Brow Grooming Product How To’s

Elke — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 14:35:51 +0000

BROW GROOMING
Do your brows look great without any product added? Do your brows look even in color through the brow? Then you can skip all the color products and go straight to grooming, or the easiest part of beautifying brows.

Much like how you would use products in your hair. Thicker, coarser hair needs strong gels and waxes to hold, while thin hair needs a lighter product to keep in place without weighing it down.

Two products that make your brows look even better are

Products Show:
Brow Tamer (clear wax)
Brow Ware (Clear Brow Mascara)

1. Brow Gel
Brow Gel is the lighter of the two and meant for eyebrow hairs that are thin. In a mascara wand format, just brush on through brows in the direction you want the brows to go and then let dry. Best Brow Gels are ones that don’t turn gray after they have dried, and do not leave a crunchy, or stiff feel to the brows.

Application: For the brow gel, apply your brow colors (shadow or pencil) first, and then apply your brow gel after, to make the color water resistant.

2. Brow Wax

Brow Wax is for thicker, coarser, and wavy brow hairs. Since these hairs are usually harder to keep in place, you need a product with a stronger holding powder.

Application: To apply, use a clear wax that will not interfere with any colored brow shadow or pencil. Apply either with your finger tip, or my favorite, apply with a clean spoolie brush and brush through.

Tip: You can apply your brow wax either before or after your brow color, for different results. For a stronger color, apply brow wax first through the brow hairs, then apply your brow shadow with a straight or angle brow brush. You’ll notice that the brow color goes on a tad darker and with a sharper line since you mixing the brow color into the wax as you apply. For a softer look, apply your brow color first, then set with your brow wax on top to seal in the color.

Makeup Artist Trick: What I love to do is pick up the clear brow wax with my clean spoolie brush, then dip the brush into my brow shadow, and then brush through. Do this lightly and after a few tries, you’ll know exactly how much of each you need to get the right mix for you.

January Brow Highlights Special

Elke — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 09:31:09 +0000

January is all about highlights, which I just love. Highlight shadows make the brows look cleaner, sharper, and can make the brow line look so much stronger.

White and off white shades look gorgeous on light and fair skin tones, and really accentuates the brow. For a soft touch, apply your highlights before you apply your brow color shadow so you have control on how much you apply, Our All Over Highlight Brush makes it easy to apply exactly under the brow. Warmer skin tones look good in warmer, more golden tones to bring out the warmth of their skin.

For January, SAVE 15% off all our Brow Highlights, plus get flat rate shipping on all orders under $50. Purchase over $50 and our free shipping kicks in, no code needed.

MY PINK PRODUCT: Bon Appetit HiLight Shadow

Elke — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 18:26:49 +0000

I have not been personally affected with Breast Cancer, but cancer has definitely touched my life. My mom when I was in high school, had uterine cancer. My best friend in college had cancer. My father recently had skin cancer, and I myself had cervical cancer. Luckily my family and I are all fine, happy and healthy. My best friend though, lost her life after only 3 months and I will never forget her.

Cheryl was a fashion designer who was just on the verge of making it big. She had just opened her own designer showroom, had stores clammering for her designs and was on the verge of something big. I met Cheryl on a photo shoot where her clothes were being used, and an instant friendship was born. On the day of shooting her publicity photo where I did her makeup, she told me that a suspicious mole on her leg, had turned on out to be cancer. And the procedure of doing the biopsy had somehow caused the cancer to get into her blood. They gave her 3 years to live. She was gone in 3 months.

So don’t just live.
Be aware.
Get tested, get screened.
Get healthy, stay healthy.
Because life is just way too short.

So for her and for everyone fighting, living and touched by cancer, I’m honored to be able to offer my very own Pink Product during this very important month of Breast Cancer Awareness.

Bon Appetit is a soft pink highlight shadow with soft flecks of gold, and it’s a limited edition only product. Available only for this month of October, 20% of all sales of Bon Appetit will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Fund.

A soft pink highlight with gold shimmer.
