Eyebrows Abound

It is pretty tough and really overwhelming to decipher the mixed messages telling us how to keep our brows lovely, soft and perfectly shaped.  We hear first waxing is best, then threading or wait, maybe tweezing. Maintaining those lovely eye-frames can be not only confusing but quite costly.  Waxing maybe the most widely available form of shaping your brows. It is quick, rather painless and cost effective.  Keep in mind that you do have many options to keep your eyebrows looking lovely, manicured and expressive.  Try one or or them all, lord knows I have.  Please just don't go on your own. Those eyebrow stencils that you can use to create a shaped brow only spell DISASTER. Put your brows in the eyes of a professional. My new favorite are brow bars that are popping up in cities and suburbs. I make a regular trip to Benefit's Brow Bar at Bloomingdale's.  They wax and tweeze to give a natural, shaped and elegant frame perfected just for your face.

After you have achieved that perfect shape it's time to talk products that will give a flawless finish to your snazzy and newly shaped brows.

I adore Makeup Forever's Waterproof Brow Corrector.  It's a waterproof eyebrow defining cream in a tube that fills, defines, and intensifies brows with natural-looking, stay-put color.  You must use a slanted brush to apply.  Trust me, you put this product on and you will be flawless all day and night.

Another must is Anastasia's Brow Wiz.  I am absolutely ga-ga over this product.  It delivers a precise application with its ultra-fine pencil tip, mimicking the appearance of tiny hairs.  This product is ideal for a natural look or use it to freshen up your shape when it seems as though your girls are unruly. Anastasia also makes another product that I covet for ladies with very sparse brows.  It is her Brow Pen. Not only does it fill in the brows with a true natural whispy hair look, it also can be used as a base for your other brow products for double duty long lasting wear. 

If you love a penciled brow look and can't seem to part from your method of brow filling check out Clinique's Instant Lift for Brows.  This two-in-one automatic brow pencil and pearlized highlighter duo creates a contrast and definition that give eyes a virtual lift. First, fill in and shape brows with long-wearing natural-looking pencil. Then optically 'boost' brow arches with universal highlighter shade just below brow hairs. A fantastic and portable manner of making your brow look amazing and your eyes open and bright anytime.

Be lovely
