One of my favorite recent beauty trends is the thick dark brows. I’ve always had more of thicker brow than other ladies (and when I was younger it was not on purpose) until I had that small stint of almost non-existent brows in college; which is a time that I am still trying to forget. But now I have fully embraced the dark thick brow and I love it; especially when there is a sharp arch and perfectly lined with the nose and eye. For the longest time I would just fill them in with out much thought but now, after learning this simple trick my brow game is strong; and your’s can be too!
First things first there are many different products that you can use to fill in your brows. There are powders, pencils, gel pots and pens. I prefer the gel pots because I feel like I have more control over the sharpness and line than other products. Try out a few different ones until you find the one you like. Secondly, if you want more of a softer look go a shade lighter than your natural brow color. I personally go a shader darker than my natural brow color (I like the boldness of it). The next four steps are all about examining your brows on their natural point as well as determining the thickness you want them at. I have included a handy instruction list complete with diagrams to help guide you. I refer to this quite a bit when I am filling in my brows. It can be quite helpful!
Lastly, regular maintance of the brows is key to help keep their shape. Whether you prefer to trim and pluck or wax or all three, keeping up on the maintance will make it easier to fill in since your brows will already be shaped so all you need to do it fill in. For more tips and tricks of the trade ask your esthetician or a brow expert. They are full of great knowledge and helpful ways to always make sure your brows look on point!
You never know how your body or skin will react. Waxing, facials, or any other type of beauty service that is not a part of your routine should be done with enough time in advance, we suggest two weeks. This way if your skin swells or reacts in a poor way you it has enough time to return to normal before your big day. It’s your special day the last thing you need to worry about is your skin not looking perfect!
Receive any waxing services such as brow, lip, leg, bikini, etc, 1 week prior to your wedding day. This will ensure any redness and irritation will be gone by the time you are ready to walk down the aisle.
