Battle of the Brows

There has been a focus on brows lately in beauty and fashion.  Two trends have been emerging and it’s time for a faceoff. Bold brows and bleached brows are going head to head.

Bold brows

The look: Thick, structured full and dark.
Brow ambassadors: Keira Knightly, Ali Micheals and Bambi Northwood-Blyth.
Spotted on the runways of: Oscar de la Renta, Alexander Wang and Jean Paul Gaultier.

How to: For this look you need to put down the tweezers and let your brows grow in fully. Use a brow brush to fluff them up.  Next, meet your new best friends: brow enhancers. Brow pencils and powders will help you to fill in any sparse patches and give you a full and healthy looking brow.
 
Bonus: Thicker eye brows make you look younger, and this look generally works well on everyone.

Bleached brows

The look: High fashion, barley there and colorless.
Brow ambassadors: Lara stone, Daphne Groeneveld and Claudia Schiffer.
Spotted on the runways of: Jason Wu, Vera Wang and Giles.

How to: Make a trip to the salon and get your eyebrows professionally bleached if you want to make it permanent. If not, start by combing through your eye brows to flatten them. Next, take a makeup primer and cover them with it, smoothing them down. After that, apply cream foundation to mask them. Complete the look by dusting your brows with a setting powder. 

Bonus: This beauty trend really only looks good on models. If you can rock it, maybe you should consider signing with an agency.
