All about Brows

One trend that is currently really in, is really thick defined brows. To be honest thank god thin brows are over, they made everybody look horrible and the pain wasn’t worth it. If your eyes are the window to your soul, eyebrows are the frame to your complete look. Think about the best makeup in the world on bushy undefined brows and you will get the whole image. The following are tips on how to get the browtistic look you deserve.

Grooming
There is a debate between threading, tweezing, shaving and waxing, however in the Middle East threading and tweezing always win.
Threading and tweezing is great to get the exact shape you want, as you are dealing with every single hair at a time. You need to pull the skin in order to thread the hairs out, in order to avoid pain and scars. Even though it’s painful, it usually take 10 days or a week for your eyebrows to grow out unwanted hair.
 Waxing your eye brows believe it or not, will actually give you wrinkles. The skin all around your eyes is so sensitive, the pulling of wax will lead to deformation of elasticity in your skin resulting in wrinkles. I never understood why it is very popular in the west.
 Shaving your brows can lead to injuries, if the razor is not used by a professional. It’s known that any hair being shaved will grow thicker, faster and darker, therefore shaving your brows can be a good idea if you are trying to grow them out. It’s very painless and a real time saver, if done professionally of course.
Growth
When it comes to brow hairs you thinking of width rather than length. You want to grow your brows to be parallel with the corners of your eyes, however you don’t want to grow a uni-brow. The hairs of your brows should be brushed up and trimmed with a little pair of scissors, in order to avoid fall outs.
If you want healthy strong hairs to grow on your eyebrows, you should do a mask on them. Yes you heard right, a simple mask can get you your dream brows. Use a mix of castor and olive oil on your brows every night. Just brush your brows with this mixture without wiping them away.
Shaping
Most of us Arabs have perfectly good thick brows, as we tend to be more hairy than Europeans and Americans. Less hairy people will need to create the illusion of thicker brows with eye pencils or eyebrows. If you are of these girls, use a brown pencil or shadow so they can look natural.
Brow gel is perfect for everybody, basically it holds all your brow hairs together for a long time. You don’t have to worry about brows looking messy or shaggy as long as you have gel on them. These little things come in a packaging similar to mascara, either tinted or clear. If you have darker brows to begin with, use the clear brow gel just to hold them together. If you have light hair, use the tinted one as a double weapon giving you illusion of brows and holding these hair together.
