ALL ABOUT EYEBROWS!

So, i get a lot of questions regarding eyebrows...
Not only mine, but eyebrows in general..

To me, eyebrows are the key to making a makeup look complete and polished.
Eyebrows frame a person's face, and therefore in most cases should be arched and shaped in a way that is flattering to a person's face shape and bone structure.

BUT- THIS IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE!

For girls (and guys) like myself that go for a more eccentric and alternative style, we can get away with our brows being a little crazier than "normal" ....Personally, i pluck/wax mine off... but i will get into that later...

FOR THOSE GOING FOR A MORE "NATURAL" APPEARANCE...
pay close attention to your facial structure...
First things first... Figure out what shape face you have!
No two people are alike, and there for no two or eyebrows are either!
As far as facial shapes go... there are round, oval, heart, square, etc.
here are 2 links to good sites to help you determine your shape...

*****Remember! your eyebrows are meant to be sisters, not twins! So, it's okay if they don't perfectly match! so don't stress!

FOR MY FELLOW EYEBROW-LESS GUYS & GIRLS
looking for a more alternative style/eccentric look like myself...
I "draw" my eyebrows on different shapes almost every day... usually i don't make them too crazy, but they must fit my makeup and outfit for the day (or sometimes even my hair color!) lol.

My advice- have fun with your brows! 

PRODUCTS I CURRENTLY USE FOR MY "DRAWN ON" BROWS:
-smashbox gel liner
-urban decay eyeshadow in blackout
*If i'm going for colored brows, i usually just use a different colored eyeshadow.. But i ALWAYS make sure the brows are shaded darker from the arch and outwards to the tip/end of the brow. This gives my brows depth and realism.

UNRAVELING THE MYSTERIES OF LIFE

I have been soul searching, for what seems like my entire life. I have noticed I have strange connections to certain things, as I’m sure most people do. These connections are inexplicable attractions that set one person apart from another. We build our lives upon these attractions, and in most cases, they draw us in, and help to define who we are. In this case, I’m speaking about spiritual connections. My personal belief is that our past lives, and past experiences are the root causes for our present connections/attractions to specific objects, ideas, food, religion, events, career choices, even tv shows! (etc.)

I am a strong believer in karma, reincarnation, former lives, and the idea that everything in the world is interconnected in one way or another. I often ponder about my past lives and I am almost certain I was a witch in a past life… I know what you are probably thinking.. “this sounds strange, is she a devil worshipper? Does she really think she flew on broomsticks and set curses on people?! She must be crazy!” ……

Now before you jump the gun on this, all the above thoughts are misconceptions of “witchcraft” or it’s similar practice of “Wicca.” Witchcraft and Wicca alike, are both tranquil, safe, and harmonious practices and faiths. They have nothing to do with Satan! Satan is a figure in Christianity, which has nothing to do with the above…. Now before I get too in depth with this, Witchcraft is a practice, whereas Wicca is considered a religion that has stemmed from paganism. Wiccans usually practice witchcraft, but witches do not necessarily follow the wiccan faith… Again, I am straying too deep into the matter…. I am no expert, and am still researching and learning much about these spiritual matters… but back to the original topic….

PAST LIVES.

I believe most people have at least one, unless you are what is thought of as a “new soul.” If you are interested in any of the above topics, I highly suggest you research all you can about it. It is all very intriguing,  enlightening, and has opened up both my logical mind and my artistic mind to new concepts and ideals.

These are just my personal views, and I have found that the soul searching and research I have done throughout the years has allowed me to grow as an artist and all around person.

I feel more connected with myself by freeing my mind, and learning about what could very possibly be a part of my past.
