LET'S DO IT!
Step 1: Get a professional shape and tint- I went to
Benefit Brow Bar in the Myer Centre, Brisbane City.
Step 2: Choose your
Weapon of Choice- pencil/gel/brow set/powder, whatever you want! I'm currently in love with Benefit Brows A Go Go
Step 3: Recreate at home using these handy hints!
- Defining Your Brow- The Three Lines:
Your therapist would have shaped your brows using The Three Lines- these tips are to be used for at home maintenance (I get a very attractive uni-brow between salon visits and this is a God send).
Line 1- Put your index finger on the outside of your nostril and up to the inner part of the brow. This is where your brow should begin!
Line 2- Looking straight ahead, draw the imaginary line from the nostril, passing on the edge of the pupil. This is where the arch should be! NOTE If this is too difficult, the arch is directly above the outer edge of the iris.
Line 3- Trace a line from the nostril to the outer corner of the eye. This is where the brow should end!
Remember!
- Your brows should be at least as thick as a standard pencil- any thinner and you need to go to brow rehab- let those babies grow back!
- Brows which are too thin will instantly age you ten years.
- Never ever EVER lighten brows at home- the chemicals could make you go BLIIIIIND!
- Always use a highlighter under the brow bone to enhance your arch
Using Your Weapon Of Choice (WoC):
For this tutorial, my WoC is Benefit Brows-A-Go-Go! A fantastic product that has a
deep brown cream and powder, a light brown powder, a highlighting cream and powder, a black eyeliner and an angled brush.
Benefit Brows-A-Go-Go
Now it's time to enhance! My brow ritual takes about 2 minutes!
Mix all brown shades together on an angled brush and fill in brow. The brown cream will "set" the brows while the light and dark powders fill the brow. Using the two powder shades ensures you don't look like you have two caterpillars on your face! Use light feathery strokes, as if you are drawing little hairs in between the gaps.
The shape should be thickest at the inner part and should gently thin to the outer corner.
Mix the cream and powder highlighters together to create a paste and enhance that arch!
YOU'RE ALL DONE! Time to smile!
Easy peasy lemon squeezy! I hope this tutorial was helpful for everyone! Let me know in the comments what you think.
Keep it Haute!
