Desperate Browswives
‘BEWARE glamour brows during daylight hours’, warns permanent makeup specialist Essjay Hartshorn.
Women should tone down their daytime eyebrows to avoid looking heavily made up, the cosmetic tattooist to the stars advises.
‘Over the top eyebrows are being seen on quite a few celebrities at the moment, and unfortunately it’s rarely a flattering look,’ explains Essjay.
‘Glamour brows are great for evenings under dimmed lighting, but they can look too dramatic during daylight, so don’t be too heavy handed with your eyebrow pencil.
‘Take it softer during daylight; even at night don’t go OTT. Going too blocky when lining brows will make your forehead look like it’s hosting a pair of slugs.
Essjay also warns that heavy brows with an exaggerated arch look false and unflattering as seen on new reality soap Desperate Scousewives.
‘If you go too dark and heavy and over emphasise an arch it can make other features look out of proportion. Also, pointy brows can make a person look angry. One brow shape does not suit every face. Individual characteristics must be taken into account.’
For those considering a more enduring solution with permanent cosmetics, Essjay has this advice.
‘Never go too heavy with tattooed brows. Once the pigment is in place, it’s extremely hard to remove.
