The perfect brow can either make or break an entire look. It is the ultimate beauty accessory and when beautifully shaped, eyebrows have the power to transform your entire face, enhance your natural beauty, and make you look well put together, even with little or no make-up.
Today I’m going to tell you what my best kept secrets are for great eye brows and what products I use to get them that way!
Here are some “Universal Plucking Rules” from RunningwithHeels:
1. The eyebrow should always begin directly above the inner corner of your eye.
2. Your brow should frame the entire eye — no exceptions.
3. To find the highest point of your arch, hold a make up brush, eye pencil, or a q-tip even with the outside edge of your iris. The inner section should go up to the peak and the outer section (usually a third or less of the brow) should travel downward and taper off. When the prominence of the bone is visible under the arch, it lifts and opens the eye area taking years off the face.
4. To find where the brow should naturally end, hold the make up brush so the handle stretches from your nostril to the outer corner of your eye. The spot where the handle intersects your brow is the perfect ending point. If your brow ends before that point, extend it with a powder or pencil. As we age, our brows grow less dense from the outside in. So the longer you maintain your brows proper length, the more youthful you look.
Now that you have a good place to start, here are some great products I use one a daily basis to keep my brows in tip-top shape:
1. Brow Express by Anastasia Beverly Hills
This brow kit by Anastasia Beverly Hills is a new and innovative way to keep brows looking well groomed on the go. This palette is your one-stop essential kit to complete an effortless and natural look anytime, anywhere. It contains four brow stencils that are used as guides to suit various brow shapes and styles, two brow powders to custom blend the your natural brow color, an angled brush for precise application, a cream highlighter for application along the brow bone to lift and enhance the eyes, and a wax cream to hold your brows in shape from day to night.
This product is for you major “Over-pluckers”! The Brow Enhancing Serum is a colorless and odorless gel, consisting of a unique blend of top proteins and vitamins designed to condition, repair, and restore the eyebrows. The unique gel-based formula is designed to help restore thin, over-plucked, and undernourished eyebrows. Brow Enhancing Serum is not harmful to the eyes or the surrounding skin area, plus as an added bonus, it also slows down excess hair loss, which results in a healthier fuller-looking brow.
“Blonde” is a taupe brown with warm undertones that I use for filling in my brows. This silky, matte powder glides on effortlessly and blends to perfection and doubles as a great day eyeshadow. The densely pigmented formula can be layered for extra drama.
So high-brow. 😉
