Barbara Harrington Shares Her Best Make Up Tips for the Brow – Wow for Brows!
EyeBrows: Creating the Frame of the Eye
The key purpose for eyebrows is to prevent moisture (such as perspiration or rain) from going into the eye. The shape of the eyebrow and the direction which the eyebrow hairs point make sure that this moisture flows sideways around the eye to help protect the eye. Plus, the protruding brow ridge and the eyebrows also help shade the eyes from sunlight.
Eyebrows create a frame for the eye. Our eyebrows are linked to our expressions in amazement, surprise or anger.
So….It is important to discover what the best shape for your eyebrows is without sacrificing their natural appearance.
To create the best shape, and have maximum control, tweezing is best. However, that is not say you can’t have your eyebrows waxed, but you lose on the control aspect.
Eyebrows – Basics 101
The beginning of the brow should align with the center of the nostril.
The arch of the brow should fall at the back third of the eye.
The eyebrow should follow the length of the eye but it shouldn’t extend into the temple area. The basic rule is that the front part of the brow should never drop below the back part of the brow.
Tips To Thicken Thin Eyebrows:
Eyebrow should begin parallel to inner corner of eye and end just beyond eye.
Eyebrow is fullest at Nose Bridge, gently arches and softly tapers at the end.
Start at the bridge of the nose with EyeBrow; apply color over entire eyebrow area in short hair-like strokes.
Tips for Full Eyebrows::
The beginning of the eyebrow should be in line with inner corner of the eye and end just beyond eye.
Use a feather-touch stroke with brow color to fill in any areas with sparse hair.
Blend with eyebrow brush.
Brow Tips: To Tweeze or Not to Tweeze…That is the question
Most of us need to tweeze (at least a little bit), to allow the brow to suggest a more finished look to the face. Besides the general rule of using a very good tweezer, it’s a good idea to go to a reputable eyebrow professional at least once. It’s worth the $12.00 to $15.00 to have her decide what’s right for your face and establish the line for you. You can take over from there.
The reason for going to a professional is so that you know which hairs you need to tweeze, and which ones to leave alone. Knowing which ones to tweeze really makes all the all the difference in an attractive brow vs. one that isn’t.
If you don’t do this professionally, try different shapes over your brow first to get the right one for you first. And follow the stenciled shape the best you can.
To help you really see what you are doing, use a good magnifying mirror (at least with 5x magnification).
Go Slow – Check your work.
Your brow should align with the center of the nostril.
Eyebrows should follow the length of the eye, and not extend into the temple area.
Avoid over tweezing!
Don’t tweeze a thin line thinking it will make your eyes look larger…because it won’t and it wall be not easy to correct.
To make it less painful, tweeze immediately after showering.
By the way, don’t tweeze too often. Once or twice a week should suffice, as the idea is to control the new growth so the brows don’t lose their shape too quickly.
And Ladies…Please never, Never, NEVER shave or EVER bring a razor near the delicate eye area! Shaving eyebrows can cause skin discolorations and your brows never grow back the same.
