Eyebrows

Permanent Makeup eyebrows can change the way you look, they are the primary architecture of the face. The shape of your eyebrows can enhance your appearance by flattering your facial shape, balancing your features and framing your eyes. In all honesty, there is nothing simple about trying to design and create the best eyebrow for your facial features. 

Eyebrows play a dominant role in establishing facial expression. They can show when you are happy, sad or surprised. With highly arched brows you can have the, startled expression like Lucille Ball, or the clown look with McDonald’s half-moon arches. If the eyebrow tails are too high at the end, they can make you look devious, or worse, like Spock on Star Trek.  If the eyebrow tails are too low, you can have a sad and tired look. 

The styling, shaping and maintaining your eyebrows is an art. There are books on the subject, tutorials videos, how-to guides, and never-ending web articles of all the different ways to shape and fill your eyebrows. There is no doubt about it…eyebrows can change your appearance for better or worse.

There are several types of tools to choose from when shaping the eyebrow. There are brow powders, brow liners, brow pencils, brow applicators, brow stencils, brow brushes, brow combs, and brow measurement instruments. I just wish there was a “brow man” where he could come fix my brows every morning. Okay just kidding about that, but you get my point. There is nothing simple about the brow, but an eyebrow tattoo can save time and frustration. 

The goal is to get the basics right and make the brows look natural.  Clients who have very little existing hair may opt for a powder brow with a few hair strokes in the bulb area. Many times combining both techniques results in a better looking brow. The condition and type of skin is always the main factor when deciding which technique is best for the client.  

One measurement often overlooked when designing the eyebrow, is the space above the eye. Placement above the eye requires as much planning as the shape of the brow. If there is too much space between the eye and the bottom of the brow, your expression can look cold and uninviting
