Bottom: 1
My best friend and I like to joke that
our lives are split in two parts. The first called “Before I filled in
my brows” and the current part is “After I filled in my brows.” Yes I know what
you’re thinking, can something so simple be so monumental? Oh darling, yes it
really can be. You see the brows frame the face so if they look put together so
do you and if they’re sloppy so do you, you get the idea. It's no surprise to see
that bold, well-groomed brows have been seen all across the runways. I mean
look at Cara Delevingne not only is she the new “IT” model but her eyebrows are
banging. Or Lily Collins, who’s starring in one of the biggest pictures this
year (and her eyebrows have their own twitter account.) It isn’t hard to find your eyebrow role model and though it’s scary and
intimidating at first it’s definitely worth a try.
One of my all time favorite brands for
all things eyebrows is Anastasia. Not only does the brand have a ton of
different colors and formulas but they have the most amazing clear brow gel. I
personally use and love the Perfect Brow Pencil. It has the pencil on one end
and an eyebrow brush on the other. The pencil is pigmented and ever so soft
which mean it glides nicely on the brows versus tugging at them. The brush on
the other end is also such a perk. You can groom your brows and use the brush to
soften the color of the pencil and create a more natural look. It also makes it
so convenient to throw into your purse and touch up if needed.
I recommend trying eyebrow pencils,
powder, or gels in person. Places like Sephora or Ulta are great for this
because you can test them and if you don’t really know what to look for you can
always ask an associate. It’s also more flattering to choose a color that
resembles your own eyebrow color. If you go to dark it will look very
exaggerated and borderline tacky. Go too light and you either lighten your brows
to the point where they look fake and wash you out or it’ll look awkward
on you. It’s so easy to want to do this on your own when it’s your first time
but trust me you want to go to a professional so they can pick what’s best for
you. After you get the hang of it feel more then welcome to decide on your own
what will work best for your face. I say this because many tend to be too heavy
handed when filling in their eyebrows which leads them to create a new pair of
brows on their face. Make-up is meant to enhance your natural features so using
a light, gentle hand and applying slowly while following your natural brow
shape. The end result will be a fresh and flattering look. It’s all a learning
experience.
