Weekend Wisdom: Brow Beauty

Perfecting the shape of your eyebrows is quite the task! Each shape will vary from person to person, depending on their face/eye shape and bone structure.

Here are a few different shapes..

You will have to play around with a few different shapes to see which fits best for your face/eye shape. I suggest using a brow pencil to test different angles and arches instead of waxing or plucking the different shapes, that could take forever AND can set you up for some serious brow disfigurement!

Sephora sells a wonderful "Arch It Brow Kit" which you can get here for $11! As you can see in the photo below there are a few different arch shapes you can stencil and test out:

Personally, I do not get my eyebrows waxed. Partially because I do not trust anyone else to consistently frame my brows, but also because it is expense to have them done! I would rather spend that money on some new makeup or shoes ;) ...That being said, I pluck my eyebrows with  tweezers (Revlon).

When plucking or waxing your brows, make sure that you keep the length long enough. As seen in this photo, the start of the brow is at the inside corner of your eyelid, and it extends to the outside corner of your eye:

Even though my eyebrows are thick, I still use an eyebrow pencil to fill in the shape. I use this product:

I use medium brown color, but everyone will be different. Try to get a shade darker than your hair color, that will most likely be the color of your eyebrows. It is very important to match this perfectly otherwise it will look fake and painted on!

The final tip to share with you is to be consistent with your brows and keep it natural!

Weekend Wisdom: The most IMPORTANT Beauty Secret

The best thing you can do for your body and your mind is EXERCISE! 

I cannot stress this enough, an active lifestyle not only does wonders for your body, but it changes your outlook in life. Being fit and active is a confidence B-O-O-S-T-E-R as well. There is nothing like starting your day after a powerful workout.

I may not be the most muscular girl on the block, but I make my workouts a priority! So many people tell me they don’t have time, and I understand a busy lifestyle. But no is NOT an option for me, because I know what being active has done to positively improve my life…So I MAKE time. I wake up at 4:30AM Monday-Friday to workout at my gym. I am home, showered, and ready for my day before the sun comes up! Talk about feeling productive! Saturdays are a little more lax as I can usually sleep in until about 7AM, and get my workout in by 9AM.

I have a LOVE for running. I ran cross country in college and was HOOKED ever since. If anyone would have asked me that when I was a teenager I would have cringed at thought of running as a hobby, but it truly is amazing! Although running is a great way to stay lean, I don’t neglect weight training, as it keeps my metabolism REVVED UP the rest of the day...Do not be afraid of the weights, ladies! Muscles are BEAUTIFUL!! I work out one muscle group and do a lower body exercise as well 5-6 times a week. Example, Mondays I will do 3 different triceps exercises that I will super-set with inner thigh squats…This regime may not be for everyone, but it works wonders for me and gets me in and out of the gym in 60 minutes blasting over 600 calories! WOO!

If you want more tips/tricks or have any questions regarding my workouts feel free to email me.

Remember dolls, stay active, stay positive and stay darling!
