We asked her how to raise an eyebrow, beautifully. Should we follow eyebrow trends? If so what is in store for 2017/18? It’s nice to appreciate trends, but we prefer to shape a client’s brows based on considering face and eye shape as well as hair and skin tones. Generally, a thicker brow is a softer look and less ageing than a thin brow. Waxing or tweezing, or a combo of both? Wax to remove the fluff, and tweezing for perfecting angles. What’s the most common mistake women make with their brows? Over-plucking or over applying the wrong colour product. What are the essential tools for beautiful brows? A good quality brush for applying brow powder and a tweezer that works. Is there a formula as to where the brow starts and finishes? Yes, grab a brush to use as a marker. For the start point, hold the brush from the bridge of the nose pointing straight up to the hairline. Where it crosses over with the browline, use a pencil to mark a dot here. For the tails, hold the brush from the base of the nose out towards the temple. Mark a dot that lines up with where the brow line should reach. A little bit of extra length will help widen the eyes and open them up.
