Eyebrows
Use a mascara
close to your natural hair color (light brown is
OK for blonds) First, the shape of the brow is variable. The keys are where to
start and end the brow. The brow should start about even with the inside corner
and end at a point in line with an imaginary line drawn from the tip of the nose
through the outer corner of the eye. The total brow shape should follow the
natural contour of the brow bone in the shape of the eye. You can really vary
this to other styles, but this is a basic look as in the picture below.
Some tweezing or waxing may be required to perfect the shape. Tara does a wonderful job on that; use her method. She recommends Tweezerman tools. I use a combination of tweezing (and very little of that) and scissor cutting. Also look at what Eyebrowz has to offer. They have a system that has perfected brows. Once you have the shape, you need to get the color. I use either dark brown mascara or black-brown powder for this. Apply the mascara to a brow brush or if using powder a small flat tipped stiff brush. Use the brush to lift and color; wide to the inside and narrowing as you go out. Fade the line to nothing at the far most point. To finish the shape you may need to use a brow pencil to fill in the gaps and a wedge-shaped sponge with a little foundation to erase your mistakes. To hold the brows up, lightly apply some hairspray to your brow brush and run it through your brows in a lifting motion staring at the inside edge and sweeping slightly toward the outside. This will make your brows appear more natural. I do recommend having a professional waxing done to get that perfect shape, then maintain as you decide.
