If you’ve ever wondered why Hollywood A-Listers always look
fabulous, even when their hair is a mess and they’re not professionally made
up, the answer is "perfect eyebrows."
Marilyn Monroe |
Since the Golden Era of Hollywood, top stars like Elizabeth
Taylor, Ava Gardner, and Marilyn Monroe set the standard for glamour with
perfectly groomed brows.
Angelina Jolie |
Today, Angelina
Jolie, Megan Fox, Rihanna, and Kim Kardashian carry on the tradition.

In fact,
it’s practically impossible to find a celebrity today who doesn’t have perfect
brows.
Kim Kardashian |
If the eyes are the window of the soul, then brows are the
frames for those windows. In fact, brows frame the face, accentuate the eyes, balance
one’s features, and add expression.
Pam Anderson's too-thin brows |
While popular brow shapes have changed through the decades,
beautiful brows today are naturally arched, full, and perfectly shaped.
As brows tend to thin as a woman ages, too-thin brows make a woman look older than her years, like Pamela Anderson's.
Drew Barrymore, too thin |
Full brows, as seen in young women and
children, are youthful. These before-and-after shots of Drew Barrymore and Courtney Love prove the point.

Stars are so aware of the importance of perfect brows, they
are willing to pay over $100 for a shaping, and there are salons in Beverly
Hills that do nothing but brows.
Courtney Love, too thin |
If your brows are less than perfect, a professional brow
arch (done with wax and/or tweezers) is the way to go. Do not try this at
home!

If your brows are in need of
repair, don’t despair. Too- thin brows can usually be grown out and camouflaged
with brow mousse, brush-on brow powder, or even eyeshadow during the awkward
stage. Ask a make-up artist for their recommendations. Your colorist can tint
your brows if they are too thin, too blonde, or grey. By the way, the color of
your brows should always be slightly darker than your hair color.
Once you have
the shape you desire, brows can be kept in shape with hairspray or brow mousse.
Until next week, ciao!
