Spring/Summer 2012 Brows

For Spring Summer 2012 statement brows are in vogue more than ever. It really is essential too care for your brows by avoiding over plucking, and be mindful of what shape you're creating.

I often see many women with brows that are either too thin, misshaped, or simply running wild. In order to avoid this it is worthwhile either learning how to do your brows yourself on a beauty course or get your brows threaded or waxed when needed.

This way the professional will create your ideal shape to suit your particular face. By following this shape it will make it easier for you to maintain the look in between appointments by following the 'guide' they have created.

At makeup school one of the key components learned about creating a look is achieving a successful brow. After all the brows frame your face, and contribute to your facial expressions.

A beauty training course also means you can learn how to resurrect lost brows that you may have destroyed during your teenage years. Although this may take a while to perfect by letting the brows grow out and gradually shaping them, a quick alternative is available.

By using makeup you can fill in your brows. There are two main ways of doing this. Many cosmetic brands sell eyebrow pencils; make sure you get the right colour to match your skin tone and hair. Otherwise you could also use a matte eye shadow and lightly draw in with an angled brush. Remember though, don't fill them in too harshly or this will result in what's known as a 'scouse brow'.

You can vary the intensity of the brow depending on day or night. You may want a more editorial look if you are getting ready for a night out. Whilst this may look to harsh in the daylight it can add drama and look amazing at night similar to the stage lights of a catwalk.
