BROW SHAPING 101

plucking

Strong, full brows are infinitely more flattering than overplucked ones. If you’ve overdone it but don’t have any bare patches, brow powder can enhance their shape, says brow expert Anastasia Soare. Take a stiff, slanted powder brush and use small, feathery strokes over the length of your brows. If your brows are really sparse, first fill them in with a pencil “so the powder has something to grab on to,” says Soare. The powder and pencil should match or be slightly lighter than your brow color (unless you have very fair blonde hair; then go one shade darker). Brush through your brows afterward with a clean mascara brush to lift away any excess product.

When it comes to brow shaping the fuller the better. Celebrity beauty expert and RAMY Cosmetics founder Ramy Gafni says “If your brows are too thin, you may inadvertently create an expression you don’t intend to,” Gafni tells People Mag.”Mis-shaped brows can make you look sorry, angry, indifferent or perplexed.” Gafni advises to take a break from plucking if brows are getting too thin. “Do not touch a single stray for at least two months,” Ramy says. You can speed up the process with a growth-enhancing product like Eye Grow Brows.

My MOST FAVORITE product would definitely have to be TRUCCO Hi Brow Trio. This brings brow art to a new level. Ive been using it for years and would never go with anything else. Make sure you have them professionally waxed ($15 come see me!) and hair stoking with the brush is IMPERATIVE! No excuses ladies brows make your face.

Tease Tastefully

I will be the first to admit I am sickly obsessed with BIG HAIR. Beehives, french twist, high rise pony tails, and bouffants. Fat hair is my weakness. And its no surprise that the 80’s has not only inspired fashion today but hair as well. Before I go on I would just like to say that I’m writing this so we can all be aware of what the world is seeing.  So here’s a little lesson on hair teasing/back combing in order to give limp, flat hair a boost. I am noticing that some of you are going a tad over board and perhaps not even taking a look in the mirror at the back once you’re “finished” styling. Lets get through this step by step:

1. Shampoo and condition your hair. It is good to use a clarifying shampoo once a week to remove build up and residue.  Then apply a mousse or volumizing gel and comb through.

 

2. Blowdry your hair in sections, lifting the round brush at scalp and overdirectiong. This creates volume at the root.

3. Take a 1 inch thick section at the top of the head and with rat tail comb begin to push comb down close to scalp, pull out and repeat till you work your way to the ends. Focus on keeping comb close to the base of head.

4. Take finishing brush and gently smooth over top layers gently without combing out the teasing.

5. Spray and lock in style with a firm hold hair spray.

 

The secret is step 4. Smoothing over the back combing. If you don’t do this you will be walking around with a birds nest on top of your head. Dont be the victim.

I have found my best friend in smoothing after back combing to be: Aquage Finishing Brush $22 @ Ulta

 Half natural boar bristles to give shine and half  plastic to smooth out.

 

We all can have vulptious hair, teased up and still be  sexy. Once you’ve teased the hair you have now created a base and the possibilities in different styles are endless. You can wear down  with tons of volume. Or lift, pin up and poof out in minutes. Just remember, SMOOTH, SMOOTH, SMOOTH!
