Q&A Beauty Look and feel your big-day best with help from the professionals JUST BROWSING How can I make sure my eyebrows look picture-perfect on my wedding day? Sarah Amelia Fogg, celebrity make-up artist and founder of Brows by Sarah (www.brows-by-sarah.com) says: Avoid the tweezers, unless you’re plucking from the flat area between your eyebrows above your nose. Plucking hairs from around the arch and bulb can be detrimental to your brow health and growth as we never know how long it’ll take for those hairs to grow back. In some cases they never return. I’d recommend going to a professional who can advise on what’s best. If you want to try and grow your brows to fill them in naturally, brow growth serum is everything. I formulated Wow Brow Growth Mascara that’s clinically proven to naturally fill in brows. This enhancing and thickening serum is available in a choice of two pigments. When applied daily it reactivates growth while stimulating keratin production, and strengthening weak and sparse hairs. It’s all about being consistent with usage and having patience to see the results. Picking the right shape is also important. Your eyebrows can lift, define, and frame your entire face perfectly, so ensuring they’re symmetrical too is crucial. To find the right shape for you, map the bulb, arch, and tail of your brows using a pencil or the end of a make-up brush. Start by placing your chosen tool on the side of your nose and angling towards the inner corner of your eye, which will indicate where the bulb of your brow should start. Then, angle your tool over your eye and this will show you where the tail should be. I recommend trying to honour your natural brow shape as this will suit you best. Less is more when it comes to product. Whether you enjoy a natural, fluffy look or a skinny brow, try to avoid using too much product. Even if you have minimal brow hair you probably don’t need as much product as you think. Start at the tail, then work inwards, this can help you style with the natural shape of the arch. Finally, use a strong, clear gel to brush the hairs upwards and create a thicker, fluffy look while keeping them in place all day. The Fluff It Up Brow Gel is so easy to use and it lasts all day. It can be used with or without make-up, but if using with, be sure to use it at the end of your routine to get the full sculpt and lift effect. Apply with the spoolie gently brushing upwards from the bulb of the brow making your way to the tail. Adding in a few subtle hair strokes with a precise pencil will also create the illusion of thicker brows. LIFT OFF I really want to make my eyes stand out on the big day, but I’ve tried false lashes before and find them so uncomfortable. What else could you suggest? Christina Henry-Winterburn from Christina’s Nail’s & Beauty (www.instagram.com/nails_by_christina_w) says: To make your eyes stand out without having to use fake lashes, or lash extensions, I’d suggest a lash lift and tint. Lash lifts require minimal maintenance and can last between six and eight weeks. They make your own lashes appear longer, curly and shiny. Most of the time clients will ask for black lashes to replicate a mascara effect, but there are lots of different tint shades available to complement your skin tone and hair colour. This treatment can take around 60 minutes and you must always have a patch test at least 48 hours beforehand. Getty Images 76
