WOW
BROW
BROW
By Kristine Hartman
If eyes are the pathway to the soul, then brows are the archway supporting the
entrance. In creating any period-specific look, brows become an integral part in
determining the look, feel and personality of a particular character. The same can be
said for creating any character or creature look: brows are among the first details
that should be nailed down. Eyes and brows must be created before defining any
major distinguishing features. Most common brow offenses include brows that are
too un-kempt, unruly, overly tweezed, or when the shape does not suit the shape of
the eyes. In many cases, women need to follow their natural arch and fill in spots
that may appear too slight due to over tweezing or to the natural growth pattern.
When brows are shaped properly, eyes appear brighter, smiles become more
enticing and one’s face is generally more appealing, thanks to face framing! The
following products are among the best on the market to mimic the natural tone and
hue of your brows. Use any one of these to correct any gnarly brows this winter.
