Beauty Dept. Eyebrows And Eyelashes


BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL
Bold brows may be back, but that doesn't spell the end of good grooming. Brought into Vogue by Brooke Shields and sported by sophisticated beauties such as Jennifer Connelly and Hilary Rhoda, fuller eyebrows are as elegantly shaped and coloured as their pencil thin predecessors. Shape them with tweezers or have them waxed. The new gold plated Tweezelight tweezer has a built in penlight to illuminate those difficult to see areas.
TO GET THE LOOK
Hold a pencil vertical from the side of your nose up to your brow.This will tell you where to start your brow. Tweeze out any hair between the brows. Your arch should peek over the middle of the eye. Remove any strays below the brow. Comb eyebrows up and trim any long hairs. Carefullly, do not cut holes in your brow.
When considering colour it is a good rule of thumb to have your eyebrows two shades darker than your hair. This adds youth and definition to the eye. Have your hairdresser tint them when she tints your hair. If your brows are grey and you can tint them yourself, Roux makes eyebrow and lash tint. It comes in two shades. I recommend the lighter one because it gets very dark. Follow the directions.
Lashes can be tinted as well. They make the eyes look beautiful without mascara. I would have this done by a professional. To keep your lashes looking luscious I like the Hotlash heated eyelash curler. Available at http://www.hotlashes.com/. Roux eyebrow and eyelash tint and Tweezelight available at beauty supply stores.
