Put down the tweezers and back away slowly.
No but really, I’ve found the secret to great brows, and it
rarely involves tweezing, threading, waxing or plucking. When I watch
professional makeup artists’ tutorials, I always hear the words beautiful and
gorgeous with the words full and thick when it comes to brows. I never, NEVER
hear beautiful, thin, sculpted brows.. ever. In fact, thin, overly plucked
eyebrows can add years on your face and can completely fail at their number one
job: to frame your eyes and face.
I’ve spent well over a decade in front of a mirror for
waaaay too much time, plucking here, plucking there.. plucking more and more
and more. I had to tweeze my brows at least once a week because I was plucking
way too much of my natural brows.
After becoming obsessed with Lisa Eldridge (www.lisaeldridge.com, well worth your
time!), and hearing of her years of campaigning to put down the tweezers, I
finally grew my brows out.
And thank. the. lord.
Oh my goodness, what a difference. Not only did I let them
grow free, I also started using an eyelash serum (Boots No. 7 Fanomenal Lash Serum)
not only on my lashes, but also on my brows. And wow, did it work miracles.
I pluck an eyebrow hair here and there, only the ones that
are dark and far far away from my natural brow shape. But, if you are growing out your
brows, I suggest you do your best to not pluck at first. I never realized my
natural brow shape, because I never allowed them to grow in. Do not, DO NOT
touch your eyebrow hairs underneath your brows for at least a couple weeks.
It’s okay to touch up here and there afterwards, but allow yourself to wait and
see what shape you are working with first. Trust me, you will like the
difference. And if you don’t, watch every tutorial Lisa Eldridge has on
eyebrows!
I see way too many thin brows these days; on girls that I
imagine have amazing eyebrow potential. So what about you, are you ready to
find out that you can have beautiful, thick, coveted brows?
Overplucked Full and lovely!
