EYEBROW LESSON

EYEBROW LESSONAdvice By Bobbi Brown From "Bobbi Brown Teenage Beauty: Everything You Need To Look Pretty, Natural, Sexy & Awesome".


~  Getting the right shape is everything when it comes to your eyebrows.  When in doubt, leave yours alone - taking away too much is the worst thing you can do.  Thick, natural, untouched brows are much more beautiful than overplucked, overmanicured brows.
~  To make sure your shape is natural-looking, you need to keep the natural shape of your brow.  Just use your tweezers to clean up stray hairs.
~  Don't glue yourself to a magnifying mirror without coming up for breath.  Stepping back and taking a look may save you from taking off too much.  Overplucking is most girl's biggest regret.
