Eyebrows frame the face, so what's your frame look like?

Hello and Happy Monday! It's back to school, the kids are off to their new lives in a new grade and you are in a position to learn something new for yourself.

The eyebrow is so important to your daily makeup routine and if you haven't been shaping and coloring them, now is the time to start.

Grooming comes first, such as having them professional shaped by threading, tweezing or waxing.

The threading is the most amazing, accurate and least painful way to have your brows tamed and shaped.

Tweezing is my favorite and can be over done. If you do over do it, then get some Talika Lipocil to grow them back. It really does work!

Waxing, I personally won't go near, but I hear that it's worth the pain, burning, redness and bumps because of the super clean line that it creates. This should really be done by a professional who specializes in waxing.

The brow needs to be filled in and shaped with a brow wax or powder. Wax comes in a couple of great brands such as Ben Nye for the stage, Lorac or Arbonne for the everyday wearer.

I prefer to do my daily brow shaping with a slant tip brush ( I'm currently using Adesign) and a Sue Devitt matte brown eyeshadow.

The technique is to load the brush, tap off the extra, then start in the middle of the eyebrow where the arch is, and work towards your hairline in short, crisp hair creating strokes.

Now go to the eyebrow closest to the nose, and work your way in the same hair creating stroke of short, crisp movements of the brush and draw from the nose area to the center of the arch where you first started.

Step back, assess your work, and run the brush over the entire brow to smooth it down. If you want to set the brow and powder with a clear mascara, that's an option for you.

I don't recommend a brow pencil because the oil based pencil when drawn onto your eyebrow hair which has an oil based follicle, means they rub off and then you look like your bald or have forgotten to put them on.

It takes a few tries to master the shaping and drawing on of your eyebrows though it's worth the effort because of how it frames your eyes, enhances your overall appearance and confidence.

So why not start today! If you need a kit or a set of stencils, try Anastasia, it can be found at Sephora and Ulta.
