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.
