Everyone loves to look at celebrity eyebrows hoping that they can achieve the same look. The question is how celebrities get their eyebrows to look so stunning? Besides the fact that they get their eyebrows arched regularly almost on a daily basis they have wonderful makeup artists who know how to fill in sparse spaces of the eyebrow correctly.
Its okay to fill in your eyebrows, according to most makeup artists almost every woman needs to fill in her brows as part of her beauty routine. One makeup artist claims that every model, every actress he works with has her eyebrows filled in. the reasons being women don’t have eyebrows like men. Women are born with sparse eyebrows with far less hair than men’s, why because men are naturally hairier. Most women also have a tendency to over tweeze their eyebrows in the process of shaping them. (Refer to my how to tweeze the proper way for more tweezing tips)
The best way to fill in eyebrows
1.First things first pick out a pencil and powder shade. In order to create perfect eyebrows you need to best supplies, this includes an angled brush, pencil, powder, and a clean mascara brush. Always use a pencil with a soft lead otherwise your eyebrows can look harsh and unnatural. Pick a color that is a shade lighter you’re your brows and a powder that matches your eyebrow hair. If you find you eyebrows are really fair go with a shade darker than your hair for your pencil. Need supplies click here this store has the best eyebrow enhancers know to man. Because pencils and powders stick to the skin and not the hair you will want to shade in the skin where the hair should be.
2.Always make sure you face is clean and your eyebrows are nicely tweezed before filling them in. if they aren’t tweezed your may end up filling in hairs that need to be plucked and your eyebrows can look messy. By using the mascara want comb out your brows and look for the sparse spots that need to be filled.
3.Next grab your pencil and fill in the sparse hairs using a soft feathery stroking motion with your hand. Remember less is more. Make sure that you apply the strokes in the direction your hair grows. You want to create the appearance of hair not definite lines, so don’t pencil in the whole brow because you want your eyebrows to look natural.
4.Then you want to use your brow powder, simply dip the angle brush in the powder and brush it along the brows. It will stick to the pencil so that you can blend the colors perfectly. If you want to be sure your powder will stick you can wet the brush a little before putting it in the powder.
5.Two colors are always better than one when it comes to filling in the brow. Why because it looks more natural and examine your eyebrow… do you have one color of you hair on your natural brow? You can use a lighter powder where the brows are the thickest and a darker one for the tail ends.
Other Eyebrow Advice
1.Rogaine can actually help your eyebrows grow faster, so if you’re concerned that you tweezed too much buy some Rogaine. You can purchase the men’s or the women’s.
2.Make sure you eyebrows are shaped by a pro at least every four weeks, you can do some clean ups in-between with a tweezers.
3.eyebrows can take a few months up to a couple of years for hair to grow back if you’ve over tweezed so always take your time and watch what you’re doing.

HOW TO TWEEZE THE PROPER WAY
Posted by fashiondevo on July 15, 2007
1. The first step is making sure you skin is clean before you begin. You can also numb the pain by either rubbing an ice cube over you brow area for a minute or so before you begin. Or by taking pain killers to lesson the pain. Make sure that your tweezers are also clean for a better arch.
2. With tweezing you have to be very careful, many women can over tweeze and that can result to very many weeks with spare eyebrow hair missing. Sometimes it can take months till a year for your hair to grow back properly. Always remember when you’re doing the space between your bros that it should be equal or a little wider than your eyes. If you want to find the space use a eye shadow brush and hold it parallel to the side of your nose. The brush should meet your brows, and that is where the brow should start. If you’re looking for the end of your brow take the brush and move it diagonally from your nose. Follow the outside edge of your eye toward your brow. When the inside edge of the brush hits is where you brow should end.
2. Always follow your natural arch of your brow. No two people have exactly the same arch of eyebrows so don’t use celebrity photos to try and get their arch. You have to find your own arch to bring out the best in your appearance. To find your arch take the brush and hold it parallel to the outside edges of your iris. Where the brush meets the brow is the highest part of where your brow should be.
3. Try to go in a room where the light can shine in through a window so that you can see all of your eyebrow hair. The bathroom is one of the best places because you can also use the mirror. If you want you can also try a magnifying mirror (you might want to tweeze a few times first because some people can over tweeze with magnifying mirrors.)
4. When you’re plucking the hairs always go in the direction in which the hair grows. Do your best to grab as little hair at a time as you can. Grabbing to much can lead to an over plucked look. To make things easier use your hand to hold the skin as you go.
5. Don’t be afraid to tweeze above your brow. In order to have a smooth clean look you need to tweeze both the top and bottom of the brow, but remember less is more. Go slowing as you tweeze. If you’re in a rush pick a better time for tweezing your brows.
6. Look at your brow as you go along. You might want to pull always from the tweezers a couple of times to really see what’s going on with your brow. Most over tweezers keep going and going and when they’re done they are surprise that their brows are butchered.
7. When you are done and happy with your brows you can use some Sally Hansen’s pads or Aloe Vera gel to calm the redness in your skin.
Eyebrow Secrets
1.You can use brow gel to keep them in place all day or hairspray.
2.The best time to tweeze your bros is a week after your period has started; you’re less prone to pain.
3.you can fill in spare hair with brow powder or pencil ( the how to’s will be in next week blog)

Eyebrow Shaping Techniques
Posted by fashiondevo on July 15, 2007
When it comes to your eyebrows you want them to always look their best. Eyebrows play a major role in the shaping and appearance of how attractive your face can look. So the better your eyebrows are shaped that better your appearance will be. Everyone has their own methods of shaping their eyebrows, you can choose from threading,( which you can find at your local mall) waxing, tweezed, and just using an old fashion razor.
If you haven’t had your eyebrows groomed in a while or if this is your first time, my best suggestion is don’t do it on your own. Most women don’t have a clue of how to take care of their eyebrows so leave it to the professionals. Once a pro shows you some techniques and lays down a shape of your brow you can keep them in shape with tweezers. ( refer to my tweezing guide for more tips)
The best method you can use is that one that you think will be best suited for you. Threading is an excellent choice for beginners but if your skin is sensitive you might want to try either waxing or tweezing. Although out of all of the choices threading seems to last the longest usually about 2 to 3 weeks depending on how fast they can grow back. Also with treading if you have any unwanted facial hair you can get that done as well. If you’re worried about money none of these procedures should cost more than 20 dollars depending on where you live.
