The Perfect Brow

I don't know about y'all but I am a brow snob.
To me, the brow makes the face!
I have definitely had my eyebrow oopsies over my lifetime, one being a girl simply could not wax therefore creating a thing line of nothing on my face, it was embarrassing. I might have a picture to show you. But now with my experience in waxing and eye for the perfect brow, I think everyone should take a note or too and create your perfect brow!

Examples:

Kim K.
Simply stunning, she's Armenian which equals, uh-hem, hairy. (Plus they talk about it on the show...). Obviously she has to keep up with those bad boys and does so well at it!

I am obsessed with Megan Fox's brows. They are such a "sexy/fierce" shape. They really make her eyes pop!


Keys for the perfect brow:

Pencil/Filler

Cliniques Instant Lift for Brows
$15
and worth every penny. Excellent product.

Or you can go the more detailed "professional" route.

Macs 208 Small Angle Eyebrow Brush
$20
Get the brush damp and dab with a matte brown shadow.
When the brush is wet, a little goes a long way.

Mac's Brown Down
$14

Note: Please do not create a whole new eyebrow with a pencil or your brush and shadow, it is tacky and noticeable.
If you are unsatisfied with your eyebrow shape, GROW THEM OUT. It's okay if you look like Bert for a couple weeks, it will be worth it in the long run. If you are still unsatisfied or don't know how to reshape them, CALL ME.

How should your brow lay on your face?
It's all about your nose.
You want the beginning point to be directly straight up from the outside of your nostril, the end, about a 45 degree angle from that point. The arch? I always said the outside part of the colored part of your eye straight up but not everyone's eye shape can work that way. So on this photo below, it's measured from the center of your nose diagonaled outward. Gosh this is hard to explain via typing!! Got it? Make sense? I swear I know what I'm talking about..
Another example.
