doing it. If you use a retinoid (Retin-A,
Tretinoin, etc.), which I highly recommend for anyone concerned with
anti-aging, make sure to stop using it
before a brow shaping or wax. If you
don’t, you can rip off your skin (and I
have done this, twice!). Also, make sure
you check the overall progress as you
go—do not overpluck! Fuller brows are
more youthful, and you don’t want to
drastically change the natural shape.
Lastly, colored brow products should
complement your hair and skin tone.
Most people look best in a slightly
ashier tone than their hair color. I
like to add just a bit of product in my
brows—it makes your face look more
finished. Anywhere you can see skin is
where you fill in, brushing afterwards
to blend and soften.
