Beauty 101: How I Grew Out My Eyebrows

Before 

After

Like many other girls around the world, I struggled to keep a "strong brow game". My eyebrows endured about 4 years of waxing, brow shape changing, and, of course, over tweezing on my behalf. However, 6 months ago my brow maintenance had to change after my eyebrow were waxed off ultra thin a week before prom! Since that day, I hid my brow tweezers and scissors from myself (Yes, I endured the tiny, stubbly new growth!). For 2-3 months, I relied only on brushing my eyebrows and utilizing brow pencils to perfect the shape. By month 3, I used tweezers to remove hairs that were obviously outside of my natural brow shape. Through removing the out of place hairs, my brows started to form a natural arch, perfecting my brow game. Now, 6 months later, I leave the tweezers alone for at least 3 weeks before removing any out of place hairs.

Quick Tips!

1. Hide tweezers, eyebrow scissors, and wax! Your growing your eyebrows out, not removing them.
2. Brush your eyebrows with an eyebrow brush to keep them neat. 
3. When tweezing, only tweeze hairs outside of the natural brow shape.
4. Place conditioners on your eyebrows to promote growth. 
5. Don't fantasize over everyone else's eyebrows! An eyebrow shape frames an individual's face, so an eyebrow shape is unique to every person.

Beauty 101: Tame the Brows

Eyebrows can make or break your look, but your individual brow shape depends on your face. However, you don't need to wax and thread your brows everyday, unless you're desiring sparse brows. The key things to keep your brows looking good include tweezers to take away out of place hairs, an eyebrow brush to put brows in their place, and brow gel to keep the brows in place all day. You may also want to try out a brow pencil or brow powder to fill in you brows and make them more defined.

Brows frame your face and can be the decider of your everyday expression. If your brows are too low you may give off a sad look and too high may have you seeming very surprised. Lately I have been obsessed with keeping my brows natural with a natural arch and filling them in a bit for extra definition. However, maintaining eyebrows in general can be considered a pain, one wrong pluck or too much brow powder can be a total disaster! Keep reading to learn the ultimate tips for brows.

• Mirror! Of course you need a mirror when you're applying any type of make-up, but especially when dealing with your brows. You're going to want to invest in a magnifying mirror so you can see each individual hair up close whenever you're plucking or waxing your brows. 
• Shape! I recommend sticking with your own brow shape since it naturally fits you, but if you want to change it up be sure to use good judgement based on your eyes and nose shape.
• Eyebrow Brush and Comb! Whenever you're putting on your make-up or just shaping up your brows, make sure you comb them out. It's similar to brushing your hair before styling, but for your brows.
• Eyebrow pencil and shadow! Pencil and shadow is the best way to fill in sparse areas of your brows. While using a pencil use short strokes that mimic real eyebrow hairs and an angled brush when using shadow in the same way.Brush out your brows after using pencil and/or shadow and never use long harsh lines.
•  Brow Gel! Finish off your brows by using brow gel to keep your brows in place all day long. You can also use a tiny bit of Vaseline as an alternative.

1. Begin by brushing out your brows into their natural arch.
2. Take a small make-up brush along with an eyeshadow that is similar to your hair color.

Eyebrow Grooming Tips and Tricks

1. Brush your eyebrows daily to keep them looking nice and groomed.
2. When getting your eyebrows arched make sure to say exactly how thin/thick you want your brows to be.
3. Don't go tweezer crazy! Only pluck stray hairs and be careful not to pluck the wrong hair.
4. Trim long eyebrow hairs if they are not the same length as other hairs.
5. Fill in sparse areas with a little eyeshadow or by marking short lines with an eyebrow line.
6. About once every 2 months let your eyebrows just grow. Don't pluck, wax, or trim for about a week so they can have time to thicken back up.
