eyebrows are everything, part deux

stop making yourself less attractive and STOP over... er... WRONGLY (word??) plucking your eyebrows!!!

did you know that the thicker your eyebrows are, the YOUNGER you look?

tis true.

so, if makeup is supposed to be invisible, like lauren hutton said, then when you pluck your eyebrows into crazy unnatural shapes, you're just essentially just screaming out how much work and effort you're putting into looking good- but here's the kicker- it doooesssnnn'tttt look good!

common bad brow mistakes:

OVERPLUCKING


try and ignore the overplumped lips and heavy black eye makeup, to just see how with a thicker brow she would look more natural, and more beauuutiful!

EARLY ARCH (which i prefer to call "sperm brows" because doesn't that just look like the cutest li'l spermie wormie?!?!)

here what she needs to do to correct this, is let her eyebrows grow in right past the bulbous beginning, so that she can create a smooth arch, and then surprisingly enough she would need to pluck the top of her brows in the center, to really emphasize the arch.

now here is a GREAT arch:


whyyy is it great? it's uniform in shape, from beginning to end, and it follows this rule:

now WHERE the arch should be is up for debate... i've seen the line drawn like this, from the tip of the nose through the pupil, or i've seen it drawn from the same point outside the nostril through the pupil, or through the outer iris... in ANY case, the brows should start right above your eye and end right outside it, using this method. get a pencil... or anything straight and measure 'em... NOW!

more to come... there's ALWAYS more to come when it comes to eyebrows.

why??? because eyebrows are EVERYTHING.

eyebrows are everything. period. pt. I.

eyebrows are everything. period.

this is definitely the first of MANY eyebrow entries. right now, for example, instead of charging money to my roommates and friends whose eyebrows i shape, the price is that you must be photographed for la cmblog.

so, i'll start with this: my go-to eyebrow product is Anastasia's Brow Pen from Sephora.No matter how dark or bold your eyebrows are already, you probably could still benefit from a pen like this, which would make your brows look more uniform in shape and color. I love this one because it's like a watered-down liquid liner that you can both see, but isn't harsh at all.

Actually, all of Anastasia's products are genius... but this is the one I've fallen the hardest for.

talk of what your eyebrow shape should be (a huge component of stooooppppMYLA) to come!!!
