These women look expensive. The bold brow is groomed so that there is a beautiful space of clear skin between the eyes. The hairs are swept back and they are most definitely penciled. The pearlescent gray tones make their eyes seem sharp and luminescent. Bold brows in Chinese face reading indicate a strong personality and willfulness. These are the eyes of a woman who knows what she wants.
There are professionals who can help you achieve a strong brow. The esthetician needs to clear the space between your brows with wax, otherwise it will not look clean. A bit above the tops of the eyebrows do need to be groomed with wax, and as you can see the women here have clearly defined temples, there are no stray hairs there. The underneath should be mildly groomed. If you want an arch and don't have one this look is not for you. You need to accept your brow shape and accentuate it. It will not work to have a natural brow and then try to pluck a little arch into it. If you want an arch later you can achieve it with pencil. The trick to grooming the brows without thinning them is self-restraint. Start with your tweezer against your nose and get only the hairs closest to your eyelid as you move outward along the bottom of the brow bone.
The best brow makeup 100% without a doubt goes to Anastasia of Beverly Hills. Holy Lord. She has a color called Ultimate brown-- best brown color pencil ever. Plus, on the end of the pencil is the stiffest little mascara wand to brush your brows up and back and to blend the color (Anastasia Perfect Brow Pencil). Anastasia also has a waxy clear pencil that you use over to keep them in place (Anastasia Brow Fix Wax). it's like pomade for your brows-- it's not a weird shiny gel that'll make you look like you were just born, or worse, flake off-- it's a matte natural hold. I've tried many different brow gels, powders and pencils, save yourself the time and effort and money.
The next element in this look is clear bright skin. notice that there is a glow on the skin. Dewy skin is not oily skin. Dewey skin requires a light foundation like Benefit's You Rebel and also a light dusting of super fine micro powder such as Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil. A flesh colored pinked lip is acheived with Fresh's Sugar Lip Treatment. I use the Sugar Plum color and my lips look as fresh and healthy and lineless as a 3 year old. I may be the only woman in America that hates lip gloss-- sticky, messy, tastes terrible, gets on my teeth, needs constant attention and reapplication. I hate it.
For the final touch blush is important. In the next post we will explore blush colors that make your skin look it's healthiest. Until then Beautiful Star.
