Eyebrows and Eyelashes

 Void, an Arizona-based makeup artist, incorporated geometry into their brows and lashes south yarra art to create stunningly sharp right angle triangles over the eyebrow area. Their symmetrical, mathematically angular look puts the rest of Instagram brow art to shame.

To find where your arch should start, hold a pencil along your nostril and the outer edge of your eye. The point where the pencil hits is the highest part of your arch.

Eyebrows

Eyebrows frame our faces and can make a huge impact on your appearance. From a high-arch eyebrow that shows your confidence to a softly rounded brow shape, you can use your eyebrows to emphasize your facial features or distract from other flaws. Eyebrows are also important for non-verbal communication and can convey emotions like surprise, confusion or sadness.

Oval-shaped faces can look good with almost any brow shape but should avoid a wide gap between the brows, as this will draw more attention to the face’s center and cause it to appear unbalanced. Instead, try to bring the brows closer together at their outer edges to create a more balanced appearance.

You can use a variety of products to shape, define and groom your eyebrows. However, we recommend going to an Apple Valley beauty professional for your eyebrow shaping. Instead of waxing, which can lead to skin irritation and breakouts, eyebrow threading is the preferred method of shaping.

Eyelashes

Eyelashes help frame the eyes and are an important component of a woman’s face. They can enhance the appearance of the sclera (the whites of the eyes) and brighten the appearance. They also make the eyes look more youthful.

Eyelash hairs act like dust catchers and can protect the eyes from objects that could obstruct vision, such as dirt or small insects. They also serve as sensory organs, similar to a cat’s whiskers. They sense things that are close to the eyes and trigger a reflexive blink.

Most false eyelashes are made of polyester because it’s hard-wearing and holds a good curl. However, silk is another popular choice because it gives a more natural-looking result.

Avoid getting your lashes wet for 24 hours after the application process because the glue needs time to fully dry. Rubbing and tugging at your lashes can weaken the bond and cause them to fall off ahead of schedule (taking the natural lash they were attached to with them). To minimize this, don’t touch your lashes and try not to rub your eyes.

Health

The curved hairs that make up your eyebrows and eyelashes are thought to help channel unwanted moisture-like sweat, rain and dust-away from the eyes to keep vision clear. They also play a role in communication and expression, exaggerating emotions like happiness or surprise.

Overplucking your brows can damage follicles and contribute to a sparse appearance. Genetics and medical conditions can also influence brow shape, thickness and fullness.

A semi-permanent dye can enhance your natural brow color, requiring less maintenance than daily makeup application. Elleebana’s brow coloring uses a blend of oils that were used by ancient Roman and Greek Herbalists to promote hair growth. The oil contains high quality fatty acids, anti-oxidants and botanicals that nourish both skin and hair, leaving them soft and healthy.

Getting tinted eyelashes is a popular treatment but it’s important to remember that your lashes and brows are the thinnest skin on your face. A poorly done tinting service could lead to a dark line around the eyes which can be quite unattractive.

Treatments

Many women spend a lot of time and money on products to thicken and define their brows and lashes. But there are aesthetic treatments that are designed to reduce the need for daily application of gels, pencils and mascara.

For example, brow lifting and brow lamination are semi-permanent treatments that fill in brows for a more defined look that goes beyond what can be achieved with gels and pencils. It’s also a great option for people who experience thinning and fragile hairs as well as anyone who wants to promote eyelash and eyebrow hair growth.

Waxing is another option that removes strays, overgrowth and trims long strands to keep your brows looking neatly shaped. You can also get your brows tinted to darken them for a stronger “put-together” appearance without any makeup. Just like your hair, your lashes can be colored to compliment your skin tone and add depth to your eyes. It’s a great solution for people who don’t have naturally dark lashes or for those who want to lighten up after a hair color change.
