While Shakira's inner She Wolf has been unleashed in her music and apparently her hair, her brows have survived the attack. Letting your brows grow out into their natural shape is a great way to compliment a messier look. Just remember to keep this in check as it is not 1991 and now even Brook Shields and Madonna have a great relationship with their tweezers and brow scissors!
Rihanna Keeps it Classic @ Women of the Year Awards
Rihanna accepted her Glamour Magazine Women of the Year Award in a simple, elegant and clean look. And what was one of the few accesories she used to adorn her chic look, her brows, of course. Her pairing of muted, neutral make-up tones with well-defined brows make a great addition to BDB's previous holiday party look ideas. It proves that "less is more" can be gorgeous and not just girl next door.
Don't Forget about the Brows this Halloween, Tyra
On yesterday's episode of The Tyra Banks Show, Tyra debuted several popular (and, in my opinion, hilarious) pop culture costumes including Kim Kardashian and Kate Gosselin. But during her practice to strike the perfect pose, the ANTM host forgot the most renowned Kardashian feature (okay, maybe it's the second most renowned), her BROWS! So when you are dawning this season Halloween party couture, don't forget to use your brows to get into character.
Audrey Tautou's Classy Brows
Audrey Tautou arrived at the premier of her new movie "Coco Before Chanel" in a perfect little black dress, flowered head band, and full, cleanly arched brows. Whether dressed in her modern twist on an old classic or in her period clothing for the film, her thick healthy brows never look out of style. This goes to show that full brows with a clean arch can be added the list of timeless accessories next to pearls and diamond stud earrings.
Is Agyness Deyn's Haircut Hiding Something?
Model Agyness Deyn (remember the model with the bleached out pixie cut who's face was in every ad imaginable a little over a year ago?) showed up at Burberry Closing Party in London with moppy dark "do" longer than the one in the above photo. Based on the below pic, she may be using the hair to hide some brow issues. White strong brows create a classy contrast to lightened locks, it can be taken to an unpleasant extreme. But it's nothing a little shaping and temporary tinting, like BDB's Hint of Tint in Blonde can't fix. There's no need to drastically alter your coif with dark tint and let it become so overgrown that you can't see the world around you.
Shannah Moakler's Stenciled Shape
From pageant proceedings to custody courtrooms, Shannon Moakler's got a lot going on everywhere except her brows. She is a prime example of the cookie-cutter brow shapes that The Brow Buddy Kit was created to combat. Her beautiful eyes, flawless make-up, and perfect coif deserve an individually tailored shape and not a generic type of brow applied to face after face. Brows are no longer about having someone else’s perfect arch, but about maximizing the potential of your own brow shape. So say good-bye to stencils, the brow shaping tools of yesteryear, and find the brow babe in you with The Brow Buddy Kit!
OMB! What is going on with Danielle Staub's brows?
The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Danielle Staub constantly covers tabloid magazines with dramatic reveals about her past. While she does have a somewhat shocking back-story, her brows make her appear to be permanently surprised -- a look that doesn't flatter anyone. Here are a few tips to avoid/correct this unintentional expression and to better compliment perfectly almond eyes like Danielle's:
1. Make sure that your brow doesn't end at a higher point on your face than it starts. Over time, if your skin shifts in this direction, use a little Brow Powder or Brow Pencil to bring the "tail" of your brow back down.
2. Keep the highest point of your arch directly above the outside of your iris (the colored portion of your eye). Do not put the arch over another part of your eye or expand it wider than just above this location.
3. Talk to your doctor or medical esthetician before doing any treatments about how the treatment will affect your brows.
Follow these three easy steps to keep your brows beautiful!
Adam Lambert and Kris Allen's Tell-All Brows
Who needs a tabloid expose, when American Idol runner-up and winner, Adam Lambert (left) and Kris Allen (right), are fully disclosing everything we need to know about their personalities with their brows? While the ladies here at BDB don't normally recommend everyday gents doing anything more than clean-up, the shape Adam has chosen definitely adds to the hair metal rocker looks he leans toward, and proves the post from several months ago about using brows to enhance a character or role. Kris Allen maintains a more natural, but well groomed pair of brows lending to a more accoustic-loving boy-next-door image. Congrats to both up-and-coming musicians on expressing themselves with their brows and generating the most votes in the show's history!
Hot or Not: Do Olivia Wilde's Brows Befit her Body?
Maxim's got House MD's Olivia Wilde in the number one slot for their annual Top 100, but here at BDB, we're having a hard time giving her brows a perfect 10. With her incredible bone structure and bright eyes, we recommend pumping up the depth and volume.
Volume doesn't just apply to music, math, and the hair on your head. Voluptuous brows draw attention to one of the most expressive features on the face, the eyes. Use an Angled Brush, fill in the area behind your brows with brow powder and extend you brows. For Olivia, we recommend balancing the brow by making the section between the start and arch of her brow more full than the section between the arch and end (commonly referred to as the "tail").
Have fun using your brow volume to increase your hotness factor the next time you go out!
Lohan's Lustrous Brows
While Lindsay Lohan's weight might be withering, she has been taking care of her hair, brows included. So I just wanted to take a moment to tout the importance of treating your brows like the valuable hair that they are. Stress, diet, environment, and skin care products are all factors that can damage your brows' health. One of our mottos here at BDB is, "you condition the hair on your head, why wouldn't you condition your brows?" So the next time you are letting a deep conditioning treatment sit on your hair while you shave your legs, remember to show your brows a little vitamin and protien love, too. Check out Brow Boost.
