Why is it so important to shape your eye brows?

Eye brows are a person’s most important facial feature, they help you express emotions, they add a flair to your look and even affect the shape of your face – if you don’t agree with us on that do check out those articles that show celebs without their eye brows and you will surely know their importance. However, except for a handful of lucky human beings all others require a monthly or weekly grooming session only for their eye brows. Over the years eye brows have become an integral part of enhancing one’s beauty hence it has become absolutely necessary for one to trim, shape and fill in their brows to achieve an aesthetically pleasing look. Today, we will discover how a well maintained eye brow can affect one’s look.

Make You Look Younger

See someone with bushy, unshaped eye brows and then look at someone with full groomed eyebrows and try guessing their ages, you’ll surely end up calling the younger individual older because they haven’t plucked or trimmed their brows in ages. Groomed eye brows are an anti-aging antidote that very few people know about. Perfectly plucked eyebrows that are filled in just right will lift up your face, make your eyes appear wider and make you look more youthful.

Accentuate your Eyes

Priming one’s eye brows can also turn into someone’s worst nightmare sometimes too. Why you ask? Well, because the question is not just about priming your eyebrows, it’s about doing them right. However, there is no hard and fast rule about what a ‘right’ kind of eyebrow looks like, but there surely is some insight involved on your behalf, so before you sit on the hot seat with a beautician hovering over your face with wax, make sure you know what shape your face is and then decide what shape length and thickness you would go for. You must consider the ongoing trends when you make this choice.

Refine Your Look and Correct Flaws

A lot of people undermine the importance of well-kept eyebrows, because they don’t know how simply groomed eyebrows can create a polished look without even the slightest hint of makeup. On the contrary, eyebrows without regular maintenance look bushy and unkempt which obviously make one look older and very rough.

Furthermore, well maintained eye brows can also hide ones flaws: small eyes, eyes that are far apart, or eyes that are hooded. The right kind of eye brow shape can add both dimension and length to one’s eyes, while hiding away the flaws like they never existed. Nicely trimmed, shaped eyebrows not only look good but they look clean and pleasing to the human eye.

Eyelash Extensions VS Lash Lift

Are you looking for a way to make your lashes look longer and fuller with added tone and depth? Then you would most certainly know that lash treatments can make a huge difference. As the lashes are considered to be most important in making your eyes pop, for that matter these treatments have become the most popular beauty treatments. But what type of treatment should you go for? Which one would be the most suitable to make you stand out from the crowd? You have two options for that purpose: Eyelash extensions and eyelash lifts. Let’s give you a comprehensive account of their difference to help you figure which one would be the most suitable for you.

Difference between Eyelash Extensions and Eyelash Lift

Although both the treatments are used to make the lashes longer, fuller and alluring, however, they work differently. Eyelash extensions involve the bonding of individual lashes to your natural  

lashes with the help of a medical grade adhesive by an experienced artist to make them look physically fuller and longer.

On the other hand, a lash lift involves the natural curling and perming of your lashes to make them appear longer and fuller. So, the lash lifts give an enhanced look to your natural lashes while the eyelash extensions can be used for a rather dramatic effect. Ultimately, it all comes down to your preference.

Pros of Lash Lifts

The biggest pro of lash lift is that they look absolutely natural as compared to the extensions. Another benefit of the lash lifts is that they help you in sorting the untamed lashes which start to crisscross or get twisted. A great lash lift makes them manageable by straightening them. Another great advantage associated with the lash lifts is that the maintenance every 8-12 weeks vs every 2-4 weeks with extensions and since you are using your very own natural lashes, there aren’t as many associated irritation

Cons of Lash Lifts

One of the biggest cons of the lash lifts is that many people can’t get theirs lifted for being too short. So, there are various limitations as you are helpless about the capabilities of your natural lashes. For instance, if they are too short, you can’t get them curled up to give the effect that you might be looking for.

Pros of Eyelash Extensions

Eyelash extensions if done right are the best thing that can happen to a woman. They give the most dramatic look to your eyes and would be particularly perfect if your wedding is coming up. They make your mornings much more relaxing as you don’t have to worry about putting on makeup and can simply step out without applying any mascara and yet looking fabulous with those popping eyes and alluring lashes.

Cons of Eyelash Extensions

You cannot risk getting them applied from anyone as it is a job for a professional artist to apply them properly as you wouldn’t want your lashes to look clumpy. If not properly applied, they would have to be taken out and in doing so may harm your natural lashes. And the biggest drawback of the lash extensions is their high maintenance as they last for only a month and may also need a touch up in between.

