Get Your Brows into Tip Top Shape

As we all know eyebrows can dramatically change your look and enhance your appearance when shaped correctly. Ideally it is best to have your brows professionally shaped. But on a daily basis your brows need to be kept up in between waxing and shaping sessions. The best way to do this is with a brow kit. There are plenty of brow kits out there. Our favorite kits include some kind of gel or shaping wax, a highlighter, and also a powder or pencil to fill in the shape.

The Smokin’ Eyes kit from Benefit ($36 at Ulta) includes everything you need to get dramatic sultry smoky eyes in addition to fabulous brows. It contains three eye shadows as well as a liner, brow shaping wax, mini tweezers and an angled/fluffy brush. I love the compact that this set comes in – small enough to keep me organized and it will fit in my slimmest clutch handbag. From the eyebrow guru herself, Anastasia’s mini brow kit includes a sampling of favorites including a highlighter, tweezers and a clear brow gel. Again perfectly mini sized to keep in your makeup bag for daily maintenance if you are lucky enough to book an appointment with Anastasia Soare herself in Beverly Hills. The Anastasia Mini Brow Kit ($25 at Nordstrom). For brows that need a bit of conditioning therapy the Billion Dollar Brows Brow Babe Kit ($45 at Skinstore.com) includes a treatment for over-plucked and thin eyebrows. Included in the kit is a “Brow Boost” deep conditioning treatment which will help to restore undernourished eyebrows. The brow powder and brush will help to fill in brows to give a natural brow line shape. Also included is a gel to keep brows smooth and in place while giving them a radiant glow. For mineral makeup enthusiasts, you’ll love the Bare Escentuals bareMinerals Essential Brow Kit ($32 at Sephora ). The bareMinerals kit inlcudes a mineral brow color available in various shades and a tube of finishing gel.

2 Powerful Tips On How To Get Fuller Brows

2 Powerful Tips On How To Get Fuller BrowsIf you are like me with thin eyebrows, then I have some great tips for fuller, sexy brows. My brows are very thin on the endsĀ  so I always use a brow liner to make them appear fuller. I was talking to an esthetician the other day and she gave me some great advice on ways to get my eyebrows to look full again.

My secret weapon:

1. When you sleep on cotton pillowcases, it causes the hairs on our eyebrows to get yanked from the root which is why most people have thin eyebrows on the ends of their brows. She suggested changing my pillowcases to silk which can help stop my eyebrows from thinning out. I said to myself, “Wow… I would have never thought of that.”

2. Putting castor oil on the sides of your eyebrows that are thinning which will promote hair growth. You can apply a small amount on your eyebrows right before you go to bed.

So, by using these two powerful tips, you’re eyebrows will grow back in no time. I just bought my silk cases yesterday and the castor oil too. Until it grows back, I will continue to use my brow pencil.

Anastasia Beverly Hills has a great brow pencil called Go Brow which is a Universal brow pencil. It has two ends and they both work together to create perfectly shaped brows. One side of the pencil is a universal brow color and the other is a highlighter. This brow pencil works for any skin tone. It’s easy to apply and it last for a long time. I bought this pencil a week ago and it looks great on my brows. It blends in very well.

So this is a great brow pencil to use if you have thin eyebrows or if you want more defined brows. Also, try using the tips above to get natural thicker brows.
