You must NEVER underestimate the power of the eyebrow.

-Jack Black

Picture yourself with the eyebrows of Cruella De Vil and then with those of  Marilyn Monroe.  I’m pretty confident you looked a lot more glamorous with Marilyn’s eyebrows. A well defined brow can definitely influence your level of attractiveness.  Creating the look of a younger more polished you! But, oh, the frustration of achieving the perfect brow!

We’ve all been there. Trying to create the “perfect brow” and instead creating an unrealistic arch that looks like that of  Ronald McDonald  or worse, Carrot Top.

BROWRAGEOUS!

This only puts us in a brow frenzy as we head for the beauty ammo.  We grab pencils, waxes, gels, powders,  tweezers and sealants. Some may end up so brow crazy, they’ll tweeze all of their eyebrows off until they look a Sphynx!   OR some of us have gone as far as tattooing brows on– eek!  This may work for a few people, but usually tattoos aren’t a good idea.

As the face ages, brows tend to take on a different shape.  Tattooed brows stop you from filling in the natural shape of your brow leaving you with an unnatural look.

What can you do to stop the brow mania???  Well, first-you need to find YOUR perfect brow shape and arch.

Grab a pencil, pen or anything straight. Take your chosen object and place it up against the outermost part of your nose and the inside corner of your eye.  This is where you eyebrow should start.

Next, place it at outer edge of your iris.  This is where your arch should start, and finally, the brow should end at the outer nose and put on the outer corner of the eye.   Mark all of these areas.  Now, Place a stencil over the areas you marked as your perfect brow.  I recommend Anastasia’s eyebrow stencils for a perfect arch every time!

Then finally, use a tinted brow gel and fill in the brows.  I can’t recommend strongly enough Per-fekt Beauty’s brow perfection gel.   I’m in love with this stuff!  Its an easy alternative to all those brow waxes, pencils and powders.  It effortlessly fill in eyebrows making them naturally full. Any bare spots will just disappear!

It tames the eyebrows and the color is perfect.  And I cant forget to mention, it’s water sweat transfer resistant!  You’ll have your brows all day!  I do recommend getting a shade lighter than the color of your hair.  After they are shaped and you have filled in your color, remove the stencil, and pluck or trim any strays that are not in your perfect brow and Voila!  How Browliciously stunning you now are! =)
