Big Brows

If you could get your hands on a celeb’s eyebrows for an overhaul, who would it be?
"Celebs' brows are constantly changing, but Drew Barrymore's recent ad campaign for Covergirl mascara sees her sporting curvy, uneven arches. Ideally, she needs to grow them out so the beginning of her eyebrows are fuller and less round. This will be much more flattering for her face as too-curvy eyebrows can draw unwanted attention to upper eyelids and make them appear puffy."

What's your best eyebrow tip?
"When maintaining your eyebrows at home, I recommend tweezing the stray hairs at least once a week for grooming. A simple trick to guide you is to take a coloured eyeliner and draw an outline around your eyebrows, about half a centimetre wide. You can tweeze outside this line to keep your brows looking tidy between appointments, without going too close as to mess up the shape." 

What are your eyebrow kit essentials?
"Every womans' eyebrow kit should include: a brow brush/comb for brushing hairs into place,  slanted tweezers to clean up stray hairs between brow appointments, and a brow pencil or powder to lightly fill in the eyebrows and finish your look."

Wax or Tweeze?
"The best way to keep your eyebrows perfectly shaped is using a combination of both waxing and tweezing. Waxing cleans up the stray hairs and will give the brow a much cleaner line, however, tweezing will define the overall shape. When maintaining your brows at home, tweezing is your best option for accuracy and to prevent mistakes."

How can we achieve the full brow effect?
"Fuller-looking eyebrows can be easily achieved using brow pencils. Start at the beginning of your eyebrow and apply your pencil with light feathery strokes in the direction of the hairs. Continue throughout the entire brow, shading just above your natural brow line. This will create a barely-there shadow behind the hairs and create the illusion of a fuller brow."

Who should or shouldn't try this style?
"Every woman can benefit from having fuller, healthier looking eyebrows without the hassle of growing them any thicker. Learning to fill your eyebrows in will add definition to the shape, whilst keeping up with current trends. However, if your eyebrows have been over-plucked, leave them to grow out for at least 3-4 weeks before visiting an eyebrow professional, who will then guide you from there."
