How to Get Perfect Brows

Just got my brows done my favorite lady, Claire from Bristle Salon in Encinitas, & she truly is a  brow guru!! Literally, every time she hands me that little mirror following my wax and tint I say  "Holy shit! Those can't be mine!". Above is a picture of the final result, and you can see she  has mastered the brow golden ratio. It's easy to check your brows ratio by simply grabbing a  make-up brush/pen and holding it up to the 3 points seen above. There is nothing more I love  than a perfect brow, so I decided to write a post sharing some of my favorite tips & tricks on  how to achieve just that. Happy plucking. 

Eyebrows through out history, personal favorites: Brigitte Bardot & Deborah Harry. The thick and defined brow is what I consider to be most attractive. 
This shows just how important eyebrows really are, without them, even the most beautiful of  people look old & just plain ugly. Sorry Charlize, you need your brows. For more examples  check out the Celebs without Eyebrows Blog. 
Fail: Your eyebrows SHOULD be darker than your hair, but just by a little. Something this drastic  just looks frightening, unattractive, and masculine. My rule of thumb is to go one shade darker  than your hair.
Win: This a great example of a perfect brow color in regards to ones hair. The fact that they match  her roots makes this brow color perfect for her complexion! Not to mention the shape and density  of her brows is flawless. 
Fail: Never dye your brows lighter than your hair. This is just weird & is only appropriate  for the runway (and that is even a stretch for me).
Win: This shape is just lovely. I suggest you see your brow lady just once and have her get a  good shape going for you. From there you should be able to maintain them yourself by  following the shape they achieved for you. 
Fail: Do I even need to explain why this is such an epic fail. In my opinion, overly penciled in eyebrows has NEVER & will never be a good look. If you do have thin eyebrows, start growing  them out as much as humanly possible and than go see a professional to help you get a good shape  and a brow tint. 
Win: Highlighter on the brow bone is always a must. It emphasizes that highly sought after  arch & makes the shape of your brows much more defined. Fail: Trim your brows, please. Thick eyebrows are lovely, two caterpillars resting on your  forehead is not. This picture just reminds me too much of Grampa's overgrown eyebrows. Yet, if  she simply just brushed them in the opposite direction and trimmed them up with a mini scissor,  I bet they'd be near close to perfect!
Product to Purchase: Anastasia Brow Kit is one of the most important tools in my beauty arsenal.  It comes with two shades of brow color, a wax to keep them in place, and the most perfect  highlighter for your brow bone.
