Bold Brows - Be Gentle With Your Tweezers


Vogue's Culture Editor, Valerie Steiker writes in the January issue about this season's newest accessory, bold eyebrows. In her witty fashion, she describes her lifelong love-hate relationship with her brows. She remembers one visit to an L.A. hairstylist when the stylist paused to tell her that she had "eccentric eyebrows."

If you feel comfortable sporting them, thick natural brows convey strength, not to mention you avoid the shocked look you get from over tweezing. Less defined brows can be distinctive. It shows that you are comfortable with your natural appearance, who you really are, and that you need little upkeep to be beautiful. If you feel less comfortable with a natural brow, seeing as many women prefer thin, arched brows, you can follow your natural line and clean up the excess hairs without overdoing it. As I suggested in a previous post, make an appointment with Robin Evans. She will make your eyebrows look natural and beautiful.

Hilary Rhoda is a supermodel known for her distinguished features and strong brow. She is often referred to as All-American and compared to other natural brow celebrities such as Brooke Shields. Hilary's look is very distinctive, and as you can see she has beautiful, thick eyebrows. Her brows bring attention to her blue eyes and you cannot help but notice her. She is the newest face of Estee Lauder and also the #12 spot in Forbes list of the 15 Top-earning supermodels. She proves that you don't need a pencil-thin arch in order to look chic and be successful in the beauty world.

Robin Evans Salon - The Perfect Brow

If you are in search of the perfect brow search no longer. This week I had the urge to finally go somewhere to get my eyebrows done instead of trusting my faulty tweezers. I was tired of my uneven brows. Of course not everyone has completely symmetrical brows, however you can shape them to best fit their natural line and your face.
Naturally I wanted to get it done right away so I went on an eyebrow hunt for the best salons in NYC. I read about the 'celebrity' eyebrow sculptors and refused to pay their exorbitant amounts. Not to mention that many of them received less than enthusiastic reviews on the web.
I used to be a big fan of threading at many of the local Indian threading shop however I wanted the attention of someone who wouldn't be rushing me out of my seat. Don't get me wrong I still think they are great for the price, usually less than $10, but I wanted to try something new.
Based on the reviews that I read I decided to go to Robin Evans Skincare, a small studio on Broadway and Houston. If you look on citysearch you will find atleast 5 pages of great reviews from everyone. The studio was not pretentious and Robin was extremely nice and professional. I was unable to get an appointment with Robin (because I wanted one right away) so I got one with Jimena. She was wonderful and took the time to assess my eyes and my feautures in order to get the best look. I will definitely be going again.
