Flawless brows

25 Jan

I admire Audrey Hepburn’s eyebrows just as much as I admire her acting and philanthropic work. They were dark, thick and expressive. They were beautiful. In an age of waxing everything, this is a look we should all try.

Tweeze: get rid of any hairs that fall below the natural arch of your brow. Don’t re-shape your eyebrows, instead work with the natural shape that is already there. This will prevent over plucking.

Fill in: Using a brown eyebrow pencil, lightly shade the area of your brow to fill them out. You aren’t drawing on eyebrows, but filling in blank spaces. Over-d0ing it will create cartoonish results.

Hold: Use hairspray or clear eyebrow gel to hold your brows in place. Stray hairs will take away from the beautiful shape you have created.

Maintain: Consider having your eyebrows waxed every 4 to 6 weeks. A professional stylist will provide a shape you can work with and maintain. Stylists also get rid of hard to see hairs, like the ones between the brows.
