Enhancing your Look!!!

Have you been wondering how you can enhance your look? First start with your brows, having full, even shaped, lengthy brows can take your look a long way. When receiving a brow treatment(waxing, threading, or tweezing) make sure your brows are grown in enough for shaping. Just because you have stray hairs does not mean it is time for a full brow shaping. Consider cleaning them up(tweezing in between treatments). Brow shaping should be done every three to four weeks, this keeps the brow growth healthy and it keeps you from having spaces in between your brows. Another trick to having great looking brows is to use brow powder along with a pencil. The pencil alone makes the brows look un-natural. Using both will enhance your shape and it makes your brows stand out. Also if you do not have time to fill the brows daily, you can consider getting your brows tinted. The tint will last for about a month and when it is time for your full brow shaping, you can tint them again. The tint color should be only about 1-2 shades darker than your hair. The color doesnt have to necessarily match your hair color(if your hair is red, your brows do not have to be red). Another thing to remember is that your brows start at the beginning of your tear duct, the arch is in the middle of your brow bone and the end of your brows should stop at the end of your eye. Do not take off too much hair from the beginning or end of your brows. Doing so will make your forehead look wider and it shortens your brows. Conditioning your brows with an herbal brow gel is essential for healthy, shiny brows and it helps to tame the brows of strays during the growth period.
