When it comes to beauty, there are no rules. You can make em and break em. As long as you are satisfied, thats all that really matters right?
I’m usually really laid back when it comes to my daily makeup routine. Yes I am a makeup artist, but that doesn’t mean I have to wear my entire makeup collection on my face. My skin would die from suffocation!
My daily makeup is simple, concealer under the eyes, lipgloss and EYEBROWS.
My hair stylist believes hair frames the face. I say eyebrows frame the eyes. Remember the cliche “Eyes are the windows to the soul“? Well it’s true, the eyes are usually the first thing that attracts attention to the face. So you want to make sure they’re beautifully framed like a masterpiece painting.
If you want to change the look of your face, change your eyebrows first. Majority of the time, it will make the most dramatic difference.
Now they’re are different ways to achieve your perfect brows. I can sit here and show you all the different techniques, illustrations, guides and endless examples of brows to choose from.
They even invented kits. Fool proof right?
With so many choices, how do you know which is the perfect brow for you?!
I can’t answer that question. I cannot be the judge for that. However, I can offer you some looks you SHOULD steer away from.
The No Eyebrows Look.
For example, let’s take Adriana Lima. She is a perfect example of perfection. Her lips, nose, body, hair and of course, eyes. They’re piercing all right. A perfect pair of eyebrows doesn’t hurt either.
Now, lets take a look at her Givenchy 2009 Ad Campaign…where they removed her beautiful brows. The outcome?
Drumroll…
Jaw Drops…WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? Who was the art director for this? Explain yourself!
I’ll tell you how. Removing your brows. It sure does play an important factor in that. Adriana is beautiful, but please leave her brows alone.
Shudders…
The no eyebrows look is hard to pull off. Not even the lust worthy Megan Fox is capable of it.
Wow…she’s bombing…dang…errr…no…ewwww….why….gouches eyes out.
Even in high fashion, they attempt the no eyebrows look…but I can understand why they would want to.
Have you noticed how…outer worldly these girls look? Borderline alien/androgynous right?
The absence of brows creates a more intelligent presence. The bigger and higher the forehead, the smarter one appears.
Magdalena Frackowiak actually looks decent compared to the rest sporting the no brows look. I guess it varies from people to people.
Side note, I did her makeup for Fashion Week! She was checking her cellphone real quick when I was letting her mascara dry. She’s so sweet!
So my best advice to find your perfect brows, but without compensating for your mistakes by waiting for the rest of your tweezed hairs to grow out is to…
Photoshop my friend. Photoshop new eyebrows and find the right look.
Here I took a straight on photo of my face. Completed with my usual set of brows.
From there, I went went on a creative rampage and created new sets of brows to my liking. No tweezers involved!
The Skinny. Skinny with a lower arch.
I call this one the Korean. Darkern the color.
The Brooke Shields. The Bleach. Makes me look older right?
The Arch. The Perfect. Brings balance and harmony to my face.
Experiment, don’t be afraid to try new things.
Not everyone looks best with the perfect arch brows. It would not be the same if Audrey Hepburn did not have her signature boyish brows.
She looks MUCH better with her elf like brows.
Find the right look that makes YOU happy. You know your face best and that makes you the director. The world is your stage, so express yourself!
I hope you enjoyed this entry!
Remember, only one person looks hot with no brows…that person is….
drum roll
Mona Lisa….Bow chica wow wow.
Have a great day or evening, whatever it is outside.
Kindly,
Michelle
P.S More Mr. Bun Bun goodness. He’s loving the stairs and exploring my place more.
hi michelle, you are right “When it comes to beauty, there are no rules”
I have a little website with some photographers and we help girls to find the right shape of her eyebrows by using a photo editor

I like you blogging and the videos – you want to present also some videos on our site?
See you

Hi Michelle!
Just wanted to leave you an idea for a new video about eyebrows. I recently learned a new technique for threading your eyebrows and it works amazingly well! I heard it’s an old method used by Indians and all you need it’s a cotton thread. “Pursebuzz” already did a video about this technique which you can see in this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F37Sl1c7BA0.
I always look upon your channel and ahanhbarbie34’s. So, for all the viewers who watches you, like me, well they might like to learn about this technique.
have a nice day,
Rita
Hahaha! I love your korean eyebrows, but it’s so true, all korean (female) stars always have those thick but light colored eyebrows! Love itt
Michelle i absolutely love you and your work.
I think you do an AMAZING job of making girls feel like there beautiful even if they dont think they are.
I love your work on youtube, and you are a life saver when it comes to make up!
please keep posting videos on youtube
I know i will be watching, i will make an account just to subscribe to you! haha.
Thanks Channelle.

