Let your eyes speak!

Eyes, no, doubt, does a lot of speaking even if you do not speak verbally. Eyebrows, on the other hand, add strength and provide more definition to your face. Eyebrows which are groomed properly do enhance your beauty. Beautiful eyebrows make the facial structure more prominent. To have beautiful eyebrows, you should pluck your eyebrows just before you go to bed such that the redness tends to disappear during the sleeping hours of the night. Make sure that you know your facial features well to have beautiful eyebrows.

Tips for having beautiful eyebrows

  • A pair of slant edged tweezers should be used such that the hairs can be gripped easily. Comb your hair in a manner in one direction and then in the opposite direction to let go of the loose hairs.
  • The hairs should be plucked between the brow area as well. Never try to remove the hairs from the area just above your eyebrows.
  • Each hair should be plucked individually that appears close to the roots. Work in a manner which goes in the same direction as the hair growth.
  • Do not over pluck. To define the eyebrows, use a color which is same as that of your natural hair colour.
  • Apply the brow pencil with small, feathered strokes. Starting from inside, you should work outwards while defining the eyebrows.
  • Blend the colour with a brush. To tame stray hairs just use hair gel and comb through to neaten.

To get beautiful eyebrows is one important makeup trick that one should know from the onset. There are many women who tend to overlook the beauty of their eyebrows, or there are others who over-pluck them, making it worse.

Which is the best Eyebrow color?
Either an eyebrow pencil or an eyebrow powder can be used to have definitive beautiful eyebrows. The process of applying the eyebrow powder goes like this – apply it with an eyebrow brush, dust it through the eyebrows and make sure you do not let it spread on the surrounding skin area. In a way, this is bound to give you a natural matte finish but requires a little blending properly. As we discussed, the alternate tool to define the eyebrows is the well-sharpened eyebrow pencil. Try to put on an effect which is natural and avoid a fake look.

Quick tips for beautiful eyebrows –
One should remain careful about two things – the distance between the eyebrows and the length of the eyebrows.

  • Always pluck your eyebrows in between, avoiding plucking them from above.
  • Visit a professional, if you are plucking your eyebrows for the first time.
  • If the top area looks messy, wax it off.
  • Keep it simple and clean always!

For those defining arches of eyebrows

Eyebrows are perhaps the most distinct feature on your face. The curve of your brows defines your eyes. It is said that you can easily dump makeup ans sport a natural look with a perfectly shaped eyebrow. Your eyebrows must be shaped according to your facial features.

Celeb secret

According to Irish makeup artist Donna Fitzpatrick, Catherine Zeta Jones has the best set of eyebrows in entire Hollywood. She confesses that Jones is a natural beauty, but an enhanced eyebrow gives her a polished and unique look. Her looks in the movie “The Darling Buds of May” was a result of grooming her facial contour. She has been neatening for quite long and thus possesses the best eyebrows to die for.

Fitzpatrick recommends proper tweezing to achieve a natural yet groomed look rather than waxing or threading. The tweezers help to produce a better effect and finish. To get a drop-dead-gorgeous eyebrow shape keep the first half of the brows full and taper at the end. The curve of the brow should be right above the pupil. To maintain the shape, brush your brows upwards and remove any extra growth.

Vintage Hollywood eyebrows to die for

Hollywood had a store of beautiful women sporting a pair of brilliant eyebrows. Recorded hit were the eyebrows of Jean Harlow, Clara Bow, Carol Lombard, Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo, Julie Newmar, Dolores Costello, Bette Davis and others.

Silent films saw women with slightly plucked hair whereas the Flapper age, which witnessed huge social upheaval, witnessed thinly plucked eyebrow with razor shaped looks. They turned into Baroque loops or sometimes anorexic gashes. In many instances, the studio styling artists kept shaving the eyebrows of vulnerable new talent in the industry to keep them in business.
