Makeup Transformation: Eyebrow Shaping and Colouring

Posted by ChickAdvisor Team | Monday October 24, 2011

Have you ever taken a look at the weird but very amusing website celebswithnoeyebrows.com? If you haven't, you need to- not only will you waste at least 10 minutes browsing their photo gallery but you'll see exactly how much of a difference an eyebrow makes.

While we're definitely not brave enough to shave off our eyebrows to prove this, what we are doing for this transformation is using simple techniques and products that change the way our eyebrows look. A well shaped and defined brow opens up your eyes and your face and can help to create your desired face shape- i.e. a long face looks more sculpted with flatter brows. Read more about that in our Perfect Eyebrow Shape for Your Face forum over here.

Mandy used Stila's Stay All Day Waterproof Brow Colour (C$27.00) to darken her eyebrows, making them appear fuller and more defined. She also cleaned up her brows using Sally Hansen Bushy Brow Be Gone Tweezers (C$7.99).

Michelle used the same Stila eye brow colour, her filled in brows draw you in and make her eyes really stand out!

Shiori has fairly sparse eyebrows so filling them really creates the illusion of fullness. A full, thick eye brow makes Shiori look more awake and bright-eyed! Shiori is also testing out the Rimmel Lash Accelerator Serum (C$9.99) which promises to thicken eyelashes as well as brows.

Alexandra already has dark eyebrows so she decided to go the opposite route with her transformation. She lightened her eyebrows to a lighter shade of brown using Jolen Creme Bleach (C$6.99). While there is a noticeable difference in the colour we can't see much difference in her overall appearance.

Michelle and Alexandra- are very pretty in their before photos. I personally think that Alexandra should not have lightened her brows and left it the way it was.

You have a kind of "sultry" look that works well with the darker/bolder eyes.

All the browa looked more defined and neater. gorgeous girls!

	on October 25, 2011 Becky 13,128 said: I'm actually half half: Mandy and Shiori look even better "after" - the darker more defined brows really make their eyes pop. I definitely agree with the person who said Shiori should add a bit more angle to her brows, but defining them def' makes a huge difference! :-) However Michelle with her beautiful wavy locks and neutral makeup has a much more softer / less dramatic look, so for me the softer / lighter "before" eyebrows go with her overall appearance. And Alexandra's usual dark and defined eyebrows go with her dramatic looks, so I think for her, the 'before' picture was more appropriate too.
