Frame your eyes by grooming your brows. The brows can make or break your look. Today I’m sharing 3 steps to gain that gorgeous, groomed look along with my 3 reasons why you need to do this.
First: it will open up your eyes, giving them a lighter and brighter vibe.
Second: it will create a more polished part of your face, which presents itself for a cleaner canvas for your eye makeup.
Third: groomed brows instantly make you more approachable to others. You look put together.
And the best part? It’s only 3 steps.
This step is the easiest one. Know why? You’re not doing any of it. It’s all up to an esthetician who will determine your brow shape and wax/trim/tweeze away! Not any esthetician – find one with serious brow-grooming skills. Please promise me to do your homework on this step. Ask around, Google reviews and then make your appointment. If you live in Cleveland, I did all that grunt work for you! Jessica at Blue Mercury at Eton Chagrin Boulevard is the bomb diggity.
Here’s when you take over! Listen up. Grab a pen and paper. Do you know the no-fail way to fill in your brows? Do you know THE best products that upgrade your brow look and stay all day?
Tricks the pros do: Using an angled brush like this one HERE, start applying the brow shadow (top rated product HERE) in the MIDDLE of your brows. Yes. Genius. Then… after starting in the middle move that shadow with your brush to the end of your brows. Once there, pick up that brush and go back to the middle again to move and fill at the start of your brows. This evens it all out. Never start at the beginning of your brows and move your way down, as it will create a heavy and unnatural effect.
Almost done, but don’t forget to set these suckers in place. Using a quality brow wax (found the most coveted one HERE), gently apply over your brows. Done. Gorgeous. Ready.
Brow Boosters: Did y’all know that you could use THIS to help your brows grow? Works quickly and highly recommended by the pros! THIS product is always sold out (cult classic – #WhyDontYouMakeMore), but if you can get your hands on one buy it immediately!
My Recs: If you have a Blue Mercury close to you, hit them up first. Not only can you find highly-qualified estheticians here, but you can also shop for the products after you’ve been groomed. One stop shopping, ladies.
So simple to maintain some serious brows!
What is your trick to perfecting your brows?
Will you come over and do my brows for me. I have those big, thick Italian eyebrows and they need soooooooo much maintenance.
I dont dare to do them on my own. I always feel like I will end up making them so bad that I will then be unable to leave my house with crazy looking brows!
Great tips! I concur that you have to have a great person to do your brows, I searched high and low in my city to find the one that could do my brows. Now, I never go anywhere else.
I get my eyebrows and lip threaded; I run a mini eyebrow brush to tame any stray hairs and then use my real techniquesthin brush before putting black powder on my eyebrows and creating the shape that way. I love making my eyebrows look pretty.
So very true about finding the right person! I have had my fair share of different estheticians and a couple mishaps along the way. I’ve always had fuller eyebrows so that wax is a must! I’ll have to hunt that down!!!
I do work my eyebrows by myself. I never trust anyone to do work on my brows…lol..that’s the problem. I love the your tips that shows techniques on how to shape the brows. You have gorgeous eyes.
I get mine groomed and never touch them except to comb them in the morning. I like the idea of getting them to grow a bit though. They are quite sparse now as I head to middle age! ☺
I’ve been giving a lot of attention to my eyebrows lately because I know how much they can highlight your eyes and your whole look. These are some great tips for a wonderful look.
I use to have my eyebrows done every week but haven’t had it done in quite some time. I actually prefer the way they are naturally compared to when I use to have them done.
I tweeze my own brows, and fill them in with a brow pencil, usually. My favorite is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz!
ive never heard of Blue Mercury. I have to do my brows every morning…even if it’s a no makeup kinda day. I used to have super thick, lovely eyebrows, but from waxing and tweezers, they’re less full.
I have been tweezing and shaping my eyebrows since I was a teenager, but I don’t mind going to a professional every now and then. One of my favorite methods is threading, which is something I simply can’t do myself.
I used to get my eyebrows done by someone else… till they nearly got rid of one of my eyebrows. So important to check out who you get.
My brows are awful. I can’t do much with them but clean them up a little. I think it’s because they are kind of sparse.
I hate my eyebrows. I really would love if you could come over and do mine!
I just recently started using a brow wax – I never knew there was such a thing before I saw a YouTube video. I do need to find someone to wax my eyebrows though…that would be a lot better than doing it myself!
I don’t shape my own but everything else I do. I makes such a big difference because my eye brows are so light.
Great advice! I use to pluck the heck out of my brows. I’ve calmed down a bit with that though! Great tips, they will come in use!
YES! Brows are a must for a finished look. I usually use gel to fill in my brows along with an angled mini liner brush.
