Its all in the brows....

As you know we have our own range of Mineral Makeup and you can have a Makeup workshop during your stay with us if you’d like. 

As a result of this we have to stay on top of current makeup trends and  "this seasons looks" for makeup and is all about the brows. 

As you know a well defined and shaped brow is the frame of the face and can even give the look of a "face lift" if done well.  We recommend having your brows shaped by those that specialise in this area – ensuring you make the most of your brow rather than lose it all together – waxing it to a pencil thin line is not the way you want to go.  The arch of your eyebrow should ideally be above the middle of your iris.  Use a pencil to determine where it should start and end – line the pencil straight up the side of your nose from the outside of the left nostril to establish where your left eyebrow should start and vice versa on the right.  Take the pencil at an angle from the same position on your nose to the outside of your eye to determine where it should finish. 

This year make sure they are thick rather than thin and wispy, if you need to thicken them out use a little mineral eyeshadow colour such as our "Truthful" ($20) and a really good brush such as our "Eyeline/Eyebrow" (usually $39.00, this week $29.00 when you buy a Truthful shadow with it).   This can also be a useful technique if you have “patchy” eyebrows like mine that you need to “infill” as it were,  or if your brows need a little more depth in colour and structure. 

Start by dipping your brush into the mineral powder then tap off onto the back of your hand – its better to go in several times with a little shadow rather than once with too much – you will get better at it as time progresses and start to recognize how much shadow you need to get the look you want.  The brush we use is a brilliant dense texture that allows you to create a perfect line or blend a little.  If you are a bit heavy handed simply use a tissue rubbed into the brow to remove excess.  More about what else you can do with this brush next time we do a makeup update.
