Blogging about Brows

Hey Ladies! Ever wonder how you can get flawless brows like Kim Kardashian? 







Eyebrows have the capability to enhance a face if they are done correctly. I researched some brow how-to's and stumbled upon a book by Carmindy titled, Crazy Busy Beautiful: Beauty Secrets for Getting Gorgeous Fast!. The book has some great beauty tips for getting ready fast and still looking gorgeous. Here are a few tips I picked up from Carmindy...




Step 1: Before you start plucking away, make sure to brush brows with a spooly (mascara style brush) or eyebrow brush. Brush the eyebrows upwards and trim any long hairs with a small eyebrow scissor. 


Step 2: Next, Carmindy suggests on using a white eyeliner pencil to draw the desired shape of your brow as a guideline. Make sure you choose a brow shape that fits your face! Using the white pencil makes it easier to see your outline. Carefully tweeze around your guideline. 


Step 3: Now to fill your brows in. For this step, it is important to pick the right color pencil. If you are blonde, use a pencil to match your darkest hairs to add definition. If you are brunette, choose a color one shade lighter than your hair color to give a softer look. For redheads, use a sable color.

Step 4: After you fill in your brows, give them a little extra definition and shine with brow gel. A small dab of Vaseline will also work. If you want the fuller look like Kim, brush the inner corner of your brows straight up before applying the gel.

*It is also recommended to pluck after hot showers when the skin on the face is less sensitive and to pull skin taut to make plucking the hairs easier and painless




My go-to pair of tweezers is the Slant Tweezer by Tweezerman. These tweezers are great because they are very precise, grabbing the hair right at the root and never pinch your skin! A great investment to get your brows in tip-top shape. xox
