Can YOU tell why Cathryn looks more youthful in the photo on the right?

... it’s all about the eyebrows and here an expert teaches you how to do the same tricks at home

LOOK closely at the pictures of the woman on the right. Can you tell what’s different about her ‘after’ picture? Cathryn has the same blow-dry and make-up in both photos. Yet she looks younger and more polished in the second. The secret? Her eyebrows, which have been whipped into shape by brow expert and makeup artist Jenna Treat, ambassador for Blink Brow Bar. And what a difference it makes.

In Ireland, we spend millions of euro a year honing our arches. Women of all ages are realising just how transformative well-shaped brows can be, softening the features and even making a face look younger and slimmer.

‘From model Cara Delevingne’s “beetle” brows to Kate Middleton’s elegant look, eyebrows are now under as much scrutiny as a new haircut,’ says Jenna. Brow specialist Kamini Vaghela adds: ‘Bad brows affect how you look and feel. If a woman has a round face, I make the arch sharper; if it’s angular, I make the curve softer. The key is to keep it as thick as possible using their natural brow.’

Whether yours are over-plucked, too full or the wrong shade, you can fix them yourself. Here, Jenna transforms five women’s brows to show you how.
