Eyebrows 101

Bold Brows
Eyebrows are something many people forget about when they're doing their makeup, but they're so important! They frame the face, draw attention to the eyes, and play a role in facial recognition. It makes a huge difference to the overall appearance of your face when you fill them in and shape them. 

If you're interested in shaping your brows and cleaning them up, but you've never done anything to them before, I wouldn't recommend tweezing. 
It takes too long if you have a lot of hairs to get rid of, and you could end up going a little tweeze-happy and getting rid of a chunk of your brow.

Getting them professionally waxed is probably the better option, but make sure the salon you go to is hygienic and uses new wax applicators for each customer. You don't want to have your eyebrows waxed with a utensil that was previously used for a bikini wax... ew.

Waxed, tweezed, or just left natural, go ahead and fill in your brows with a light-colored matte powder and finish off with your choice of a clear or tinted brow mascara or gel.

Here's a link to Maskcara's Brow School series. Make sure to read all of the posts, they're very informational and she includes before and afters of people with their eyebrows done. You can really see the difference!
