My first exposure to eyebrow care occurred when I entered middle school. My mother had dropped me off at the local hair salon for my regular trim and I was stuck in the waiting room. I noticed a popular boy from my school was getting his eyebrows done, and in that instant I decided I would get mine done as well. After that day, I would return to the salon every six weeks.
While I loved the way my eyebrows looked, getting them done so often was breaking the bank so I decided to start doing them myself. I began tweezing my eyebrows at the same pace as when I had them professionally done but I slowly got addicted. I was over tweezing my eyebrows, checking every single day. Luckily, as I approached college I kicked my habit of over tweezing my eyebrows.
I got back into styling my eyebrows all thanks to Her Campus. In one of our spring gift boxes we received wax pencils for taming eyebrows. I quickly used up my pencil and ended up purchasing a clear gel made for eyebrow styling. While using these products I noticed that my eyebrows did not look as full as they did before so I began using coloring products.
While tweezing did not decrease the amount of hair, the hair that was growing back had become much lighter. I started using Brow Wow from Benefit Cosmetics which was great for beginners! It has an easy to apply wand similar to a mascara brush. It tinted the hairs I already had without making my eyebrows super dark. I soon decided I wanted to be bolder with my eyebrows. I purchased some brow powder that was on sale and have been loving it ever since. I feel like when my eyebrows look good my confidence level increases tremendously and others seemed to notice as well.
Every time I am doing my makeup and my brows I think of the quote by Gillian Jacobs:
“You can convey a lot of emotion with just some eyebrows and mouth movement.”
