To tweeze or not to tweeze? To thread or not to thread? To tattoo or not to tattoo? Powder, pencil, or gel? Who knew that those two little strips of hair above our eyes (or in some cases, two VERY BIG strips of hair) could cause so much confusion and have SO many options?

You’ve heard that the eyes are the “window to the soul?” Well, the eyebrows are the frame of your face. Think of your face as a blank canvas. We all love to get out our “paints” and paint that canvas until we look beautiful. Foundation, primers, eye shadow, liner, mascara, lipstick, and blusher can all do wonders to make us look our best. But the eyebrows control our expression, and no amount of makeup is going to matter if our eyebrows aren’t shaped properly to frame the rest of our features.

Today the trend in eyebrows is very thick and/or very close together. (Think Zendaya, Sofia Vergara, and Sarah Hyland).

Some of these eyebrows are beautifully-shaped in and of themselves. But when you look at them in the context of the overall “canvas” of the face, most times they fall short of really emphasizing someone’s beauty and features in a positive way. A lot of women can carry that look, but let me just say that unless you’re a model, actress, or someone under 40, that look will probably not serve you the best.

STAY TUNED because in early 2021 we’ll be offering the Discover Your Style online course that will begin with makeup tutorials, featuring eyebrow shaping as the first course. Future offerings will address Style In Your Closet and A Stylized Home featuring Fashion and Interior Decor.

To stay informed, check back on my Digital Courses page, or you can sign up for monthly email letters for updates on the classes. As a bonus for joining the list, there is a bonus of printable pages you can use to journal, write lists, take notes, etc. The sign-up form is available in the right-side column on the pages of this blog site.

Looking forward to making 2021 the best year!
