Here's a new look to try just in time for Christmas festivities and easy to do. Making your brows Fierce, will give your look an extra oomph! and give your eyes the extra framing for a little added attention to that sparkle in your peepers.
It doesn't matter if you have very little to no brows. In fact, the sparser the brow hair you have, the more beneficial learning basic brows can be to your everyday look. Once you master the added perfection that eyebrow kits can do, you'll wonder how your look ever went with out.
Use this diagram by Beauty and Sexy Tips to find out where your brow should start, arch, and end.
The first thing to do is to determine what your eyebrows should look like. This is done wit some help of a ruler or a very long pen, if you have it.
To determine how long your brows should be, hold a ruler parallel to your nose. Level the ruler with the inner corner of the eye, and you’ve found where your brow should begin. Mark the correct point with a dot using a kohl pencil or similar.
The tricky part is the arch, or where the highest point of your brow should be. Avoid creating an unnaturally exaggerated arch; the shape you’re aiming for is thicker at the inner corner, tapering out over the brow bone. The best way to do this is by holding a ruler from the edge of the nostril past the outer edge of the iris (the colored part of the eye) and up to the eyebrow. Mark the spot with a dot.
‘Connect’ the nostril and the outer corner of your eye with a ruler and you’ll find where your brows should stop. Now link up the dots in a gentle arch to draw the ideal shape of your eyebrow. This will give you a guideline to go by waxing and tweezing.The perfect products and tools will help you create your desired eyebrows. Though there are plenty of mascara wands and pencils made especially for eyebrows, I find that the best eyebrow product to create "the full and thick look of "Fierce Brows" is the powder and wax combination pans that more and more cosmetic lines are creating. Here are a few of my favorite eyebrow kits:
Pur Minerals "Mineral Brow Perfection" ($16.50) - The most affordable and impressive of the brow kits. It is best for those with sensitive skin and comes with a clear wax and a universally flattering powder that goes with any skin tone and type.
Smashbox "Brow Tech" ($24.00) - An award-winning eyebrow product (Best of Sephora) that comes in a variety of six different shades. The brow powder has a luxurious and velvet feel. Also comes in a wax and powder pan.
Urban Decay "Brow Box" ($29.00)-The only brow kit that is complete with tweezers, an angled brow brush, and mirror. With four shades to choose from, each kit comes with two powder shades so that you can create your own most natural combination (or go from light day to dramatic night) and a large pan of wax slides out from the bottom.
If the desired look is that of Audrey Hepburn rather than Sasha Fierce, adding a little pencil on top will do just the trick. Here is a great video by Beauty Guru, Kandee the Makeup Artist, which shows exactly how to pull off the Audrey-brow-look as well as a couple of tips on how to get your eyebrows looking in tip top shape:
