Eyebrows. Not something everyone does right.

So this one has been in the works for a while, as you know I am a beauty professional and operate my own little home "spa" (a bed in the corner of my apartment) and if you ask my clients and friends, I am a good waxer of the eyebrows. I just see what would look best and shape them accordingly, a skill not possessed by everyone apparently. That is why people like me do brows, to de-uglify the world. The women I see around with bad brows look too scary to try and photograph, so I instead found a few examples of the common ways these women shape their brows, and how they make themselves look like complete idiots.

 HAHAHA Oh man this girl looks so stupid. How in hell could someone look in the mirror and think they look good with this eyebrow??? I knew a girl one time who's name I won't mention, she deleted me off Facebook so it's not like she's gonna read this, she was quite the pretty girl... if it wasn't for her sperm brows! I wanted to tell her she looked like a complete fool but never knew her well enough.

These eyebrows are bad because she took wayyy too much out of the inner corner, and needs to grow all that in. If she did that it would get rid of the "comma" look she's got.

 Not sure if this is a woman or a drag queen, but in any circumstance this is not ok.

What's wrong with this other than the obvious? Too big, too close together, too far up the forehead.
Fail.

 Don't improvise a new brow shape that is drastically differrent from your own. You will wind up looking like this crazy bitch.

These brows are showcasing one of the worst things women do to their brows- draw them too close together and not following their natural arch. Not sure what she is going for here.

Well I had to put this pic up for obvious reasons.
And to point out how ridiculous women look when they try and change themselves too much.


Wow.
Do I really need to explain why this is bad? No ones eyebrow is naturally like that except spock. If you want a higher brow you can always take your pencil to the top of the arch, and fill in the upper area down to the tip. That'll bring the eye to the highest point.

This is ok if you want to look surprised all the time. I can't imagine what it's like to wake up to her in the morning....

Again, don't try and move your eyebrows to a different part of your face. 

 Just don't.

We know that colour in your hair is not natural, you don't need to try and look like a natural "Fire engine redhead" cause nobody is going to buy that. This is only ok under very few circumstances, if you have an extremely gothic subculture look, and if they are very thin and well shaped. I have only seen one woman who did it well.

Now I haven't been a fan of this home wrecking beast since she split up Brad and Jen, so I am using this chance to bash her dumb looking brows. Her makeup artist must have been on team Jen.

The inner corners are too close, once again! Otherwise the brow is fine, a little angular but ok, unfortunately this brings the eye to the nose and the angle brings the eye to her jaw. 

Ok, so now you are saying, Erin! I think I look like example number two!
I need help!

Well you could start by coming to me and getting schooled in the art of a proper brow shape, in many case women have to grow parts of their brow in first. Starting with more to work with is the best way to rehab broke ass brows.

I suggest women grow them in, and then see me for a good shape. But if you are ambitious and wanna become a reformed bad brow girl then heres my advice.

Once your brows are grown in, you will be able to see your natural shape. 
Depending on that natural shape is how you will decide where it starts and ends and where the arch will be.


This is the ultimate guide to eyebrow shaping.
Follow this guide and you'll never do wrong. 
Even if your brows don't have an arch naturally, you can fake it by taking a little more out of the arch, and thinning out the ends a little, and when I saw a little I mean taper the ends. No need to go too thin, or before you know it you'll have half brows. Not good.

Another trick you can do at home is draw the shape you want on and use it as a guide. 
I'd just come to me and have a real brow lesson.

Yes I'm using my blog to plug my business!


Brows will make or break your face. If you have bad brows people will notice, and something about you won't look quite right. It's like when you put on a pair of sunglasses and they aren't right on you. You wouldn't buy those sunglasses would you? So don't walk around with something that isn't you on your face! You'll look like an idiot.
Like these unfortunate ladies above.
