VAL NAIDOO’S WINNING EYEBROW MAKEOVER WITH DEBBIE JEAN

Our recent competition offering a life-changing eyebrow makeover to one of our lucky readers got a lot of traction – we received a huge number of entries! The Ridge magazine’s winner, Val Naidoo, loved the professional transformation done by top makeup artist Debbie Jean.

“I’ve always had a problem with my eyebrows being too thin and winning this has been a blessing. Of all my flaws, my eyebrows are my major flaw – until now,” says Val.

Eyebrows frame the eyes, and now that we are all wearing masks they play a big role in completing our look. The best thing about getting your eyebrows done with Debbie is that you get brows in a better shape and colour, and they don’t wipe off in our humid climate.

Debbie uses cosmetic tattoo techniques, and it will take seven to 10 days for your brows to heal. During this time you can’t do high impact exercise or put your head under water. Your brows will look dark for a week, and the top layer will peel off to reveal a more subtle colour underneath. Having your brows done is a two-part process as the skin will “kick out” some of the colour – it’s the natural healing process. At the second session a second layer of colour gets added and the shape can get tweaked if need be. Results vary based on skin type, and when the colour fades you top it up – on average once a year. *
