They’re here to stay!

LADIES, the "big brow" trend isn't going anywhere fast, so if you are considering growing out your brows now is the time!

Here is my guide to getting big beautiful brows, and all the cheats...

1. Treat your Brows like you Treat your Hair.

How can you expect to have full healthy brows if you you don't treat them with care? Condition your eyebrows with a good quality brow conditioning product.

Your brow technician will leave the hairs in place that are needed to thicken up brows, and merely tidy up the brow and re-shape as necessary. It may take a couple of visits before they are at their best.

Book in with an experienced brow expert, such as me ;-) and have your brows professionally shaped and tidied, and tinted if necessary.

Splurge: HD Brows (a brand in itself - see HD Brow website)

Saver: A good quality Eyebrow Tint & Shape & Tidy. Don’t chance it with your brows – go to somebody experienced with a good reputation for brows.

Keep your brows well groomed, and hold in place with a brow gel by combing through and shaping, or use hairspray sprayed directly onto a clean mascara wand and brushed through brows- cheap and cheerful!

Use brow pencil, or a powder in the correct colour. Blend in by brushing through gently with a brow brush. 5. Highlight the brow bone Do this discreetly, nothing shimmery or shiny. Use a light creamy textured brow highlighter such as Benefit High Brow (or a light coloured concealer) to highlight the brow bone and give a great brow shape, also giving coverage to small hairs while growing out the brows.
