clients is plucking or shaving or plucking the wrong parts of the brow (WORST!) Biggest offenses are plucking the outer corner (near the temple), the inner part near the nose and the area of ​​​​the arch of the eyebrows. A good rule of thumb is to keep the basic shape of the brows in perfect harmony with the inner and outer corners of the eyes at every point.

To achieve this, use the handle of a thin makeup brush to make an imaginary line at each corner, mark with an eyebrow pencil if you have to level it, there is no hair on the outer corners of the temples, this will allow you to see where you need to growing up. hair inside, and don’t worry, you can fake it in the meantime. Just remember that all good things come to those who wait!

Get the brows you’ve always wanted Step 2: Study how brows work with eye and face shape

I’m going to show you how you can study brows so you don’t have to spend up to $50.00 each to do basic brow shaping for the first time. Instead, spend $4.00 on any good fashion or beauty magazine that features women’s faces in ads and designs, examples of good studios are: In-Style, Vogue, Allure, Bazar, and Marie Claire, etc. With a magazine in hand and a bit of time, at least half an hour (have some herbal tea, a marker and a hand mirror) sit in a comfortable chair in a well lit area and look…really study the eyebrows of these models and actresses. in advertisements and designs. Study how your eyebrows work with the shape of your eyes and the shape of your face. See where they start and where they end, and compare the eyebrows.

Then, the fun part, take your marker and (no, don’t draw mustaches on the models…although I know it’s tempting) start tracing circles on the eyebrows that are most similar in color to your own. Notice how they are shaped, just keep looking and you will see a defined style between the eyebrows. Then take your mirror and take a good look at your eyebrows and see how they are the same or different from those in the photographs. Are they fixed? slightly arched? Too skinny? Of thickness? etc… crop or pluck the eyebrow photos that are most applicable to the shape and color of your eyebrows.

I can’t stress enough what a difference a little brow tint can make, especially for blondes and those with light or gray hair. It is a great advantage to dye them before shaping them because you will see that you had hairs in your eyebrows that you did not know. Think of Gwen Stephanie with platinum eyebrows to match her hair… not good.

Brow tint I uses 10% peroxide (you can use 3% household peroxide with good results or you can use 10% peroxide (available at beauty supply stores) The tint is easy to use, (mix it 50/50 tint /peroxide in a shot glass) and all you need to apply it is a disposable mascara wand $1.95 for 20 (good for future applications and brow grooming) these can be purchased at the same beauty supply store Mix it up and leave it on for 1-3 min max , wipe it off with a cotton ball then one dipped in tap water and voila you have instant brows to shape Lasts about 2 weeks (varies for each individual) but easy to re-brush apply and is a vegetable-based tint for added safety.your eyes.

Get the brows you’ve always wanted Step 4: Use the right brow styling tools

First of all, brow styling tools can and do make a difference. Good tools allow for faster brow styling that is more precise. Invest in at least some good tweezers, a brow/liner pencil, and the closest matte eyeshadow to your hair color.

Make sure your brow pencil isn’t too red if you have ash blonde/brown hair (some blonde pencils and light brown pencils have too much red). You will have many brands of pencils to choose from and the less expensive the better, just in case. you find out you bought the wrong color. Taupe or a soft charcoal brown for blondes is always safe. Then you’ll need one of your mascara wands from your brow tinting session, a small scissors (one used to cut nails works well), a small slanted eye makeup brush and a mirror, some brow stencils made or bought by yourself and a mirror preferably one on the wall that magnifies or one of those three way lighted makeup mirrors from Con Air Brand will work great, this is to keep your hands free to work.

Get the brows you’ve always wanted Step 5: Start using these professional techniques when you design your own brows.

First, brush your brows up with the mascara wand, scissoring any hairs that are too long when brushing and parallel to your temples. Then take your pencil and start at the end of your brow near your temple and work inwards towards your nose slightly and as if you were drawing with a charcoal pencil brush in short sporadic but directional strokes back and forth against the growth of his eyebrow This will make the brow pencil blend in and look more natural and leave the brows slightly waxy so you can brush them into place and they will stay put.

Then carefully, with a slow and methodical study, look at your images and, starting at the outer corner of the temple, work inwards towards the nose, taking care to look at the image periodically and see how the eyebrows form where the image is. nose meets forehead at the corner of your inner eye…don’t take too much brow here look at the photo again see how the models brow is shaped. The only place to really go to town is the baby hair on the flat plane of the nose between the eyes. But here again… look where the brow ends on your high style groomed brow from your ad model.

What’s next: Take your mascara wand and brush your brows in short but fluid strokes in the direction they grow. Then take your flat, slanted eye makeup brush and dip it into your matching brow shadow or powder and in short, flowing strokes, this time apply the powder in the direction of your brow growth, dabbing further into any missed spots. This serves two purposes, one to prevent the pencil from wearing out and two to fill in any empty spaces.

Once this is complete, take your mascara wand and brush your brows into place in the direction of their growth and as if by magic, your brows are already looking fabulous. Add some minimal neutral eye makeup, mascara, a little soft apricot blush, and a little coral/pink or sheer lip gloss and you’ll glow beautifully!