Hi Michelle~ What kind of brow pencil/kit and brush do you use? I’d love to try out the styles you did here<3!
HI Michelle!!!
I love your tips, helping me too much!!! I’m from Florida also, and i wish you teach some more tips. Thanks!!!
Sincerely,
Alexandra Laboy.
Thanks, for the eyebrow stuff, Michelle! I have to admit, I never learned so much about eyebrows before. Though I know my brows pretty well, before, when I didn’t led me to have to wear more makeup to look polished. This really did help me find more possibilities though. I can’t wait to experiment! Thanks again!
Hey Michelle,
Love your videos, and what your talking about eyebrows. It does matter because your eyebrows need to look very modern. They need to stay on everyone’s face. Thanks for talking about them. It works. By the way, my name is Erica Faith Booth,and I am 11 years old. And I did your sunset eyes, and it worked. I want to be just like you. Have sweet dreams Michelle. Love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey Michelle I just got a youtube account and you are the first I commented, I love all your videos you are very talented! I really need your help, I have very dry skin especially on my cheeks and sometimes forhead and the sides of my nose as well, but on the summer my skin is more towards combination, I use MAC studio fix but it got me small white bumps that feel like sand paper they disappear for a month or two then they come back, I wanted to ask you if you know any foundation that is good for dry/sensitive skin that is prone to breakouts? thanks!
Hi Michelle! Im just wondering, Is it okay to pluck your eyebrows when your 12? Im going to high school this year and I want to make a good impression. My eyebrows are like really dark and bushy. I also dont know which type of eyebrows would suit me … Please help!
Dearest Yuki

i think naturally arched, filled-in eyebrows look the best. unfortunately, i have these stupid, straight brows.
Is it bad that I use an eyeliner pencil as an eyebrow pencil to redefine my brows.
Whenever I watch Michelle due it she uses a different beauty utensil.
I’m wondering what the difference outcomes of the two?
Sorry about the typos. It’s after 3 in the morning.
Michelle, can you give us some “demo” for spring like the one you made Easy Autum? Thanks a lot. I love your videos.
On myself, I prefer thinner brows. I have very deep-set eyes and thinner brows help bring more light into my eye area. Also, sometimes thicker brows look kind of manly on certain women, but only if they have no arch and are unkempt. I think that every woman’s face is different (obviously) and there are no “one size fits all” eyebrows that universally look good on everyone. Bone structure is also crucial in whether thicker or thinner brows look better.
Hello!Michelle,I am A Big Fan of you.I Love You so much!
Hello!Michelle,I am a Big Fan of you.I Love You so much.
Hey Michelle,
Your bunny is so cute and your makeup tips are wonderful! I use the 5min. makeup when I get ready for school.
Thanx so much and I hope you and Mr. Bun Bun are well!

Michelle, one of the things you comment on most is the importance of the prevention of wrinkles, so I was wondering, what products or methods would you recommend for someone how has still yet to show any signs of fine lines and wrinkles? I can only seem to find products for fixing them, not preventing them
Mr. Bun Bun is too adorable.
hi! just wanna ask, which photoshop did you use?

Hello…your advice on eyebrows is enthralling anyhow, and the commentary was quite enjoyable – I admire your makeup tips and such and I think that you format your youtube videos in a very understandable and down to earth way. However, may I ask that you keep mildly disturbing photographs off of eyebrow tutorials…you see, I was showing my friend the site and she started freaking out when she saw the picture from the Ring. Thank you very much – Kimi
Wow! Michelle Phan is so amazing! I wonder if she would play Borderlands with me? So cool!!

You clearly left out Lara Stone, who had bleached brows for a time. Her brow bones are pronounced and yours (as an asian) are not, clearly making your face as unsuited for a non-brow look as Lara is perfect for it. Never confuse high fashion campaigns (Lima for Givenchy) with your commercial tastes.
Hey, Michelle!
I watch your youtube videos everyday. I’m addicted. Anyway, in some of your videos I see you wearing these contacts and sometimes you will advertise the cute case you have them in. But… You never say where you get them!! Please respond to this comment or make a video saying where you go your contacts!!
