Guide to Beautiful Brows

Are you obsessed with eyebrows? For years, I didn’t pay too much attention to my eyebrows. Then I went to beauty school. And the more I learned about beauty, the more obsessed I became with beautiful eyebrows. Eyebrows are important because they frame your face, draw attention to your eyes, create expression, and affect how old or young you look. Too many women completely ignore their eyebrows, when a great shaped brow could enhance their look. Here are a few great tips on getting gorgeous eyebrows.

See a professional.

Professional hairstylists are specially trained to create the right shaped brow for your face. Some stylists pluck and tweeze, some wax, and some even use threading to get your brows looking great. A cosmetologist’s advice and services are as invaluable for a great eyebrow as there are for your hair. Your brows are very crucial nowadays because most of the people notice initially when looking at your face. So, it is very important to see a professional such as microblading-ny.com to help you have beautiful brows.

Choose a shape.

Do you prefer a more natural looking brow or a pencil thin one? The Do you prefer a more natural looking brow or a pencil thin one? Sometimes, a fuller brow is more youthful looking, but an out-of-control eyebrow will age you. Pencil thin brows look polished, yet if they are too thin they can look harsh and cold. Do you like a highly arched brow? Or a nearly straight one? Your face shape and eye shape can help determine what shape of brows you should achieve. Try a brow stencil -such as the ones in the brow kit from Eyes Lips Face – to find the shape that fits with your natural brow. Use white eye shadow to highlight the areas you want to pluck away.

Trim your eyebrows.

A great pair of brow scissors are crucial to great looking brows. Use a clean mascara brush to brush all your brow hair straight up towards your hairline, then trim any hairs that are too long or out of place.

Use brow gel or brow mascara.

Clear brow mascara is a great way to keep those brows in place. It looks like hair gel in a little tube, but is specially formulated for the eye area. Just use the included brush to brush your brows in the way you want them to and allow the gel to dry.

Fill them in.

Even brows that don’t look sparse can benefit from being filled in. Choose a powder that is slightly lighter than your natural brow color. Use a brush to gently fill in the brows using small strokes. Use less color than you think you need, and then slowly add more if you need it. A matte eye shadow will work in a pinch if it is the right color.

If you tweeze your own eyebrows, do so sparingly, one small hair at a time. Alternate brows after plucking each hair so that you don’t make a mistake and over-tweeze. Work slowly, first removing the stray hairs that are outside of the hairline and then slowly taking away the hairs that muddle your eyebrow shape. Always err on the side of caution. Once you have over-plucked, it can take a very long time for straggly brows to grow back in. When in doubt, see a professional for beautiful brows that enhance your face.
