Fashion Tip of the Week

Could possibly even be tip of the year. Sorry, guys...I have to get this out, as I just saw another innocent victim the other day. I'm actually doing you a huge favor...in a roundabout way.

Ladies, it must be said. A good eyebrow shape can frame the face, open up the eye, and give your face an extreme makeover effect. In this case, a little bit can go a long way.

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT wax, tweeze or shave above your eyebrows! This beauty faux paus is right along the lines of tapered pants. I don't care how bushy they are. Hell, I don't care if you have a unibrow. Shape them from underneath!

The following diagram is a great reference and I've seen it used over and over on models and celebs. You may want to go to a professional to get a basic shape (following this diagram, because some "pros" don't get it right). That way, you can improvise based on their "template". And less is more. One more time. Less is more.

(No, I did not draw this.)

In general, the guidelines to follow are:

1. Your eyebrow should start at the same point as the inner corner of your eye.
2. The line straight from the corner of your nose and cutting through the center of your pupil marks the guideline for the highest point of your arch.
3. Point 3 marks where the eyebrow should finish.

Also, don't do one and then the other. Rotate sides, stand back and periodically take a look in the mirror. Otherwise you'll go too far. Trust me.

So, rather than spending all that money on haircolor, makeup, and facelifts, try a little eyebrow action. I guarantee it will do wonders.
