As a brow obsessed person, I’m always trying out new brow products. I just got these new wind up pencils a couple of weeks ago, and I’m loving them. The pencil is a little softer than others I’ve used, but I am able to get a well defined brow that looks natural. As far as wearability I do my brows in the morning and they stay all day. The price point is only $12, you really can’t go wrong with that.

Elizabeth Taylor was a Hollywood legend. As a young actress her beauty was incredible, violet eyes, and raven coloured hair made her undeniably unique. During her 79 years she made over 50 movies, won 2 Oscars and was married 7 times! Despite being confined to a wheel chair later in life, she maintained her glamour right down to the end, and was never seen in public without her jewels, hair and makeup. Elizabeth Taylor was truly legendary and will be missed.

I’m currently in London, and it’s the first day of  fashion week! After touring around the exhibiton centre at Somerset House, I couldn’t think of a more appropriate location to write about New York AW/11 collections. These 6 are our favourite shows. The glossy gold eye and pale pink lip at Donna Karan was so fabulous. Make up design by Charlotte Tilbury and she never disappoints. There really wasn’t much colour going on the eyes other than black. The shape of the eye make up is what makes it interesting. Elongated at Jason Wu, and squared ends at Marc Jacobs. Brows seemed to go from non existant at DVF to big and bold at Alexander Wang. Same thing with lips, we saw strong red at DVF to quite bare at Narcisco Rodriguez. Look for our LFW sneak preview next week.

Depending on your face shape and how your eyebrows are positioned on your face, you can use these classic guidelines to achieve balanced and defined eyebrows. You can line a makeup brush lengthwise along your nose and move it into the positions 1, 2, and 3, shown above before you start to fill in.

1. Line 1 gives you the starting point for filling in your brow. Starting at the edge of your nose or the inner corner of your eye.

2. Line 2 is at the edge of your iris. This is approximately where your brow should start to arch.

3. The 3rd line marks the outer corner of your eye, and is where the eyebrow should end.

MTV Europe Music Awards this weekend in Madrid were hosted by Eva Longoria. She looked gorgeous as ever on the red carpet with her hair swept up, it was all about the face and her flawless makeup. Most of the attention was on her eyes which were rimmed with lots of jet black eyeliner, and super long lashes. Shimmery cheeks, and pale lips completed her pretty look. Rihanna and Miley both wore sorbet pink shiny lips. Miley paired her pale pout with dark eyes and brows, and Rihanna, with red eyes and light brows. Katy Perry’s huge eyes were framed by precisely groomed brows. Radiant skin and a high pony, a refreshing change from her Smurf wig!

The first step to achieving properly groomed brows is to brush them into place with a brow brush. The brow brush can also be used after you’ve applied brow pencil or shadow. This technique assures neat and precise eyebrows.

There was an absence of brows on the Fall runways. Shows like Givenchy, Giorgio Armani, and Matthew Williamson featured a make up look that did not require eyebrows. What I like about this look is that it’s ethereal and edgy all at the same time. Now executing this no brow look, can make for a slightly more chaotic backstage environment, which was the case at Jonathan Saunders Spring show. All the girls that showed up with their natural brows, had to then be bleached out. After the show about 15 models swarmed the make up team as we mixed up dye to put their brows back to the way they were! Based on that, I think this is one trend that will remain on the runway.
