Beaten Brows

Ok, lets talk brows. Never, never get your brows done where you get your nails done. I mean never. No excuses. Ever hear the saying that you get what you pay for? My Mom loves that one and with good reason. $10. brows are $10. brows. I don't care if you even like them or think they look good. The first thing people see is your face so good brows are worth the investment. Also, you should not be doing your own at home. You just should not for any reason. Trust me we can tell. I can spot a home grown or mani-brow a mile away.

If you don't know where to start or where to go then ask your hairstylist. A good stylist should be able to refer you to someone decent. You can also ask a makeup artist at one of the department stores if you happen to like their brows.

Now, do not fret if you've had the mishap of brows gone too thin by fads of previous years or an overzealous waxer. There is hope. Either regrow and reshape them with the aid of an expert or work with a makeup stylist on how to fill them in at home. Their are some really great brow kits out there. Check out The Brow Powder Duo by none other than Laura Mercier.

I also really love the Anastasia Brows in Bloom kit at Bliss. They advise using the kit to avoid "growing pains" as you regrow your brows.

I'm not anti-skinny brows because the fad is to go fuller. I just really feel they age you. Fuller brows are more youthful looking and I'm all for that. Not bushy mind you. Bushy means a bad stylist. And who needs that?
