The Importance of The Brow

by Michele Quinn & Brittany Naab

Eyebrows are one of a person’s most prominent facial features and have many functions they perform. They help accentuate the eyes, shape the face, and play a powerful role in communication. Beautifully groomed eyebrows are a lesser known anti-aging secret.

Eyebrows are one of the first things people notice when they look at you. Properly shaped brows give a lift to your face, making your eyes appear larger and more youthful. The right eyebrow shape can frame and flatter the eyes. The wrong one can make you look aged, tired, or angry.

However, there is no one “right” eyebrow shape. Everyone is different, but you can establish the right eyebrow shape for YOU by examining your face, bone structure, and eye shape. Eyebrows have the power to completely change the look of the face such as making small eyes appear larger or accentuating eyes that are far apart.

While you can’t change your face shape, you can modify your brows, which in effect will alter how your face shape appears. Current brow trends might play a role in the thickness of your brow. In the 90s thin was in! Now we know that was one big beauty mistake! Natural and bold eyebrows may be the biggest beauty trend of the moment. If you’re guilty of over-plucking your eyebrows, there’s a good chance you’re still paying the price today. Whether you have over-tweezed or have sparse and uneven eyebrows, there’s a technique that will whip them back in shape. Microblading!

This process can take thin, sparse brows and give them fullness and shape. Microblading is a semi-permanent makeup process in which the pigment is implanted in the upper layers of your skin with a hand-held tool. Drawing hair-like strokes with the tool will mimic the natural hairs in your brow to create the desired fullness and shape for your eyebrows. There is also a numbing cream to help with any discomfort during your experience. The effects last up to 12 - 18 months, after which the pigment fades leaving your skin and your natural eyebrows exactly as they were. You can continue to get this done every year to maintain your eyebrow shape.

Microblading is perfect for those who want to fully reconstruct, define, cover gaps, or fill in over-plucked brows. Call our salon to set up an appointment with our brow specialist, Kelly, to finally get those perfect brows you’ve always wanted! NS
