Brows for days

Oh brows...where do I begin?  How do I express my love for thee...  There are full websites devoted to bad brows, so I don't think I need to explain how important they really are.  Too thin brows can age you and make you look like a chola....

And I love me some thick brows, but there is a point when it becomes a little too thick, like Severo here...

 There's a happy medium, which everyone, even the one's who think they don't have, do, they just have to put the tweezers down!  There's a classic shape for everyone, it all depends on one's own face shape.  The best way to measure, which works for everyone, is here with one of my favorite brows, miss Angelina..

#1- Measure from the nook in your nose up through the corner of your eye up to your brow.  That is where your brow should start.  (I almost like starting a little closer in towards the other brow, it looks more natural).
#2- Measure from the nook of your nose through the middle of your iris (look straight ahead) that is where the arch should be.
#3- Measure from the nook of your nose, past the corner of your outer eye, that is where your brow should end.
If any of those don't measure out, you need to grow that area in.  Trust me, this will work for everyone, because it's based on your own face shape.  I always recommend seeing a professional, preferably ME, to help get your brows into the correct shape, and then only doing maintenance on your own on the strays that grow outside of the shape. Don't ever go into the shape on your own, unless you feel comfortable enough and don't mind explaining your whack brows to your Esthetician the next time you see her.  I love the fuller, thicker side of things when it comes to brows, because it's more natural and let's face it, it makes you appear younger and who doesn't want that?  I always recommend doing a tint with a shaping because it helps your brows appear fuller, which means no more having to fill in with powder or a pencil.  If you don't want to take the plunge with tinting, use a powder (brown eye shadow for dark and taupe for blondes) for finer brows and pencil or wax for thicker brows.  Any brow can benefit from a brow gel, they help keep them in place (you can even use clear mascara or spray some hairspray on a disposable mascara wand).  So ladies, put the tweezers down and head to your Esthetician, no, not your nail salon (a whole different story), to get you on the right track towards beautiful brows like these...

Irritating In-GROAN

Anyone who has gone through the fun experience known as waxing, knows they have to watch out for those pesky and painful ingrown hairs.  One way to prevent it is by manual exfoliation as soon as the hair begins to grow back.  Another stronger, more effective way to prevent ingrowns is by slathering the area with Tend Skin.  Accidentally discovered by a dentist in 1985, this unique formulation was a side effect of medication given to a patient who informed the doctor that something was suddenly clearing his skin of unsightly razor bumps.
Since then, many other uses for Tend Skin have been discovered.  Tend Skin will improve the appearance of razor bumps, ingrown hairs, and redness caused by hair removal. Excellent for both women and men, you will see results in only 24 hours!  I like to apply it immediately after waxing a client to reduce the appearance of any resulting redness within minutes.  The scent isn't exactly what I would call "pleasant", (don't plan on gettin' down with your man after using it) but it's well worth it to prevent the madness of  ingrowns.