How to choose the right one for you?

In order to choose the best one for you, it is important to know what type of look you want to attain. If you want a dramatic look, go for the extensions while for a natural look, lash lift would be more suitable. Furthermore, if you have short lashes, lash extensions would be the best solution for you.

So, go ahead and choose between eyelash extensions and lash lifts by figuring out what exactly you want. You can visit our website for further details and guidance on both the procedures. Get the most alluring eyes by getting the right procedure done to enhance your eyelashes.

The Best Eyebrows to Compliment Your Face Shape

Every person is different and when it comes to the best shape of eyebrow to fit your face, it could be hard to decide which shape is best for you. Like haircuts, eyebrow shapes aren’t one-size-fits-all. Your perfect brows depend on the dimensions of your face, and by going for the right arches, you can take years off, accentuate your best features and wear less make-up elsewhere.

ROUND:

When it comes to round face shapes it is important not to elongate the face.  Try shaping your brows into a high arch shape, which follows a straight line to the peak of the brow, and creates more vertical lines. Stay away from a rounded brow shape.

SQUARE:  

If your face is squarer shaped, experts recommend you go thick with a nice, strong arch. Strong and thick eyebrows can help soften the heavy jawline. A defined sharp peak at the top of the brow will make your eyebrows appear stronger, which helps to create a balance of your face.

LONG:

A straight, medium thick brow with a very subtle arch suits a long face by drawing the attention outward instead of up and down. Experts say to focus on extending the length of your brows from left to right.

OVAL:  

For oval shaped faces angular arches, or severe lines that stretch outward to the temples would look best on you. Oval shape is the ideal shape for eyebrows since you can’t really go wrong with your shape.

Waxing vs Sugaring

When it comes to hair removal methods these days there are so many different options that we have available to us. Waxing has been around for a while and most of us turn to this method in order to achieve smooth and hair-free skin. Now there’s a different method that is a lot more natural than waxing and less painful. Sugaring is a paste that seeps into the hair follicle. This helps lubricate the hair root regardless of whether it’s on the legs or anywhere else on your skin. The actual sugaring paste looks like honey, except the consistency is a lot thicker. With sugaring, the hair gets removed the same direction it grows which means less breakage and less ingrown hairs for you. Another huge plus of sugaring is that it’s environmentally friendly, because it is all natural and doesn’t require any strips or sticks. Sugaring to some can be painful since the application of the wax is applied in the opposite direction of the hair growth. Because wax sticks to any surface it is applied to, pulling it away causes unwarranted pain. High Brow Beauty offers both sugaring and waxing, we stay away from threading and trust our classic waxing methods mostly for beautiful brows. But when it comes to a Brazilian, sugaring or waxing: it’s completely up to you. Try them both so you know exactly which technique fits your body best.

Sugaring:

• Because sugaring paste does not adhere to live skin cells the way most waxes do, it pulls up only hair not skin minimizing topical pain.
• Sugaring paste is generally made from a few basic ingredients, including sugar, water, and lemon juice.
• Sugaring paste is water-soluble, so any residue left behind can be easily washed off after the procedure.
• Sugar is removed in the same direction of hair growth so less likely to get ingrown hairs. 

Waxing:

• Waxing differs from sugaring in that waxing need to be applied at a higher temperature then sugar. 
• Wax is applied in the same direction of hair growth and removed against.
• Tends to be a slightly faster in the application then with sugaring, so if you like quick waxing maybe a better option for you.

Sleek Brows vs. Brow Tinting

When it comes to the fullness of brows, not everyone is blessed with full brows that have no bald spots or spots where hair doesn’t grow. Now there is a few things we can do in order to keep our brows looking fabulous all the time. If you struggle with having hair grow in certain spots then sleek brow might be for you. Sleek brows is also known as 3d brow building.  Sleek brow is a skin-safe adhesive that mimics the look of real hair. It is applied to skin that has been custom-colored for each person based on his or her wants and needs. Another alternative method is eyebrow tinting, which tints the actual hair of the eyebrows not the skin. Here are some things you should keep in mind if you’re considering getting either of these services done:

Sleek Brow:

• Usually lasts 2-3 weeks.
• Typically a Sleek Brows appointment will cost between $90 - $150.
• Procedure takes about an hour
• Skin safe adhesive is applied

Brow Tinting:

• Semi-permanent hair-dye
• Usually lasts 3-4 weeks
• Procedure takes 25 minutes

Cost is a less expensive option.
