Brow Shaping and Taming with Makeup

I always pay special attention to the eyebrows when doing a makeup. 

Brows frame the eyes, give us character and expression, and can give away our age.
older brow compared to younger brow
Young brows are thick in shape, the hairs are dense and can be a bit unruly. They need to be cleaned up and given a natural shape but left thick and full then, be tamed with a bit of brow gel.

 Older brows are thin looking. The hairs have become sparse. There may be holes in the brows. They have become shorter from both ends and can have long wild stray hairs from time to time.

 These brows need some TLC to look fuller and thicker like younger brows. 

How to Shape and Tame Unruly Brows

Remove the Strays
Removal of stay hairs from under the brows will define the shape. Taking out the strays can actually make the brows look a little thicker. Strange but true!

Be careful not to take too many hairs out. You want to keep the brows as thick as possible.

Trim
Wild, wiry hairs must be trimmed with scissors. Brush them up and trim them to be in line with the other brushed up hairs.
 
Fill them
Then, use a little makeup magic to fill in the spareness creating a younger looking brow.
Use a flatliner brush and brow powder to fill in the brows. Make strokes with the brush to resemble hairs.

Gel them
Use a clear of tinted brow gel to keep the hairs in place.

 Here is the older brow groomed and defined with brow powder. Makeup Magic!

It's amazing what a little makeup can do!

White Bumps Under Eyes: Milia

Have you noticed that you have little white looking bumps under your eyes? Some people call it chicken skin because the bumps look like plucked chicken skin. 🐔 Most likely those little white bumps are milia. They can feel hard or pearly. These bumps are not acne. Milia can occur when dead skin cells become trapped beneath the outer layer of skin. Keratin becomes trapped and builds up. A small benign cyst can form which is the milia. It's a cyst!?! Don't let that word scare you. They are harmless, but unwanted bumps.  They can occur on any area of the skin that tends to be on the dry side. They cannot be squeezed out like a blackhead or pimple because they have no opening. A layer of skin covers them. A hole must be created in them using a needle, then they can be extracted out. Read more about blackhead, whiteheads and blind pimples This is a common problem for the under-eye area. It is a dry, delicate area of the skin. I see it a lot on my clients. Heavy products...
