It always amazes me how the smallest details on the face, when slightly altered, modified, or enhanced, can completely change the look and feel of a person. Eyebrows are (not so small) details women should not overlook. Eyebrows frame your face and give it structure. Your eyebrows are everything.
I am perpetually on the hunt for the proper tools and products, in the hopes that I will have thick and full brows, yet keep it simplistic. Billion Dollar Brows sent me one of their brow kits: ‘60 Seconds To Beautiful Brows Kit‘ ($24) and I’m pumped to try i tout.
As much as I’d love to have killer brows, I don’t want to spend anymore time in front of the mirror than I have to before rushing out the door in the morning. The kit includes brow powder and a brow brush — simple! And as promised, you’re able to incorporate it into your makeup routine in under 60 seconds.
I don’t know about you, but celebrities like Cara Delevingne, Brooke Shields, Keira Knightley, and Jennifer Connelly leave me with serious brow envy, so I’m excited that I was able to get my hands on a kit to help improve my brows. It’s now part of my everyday makeup routine.
Basic Steps for Perfect Brows:
- Regular maintenance, such as waxing or tweezing
- Hair-like strokes, regardless of whether you use a pencil, an angled brush topped with brow powder, or a brow mascara
- Use a spoolie brush to brush out any extra pigment
Tweezing Tips:
- The front of the brow should align with the upper bridge of your nose
- Lay the tweezer on an angle against your cheek so that the open end is at the bottom of your nose and the other end reaches the outer corner of your eye. The spot where the tweezer intersects your brow is where the hairs should end. Mark it with the eye pencil, then pluck the hairs beyond the line.
- The arch should peak above the outer rim of your iris and lie right on your brow bone
- Trim excess hairs. Comb hairs at an upward angle. If any hairs are noticeably longer, snip snip!
