High Brow

Everyone has one. That thing they notice almost instantly on a person’s face. For some it’s hair or lack there-of, others its the eyes but for me, you had me at “eye-brows.” Yes my beauty OBSESSION is eyebrows. Those incredible slug line hair that drape curiously above your peepers. They do it for me.

Being blessed (this word has changed from cursed in my later years) with thick, black eyebrows I have been able to hone my talent on this completely necessary yet practically useless strips of hair. Eyes may be the window to your soul but a window is not a window without a frame and the eyebrows are the all important frame.

While i go BANANAS for eyebrows so many girls do not and it gives me eyebrow grief. A girl can be transformed with a good shape and shadow of the brow. Don’t believe me? Check out these babes who all have a dirty little secret – they all once had ICKY ICKY poo thin, unshaped eyebrows.

Example A: Jennifer Hawkins

Before she was crowned Miss Myer and ohh Miss Universe she was just another GC Miss Indy contestant who was channeling Pamela Anderson in the brows department. Now she exudes high glamour with her perfectly shaped and shaded brows (tip: JH does not have naturally thick brows she thickens them with shadow, you can should do this now!)

Example B: Lauren Conrad

From the beach to the hills was all it took for LC to realise she look HORRIFIC with those brows and made them red carpet ready.

Example C: Megan Fox

Mega babe was once mega travesty with her too thin brows that removed her sex-pot status with each tweeze.

HOW CAN I LOOK AHH-MAZING YOU SAY!?

Be realistic about your brow shape. While you may lust after Brooke Shields circa Blue Lagoon that style may be aiming a little too high. Look at celebrities with similar eyebrows to you and check them out. Also while the yummy bushy look is very much in decide whether it will work for you. A groomed brow suits all but a fashion forward bush on the brow does not. You must have an extremely beautiful face to do so – hence why it is generally reserved for models. But props for trying! I suggest looking for inspiration from my brow-babe Camille Belle.

The easiest way to find your brow shape is to grab a pen, while I did a tutorial on my own face I decided Angelina Jolie is better eye candy for us all.

Step 1: Line pen up along the side of your nose, this will show you where your brows START.

Step 2: Holding pen still at the corner of your nose tilt on an angle until it crosses your iris (looking forward) this is the HIGHEST point of the brow

Step three: Tilt pen even further from the corner of your nose until it reaches the end of your eye, this is where your brow ENDS

NOW when you know the rules you can break them. For a dramatic look extending the brow line even further is EPIC GLAM and was used by dames such as Liz Taylor and Marilyn Monroe.

So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pay attention to your brows - they will make your face SOOOO MUCH BETTER! The moment you do you will wonder how you went all those years not looking your best! Shaping your brow will make you look younger, more rested and HOTTER. It's the affordable face lift and the accessible make over.

Shape, shadow and love your brows today.
