Youthful Beautiful Eyebrows
Your EYEBROWS! No, I’m not being picky! Many women have very nice eyebrows…but
for the ones that can’t get it right, this will help.
Eyebrows can give your face an older, harder look, or they can give a younger,
softer, beautiful look that acts as a frame for your shape and type of eyes.
Eyebrows can also make your eyes appear smaller or larger.
I have observed in my travels that American women seem to have more difficulty
with proper eyebrow shape and color than women of other countries. I’m
not sure why except, perhaps, some women have become more focused on the eyebrows
per se, rather than how they can be most flattering to the shape of their individual
eyes and face.
Eyebrows are modifiers…they are eye beautifiers. They exist to complement
and enhance one of the most expressive of human attributes, the look of the
eyes. They should not overpower the face in general or draw attention to themselves.
They should flatter the face but at the same time enhance the shape of the
eyes. Have you ever seen someone with brown hair and, before you noticed anything
else about them, you saw two black “lines” above their eyes (called
eyebrows)? Well I have, and I’ve seen worse “eyebrows” than
that, as well.
Observe some classic paintings by the Masters, like Rembrandt, Renoir, da
Vinci and Rubens. Note how these great painters treated the eyebrows of the
women in their art in understatement and accompaniment.
Just keep in mind that the basic rule is to use your eyebrows to beautify
your eyes. Beauty-wise your eyebrows are part of your eyes. Eyebrows should
be delicate and soft looking, not overpowering and distracting.
Here’s How To Check Yours
To make your eyes appear larger and more open don’t have them “sitting” low
toward your eyes. Instead, keep sufficient space between your eyes and your
eyebrows by plucking clean from underneath the brows. But don’t pluck
too much so as to make them too thin. If you have bushy eyebrows, then you
might need to trim the tops to keep the length short and to make them less
thick.
The shape of your eyebrows should be in a slight arch, wider toward your nose
and thinning toward the temples. The peak of the arch should generally be about ¾ of
the distance of the width of your eye toward the temple. The length of the
brow is determined by the width of your eyes. Begin your eyebrows about where
your eyes begin inside your nose and end them just beyond where your eyes end
toward your temples.
If you have small eyes, do not wear thick eyebrows. They’ll cause your
eyes to look smaller. Thinner brows will allow smaller eyes to appear larger.
(But don’t overdo it.)
If you feel your eyes are spaced too close to each other, create a slightly
larger space between your eyebrows than you normally would. Not too great a
space, just enough to give a more open look.
As for color, choose an eyebrow pencil that somewhat matches your hair color,
but never use black, even if your hair is black. Use dark brown for black or
brunette, lighter brown for brownette, auburn or brown for red hair, light
brown or dark blond for blonds. Tip: A gold pencil can be used, lightly and
sparsely, as a highlight with red and blond hair. It creates a soft yet exciting
look. Always keep your eyebrow pencils sharp for a more natural look.
In applying eyebrow pencil, use short, light, upward, quick strokes for each “hair,” allowing
them to blend together. Never draw the pencil through the whole eyebrow in
one stroke. (Use an upward/outward motion) Keep your eyebrows as natural looking
as possible.
Final and very important step: Once eyebrows are completed, powder over them
very lightly against the direction of the hair. This will give them a softer,
more natural look. Then, with two fingers, brush upward toward the forehead
to remove excess powder and restore the hair to its natural position. You could
buy an eyebrow brush for this purpose, but your fingers are just as good—and
faster.
