Ask the Experts: The Beyonce Brow


beyonce-brow-photo-300x425.jpg

I've always been way into Beautiful B's strong, bold brows. So you can understand my mortification when, during a recent bout of insomnia, I tweezed my arches within an inch of their lives. Seriously, I have sad, tadpole-esque commas floating above my eyes! This morning, I turned to major celeb makeup artist, Sam Fine, for answers (check out his bestselling new video, 'The Basics of Beauty' for more how-to's). Here, the makeup man's tips on how to coax my brows back into Beyonce-worthy shape--without making them look artificial.

"First things first: if it's 3am, step away from the tweezers! Secondly, avoid brow powders, which can give a heavy, artificial look. The most natural-looking way to fill-in holes or sparse brows is with a brow pencil. To create a soft, full arch a'la Beyonce's, choose a pencil one shade lighter than your brow shade and fill in using short, feathery strokes that mimic hair. If you have time, you could create more dimension by using both the lighter pencil and one that's the same shade as your haircolor."

her brows aren't that cute. I've seen better

 

Unfortunately you have to change your computer settings to navigate this site. I don't know whose brilliant idea this was but the other site was much easier to get around on

 

Hopefully, this will help for people to read the articles better..but click on where is says "COMMENTS"...it may take more than one click, but after that, you should be able to read the articles and the comments. I am an eyebrow queen..I believe that they frame your face. God Bless!!

 

ive been filing my eyebrows in for years with a pencil and always get compliments. It is a very natural, flawless and health look. I also massage my eyelashes and eye area with vitamin E and jojoba oil at night to stimulate lash growth and provide nourishment.

 

Sheila, i thought it was my computer. i could not read the article either..and i need all the help i can get with my brows(smile)

 

I need these eyebrows!!! She is amazing and beautiful! I love the way they do not look to thin and the look so natural!

Good Look Bey!!
