Getting Your Brows Done in Public: Pretty Good, Actually
My eyebrows were a pair of unruly beasts, and no at-home tweezing could tame them. And unfortunately, my regular brow-maintenance person has raised her prices to a not-so-affordable $50 a pop. So last night, I trekked to Nordstrom to try out the Anastasia Brow Studio in the beauty department.
Six Tips For Beautiful Brows
When plucking (or is it tweezing?) your eyebrows at home, do you get less-than-stellar results? Whatever your case might be, the Chicago Sun-Times has some great tips for achieving beautiful brows from Benefit Cosmetics' brow expert, Hillary Foote.
I think we've all experienced baldy brows from going overboard with the tweezers at one time or another.
Three Simple Things to Remember Before Eyebrow Waxing
Since I've been trying to stretch the time between waxes with tweezing, my postrecession scheduling earned me a "long time!" exclamation at the salon door. Call me extra aware but chatting with my esthetician revealed these three easy things to do before waxing .
Do You Dye Your Eyebrows to Match Your Hair?
I remember my mom getting her hair done back in the day by my aunt, the entire family's resident cosmetologist. Toward the end of the hair-dye processing time, my aunt would always sweep a little of the color on my mom's brows to enhance their tone.
What do you think about dying, or should I say coloring eyebrows?
Do You Prefer Thick or Thin Eyebrows?
Fab and I are big fans of Camilla Belle, especially because she has bold, thick, and beautiful eyebrows. We love a thicker pair of eyebrows, but I'll admit that slimmer eyebrows can work, too. When it comes to you, do you prefer your brows closer to those of Peter Gallagher or Marlene Dietrich?
Doing Drugstore: Maybelline Define-A-Brow Gel in Clear
I've dabbled with brow gels here and there, and I've even done the old set 'em down with hairspray trick, but for some reason or another I've never really embraced the product — until now. And after trying Maybelline Define-A-Brow Gel in Clear ($5.79), I discovered it was just what I needed.
After a particularly scary look in the mirror one morning — uh, hello, Muppets character — I knew something needed to be done.
Color Inside the Lines With Eyebrow Stencils
In case you haven't quite mastered the art of eyebrow shaping, there's another solution. You've probably been coloring inside the lines now since you were about five, and celebrity eyebrow guru Anastasia makes it easy to achieve eyebrow perfection with her fool-proof reusable Stencils ($20). Using a brow pencil or brow powder with brush, fill in as needed and let the stencils guide you as you go.
Eyebrows Transplants Hit UK As Bold Brows Trend Continues
As the trend for perfectly shaped bold brows continues, it seems that all the new brow kits out there just aren't enough for some of us. With models du jour Hilary Rhoda and Agyness Deyn sporting strong, bold and even a little bushy brows, it's no wonder that us mere mortals feel the need for some extra help in the brow department.
However, now it's been revealed that eyebrow transplants, previously carried out only in the US, are now available here.
New Product Alert: Bobbi Brown's Brow Kit

How-To: Brow Shaping Easy as 1-2-3
After looking at some photos of myself circa 2000, it all came back to me. In the place where there were supposed to be two thick and shapely brows, there were two skinny and sparse remnants of hair. Just where did my naturally lovely eyebrows go?
