Eyebrows for some are like a pair of your favorite pants. Sometimes a fuller, more natural style is best, and sometimes the skinny, skinny look is most flattering. Charlize Theron is not one who has to worry either way, and she shows us that a trim line works beautifully on her face. However if her eyes were larger, then a thicker, more pronounced eyebrow would be best. Think Brook Shields, whose eyebrows are almost as famous as she is.

If you are craving a thin brow don’t forget that they require extra careful care. So take it slow with the tweezers, and if you have to, remove only a few hairs at a time. An eyebrow stencil works great, and shows you exactly which hairs to remove. If you don’t, you may end up with brows that look overdone. Try a pigmented brow gel which looks like a mascara and swipes on to define and set your brows in place.

I get so many women emailing me about their eyebrows. How to do? What kind of shadows? Where should I pluck? Do you recommend using an eyebrow stencil? And if so which one? All important questions when trying to achieve the perfect brows.

Since my days back when I worked with Bobbi I have always been obsessed with eyebrows. I remember the first time I saw her beauty book and was drawn to the perfectly shaped brows on the cover.

So it’s no surprise I almost never leave the house without doing my brows. Kind of the way some women don’t leave without putting on lip gloss or mascara. For me it’s the eyebrows. When the eyebrow stencil came along and not to be confused with the eyeliner stencils that I created, I was thrilled. They were easy to use and in seconds you could create perfect brows.

Since then Anastasia and Valerie Beverly Hills have created their own stencils and kits while becoming quite the eyebrow guru’s to the stars. My personal preference though are the Anastasia stencils which I have been using for years. I love them and find them extremely easy to use. Why spend the time filling in your brows with a pencil or brush when you can use a stencil and do it in seconds!

For anyone who prefers to use their own shadows, then this is all you need. Anastasia also has a Brow Express Kit which is a great deal because it comes with everything to create gorgeous brows.
