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.
