The Model Brow : Updated : #3

The Model Brow : Updated : from an Eyebrow Expert.

3. Ideally, the best thickness is the natural shape that your eyebrow already is. If your eyebrows are extremely thick, a very thin eyebrow will not work for you. If your eyebrows are thin, trying to maintain a thicker eyebrow will be too much work.

So what do you do if you’re stuck in the middle somewhere and trying to adapt your brow shape to a hip, trendier new you?
Product.
Brow shadows and pencils can do wonders to create the brow you don’t have.
My fav? Brow shadow.
Make thin brows thicker?
Just draw with shadow a row slighter beneath the brow. Not to thick, and not too far down. You want it to appear as if it’s part of your brows. Fill in and then brush through.
Now here’s the trick. Now with your brow shadow, apply along the top row of your eyebrows.

It doesn’t have to be to extreme, but that little extra shadow filling in the brows on top can make thin brows look so much thicker… Too thin or no hairs? Use pencil first, then set over with brow shadow. Brows there but just thin? Just use brow shadow to make the hairs appear thicker and darker..

See? Thicker brows in an instant.

Brow Tamer Review from Mischo Beauty

Elke Von Freudenberg — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 17:34:52 +0000

“My eyebrows are a serious matter and you’ll hardly ever catch me leaving home without them! I’m a licensed esthetician and I’ve spent many hours learning to tweeze and wax eyebrows by doing my own. Well I wish this product was around when I started doing my own brows, but I’m happy to have discovered it now. The Brow Tamer, which is part of The Brow Collection by celebrity makeup artist Elke Von Freudenberg, is a very light pomade used to condition, shape and keep brows in place. It’s perfect for those of you who have brows with minds of their own!”

What you need to know before you book #5

Elke Von Freudenberg — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 18:57:09 +0000

Elke’s Tips on what you need to know before you book.

Here are some things to consider before booking an eyebrow appointment.

5. You’ll notice that when I work on you, I have you sitting up, not lying down. Why? To avoid uneven eyebrows. I can then look and anaylize your bone structure, eye shape and even your hair style, cut and color to determine the best eyebrow shape for you. Everybody notices you standing up anyway. Why should shaping eyebrows be any different?

The Model Brow : Updated : #2

2. Go with the natural line of your eyebrow. All bone structures are different, and so are your eyebrows. Not sure where your eyebrows should be? Run your finger along your eyebrow bone.

The #1 mistake I see is when eyebrows are arched too high, in trying to create an arch when there is none. The problem with arching to high is that it creates the dreaded ‘happy face’ brow (or so I like to call it..) Is your arch above the bone under your brow? LIke on this photo, you can actually see the bone below her brow. That’s exactly where the line of your eyebrow should be.

If you try to arch your eyebrows too high above the bone, it can look too fake. Stay with the arch that works best with your bone structure. It’s the one that you naturally have already.

The Model Brow : Updated : #1

Elke Von Freudenberg — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 18:55:40 +0000

The Model Brow : Updated : from an Eyebrow Expert.

As an eyebrow expert, I’ve seen really good brows and really bad brows. Eyebrows for some reason just don’t seem to fall in between these two categories. But we all want amazing eyebrows. Why? They literally can change the bone structure of your face, giving you what I call a mini-face life. Right before your eyes.

I’ve worked on some of the top models from major modeling agencies in New York and Los Angeles such as Elite, Next, Wilhelmina and Ford, and perfect eyebrows are very important. So when designing, or just tweaking a new brow look for yourself, what can you do to ensure perfect model brows?

Eyebrow Tip : Define Your Style

1. There are a lot of makeup artists that will tell you that brows don’t fall into makeup trends because they don’t change too much. While that may be true, brows definitely show the era you’re in by the style of brow you’re seeing on the face. Just look at

Greta Garbo in the 40’s,

Brook Shields in the 80’s,

and the sharply arched brows of the supermodels in the 90’s,

You definitely know what era you’re in by looking at the eyebrows. So brow shapes do change, but not as fast as makeup trends.

The Model Brow Tip:

Don’t go too extreme with the trends. Super thin or super thick eyebrows come and go quickly. Go for a happy medium. That way you can easily adapt your look without going through the painful growing out stages that never really seem to grow out anyway. So look at your shape and alter slightly from there. Don’t go from one extreme to the other, like too thick to too thin. You’ll just regret it, (kinda like going from long hair to really short.)

Instead go with the line of the eyebrow and adapt to your shape. The line of the brow is the actual line or shape you’re seeing from start to end at the bottom of the brow. Is it rounded? More straight To adjust the line of the brow, just adjust on the bottom of the brow. Make the line sharper, straighter… or curve the line a bit.

Is thick in? Fill in brows a row thicker with pencil and powder and you can fake it till it grows in Is thin in? Just tweeze 1-2 rows… don’t go too much… Adjust slightly and you can get your brows back in style.
