BEAUTIFUL EYEBROWS

The shape of brows can vary. Our main advice is not to blindly follow fashion trends, as they can change rapidly and in fact, may not suit your face at all. Instead, choose your own shapes that will organically enhance your look, without looking too contrived.

If you are blond with a light skin - black coal eyebrows will look too artificial. Similarly, consider the length of brows - it is necessary adjust them to the proportions of your own face.

Shape of eyebrows

Arched eyebrows can make a face look older. If you have a round face, avoid a rounded eyebrow shape. Straight, even brows tend to make eyes look narrower.

If the upper part of the face is narrower than the lower, shorten brows from the side of the nose's bridge. If you have wide cheekbones and the lower part of your face is narrow, then shorten the brows from the side of temples - this trick will visually stretch the face and make the upper part look more refined.

Classical points of beginning and end of brows

Beginning point

For ease of use, use either a brush or a pencil, whichever you most prefer. Place the pencil on your face, as though an imaginary line passes through the middle of nostril (red line) and straight up to the eyebrow. The point of intersection should be the beginning point of a brow. 

End point

Place the pencil on your face as though that imaginary line passes through the tip of nose, diagonally to the temple (yellow line). The point of intersection should be the end point of a brow.

Eyebrows make-up 

If you want accentuate brows, use special brow pencils or suitable eye pencils, or eye shadow can also be used as well. If you are blond, choose colours two shades darker than your hair colour. If you have dark hair vice versa - two shades lighter. If you are red-haired, use goldish-chestnut or terracotta colours.

Make up your brows with smooth light strokes to replicate the natural direction of hair growth, and then shade-in the strokes lightly. You can use a mascara brush to do so. The brow pencil should be soft; otherwise you can damage or destroy brow hairs.

If you consider your forehead to be too narrow, - start emphasising brows from the middle of the brow to the outside only (don't make up brows from the nose to the middle). If the forehead is wide, the face can be enhanced by emphasising the eyebrows closer to the nose bridge - this will visually make the forehead smaller.

In order to keep the eyebrows in shape and to give sleekness, use special gel for brows or Eye Gloss SMITHEREENS OF STARS. Brush Eye Gloss onto brows for a dewy effect.

With tweezers remove unwanted hairs from under the brow (pink area on the picture). Don't remove hairs from the upper line of brows, as the brow line comes down naturally like this and the natural proportions of the face would be spoiled by altering it. Hairs between brows should be removed in order to avoid the effect of 'mono-brow'.

To enhance the beauty of the brow line, apply a thin line with Highlighting Liquid SEAS OF ILLUMINATIONS or with Luminous Skin Wand FINE-SPUN LIGHT under the brow.

Shape change

If you want to change shape of your brows but you have never done it on your own before, consider going to a professional make-up artist. In this case, it is best to not pluck the eyebrows for about two weeks, in order to let the eyebrows grow back to their natural shape. This way the make-up artist will be able to best determine the ideal shape for your face.
