Isn't is amazing how different you look when you get your eyebrows done? Los Angeles-based brow expert, Claudia Connelly, understands the power of the brow all too well. Check out her professional opinion on how to put your best brow forward!
Claudia, what makes eyebrows so essential for making us look as put together as possible?
Eyebrows frame your face, and your eyes are usually where most people will be looking at you. Plus having a defined brow is an easy way to look polished. You can change your expression with the eyebrows.
What have been the eyebrow trends that have been popular in the past?
Thin eyebrows were very popular in the past for some reason and many women are paying the price now. Regrowing or retraining your eyebrows is not any easy thing to do.
Why are eyebrow trends officially a thing of the past?
There was a time where thin eyebrows were in, but ultimately it is fuller brows that make you look more youthful and attractive. Thin eyebrows really age you. Also, brow shaping should be done based on your own bone structure and face shape. Following a "trend" will not be the best look on the majority of people.
What do we do if we have plucked our eyebrows into oblivion? Help!
It is essential to try to regrow the hair. You can use products to stimulate hair follicles. While not intended for this use, I have seen good results from people using products like Revitalash and Latisse.
Also, learn how to do your own makeup and fill in with powder and/or pencil. Regrowing your eyebrows could take up to a year or two, so don't be discouraged if you don't see results after just a few months. That's what the makeup is for.
What about if we have the exact opposite problem and have too much to work with? unibrowproblems
This is the easiest problem and the best situation for me to work with. The more you have to work with, the easier it is for me to create a full and flattering shape. You will just need to visit your esthetician more frequently to keep up with it.
