FAQlogoWelcome To FAQ~Eyebrows


Q. What type of eyebrows do you have on in your photo?
A. I have no eyebrows, so I recreate them with a couple of the products offered on this website.  1. I start with Sable Brow Tint and lay in the base-line of an eyebrow, following the directions on the Eyebrow Placement Chart.  After you do it a few times, you no longer need to refer to the chart.  Feel free to print it for reference. 2. Next I use the Chocolate Slimline Eyebrow Pencil to make the feather and hair-like strokes that create the illusion of eyebrow hairs.  3. I set my eyebrow application with Brow Stay to keep it smudge proof all day long and into evening.

Q. Why do you feel using an assortment of product is better than the glue-on brows?
A. It is a matter of preference and control for me.  I like having control over how my eyebrows look on a daily basis. Some days I do them more dramatic and others, just enough to get by.

Q. I remember my Mother using an eyebrow pencil. Are my brows going to look like that?
A. Depends on how old you are. Our Mother's eyebrows always refleted the century they were young women in. In my case that was the 30's when a single swipe of the pencil would do it. No shape, no measuring, just a swipe.  In today's world, you can control your application and make it the way you want. The products are much different now and we have more natural looking colors to select from.  FYI: When I started in this industry, Max Factor had two (2) colors to work with, Blond and black.  Thank goodness things change with the times.

Q. Why does your eyebrow application look natural and mine does not?
A. I can't say for sure without seeing a photo of you.  Usually the difference is the "bulb" area that I have deigned into my personal application and on the Eyebrow Placement Chart.  By making that very slight adjustment, you will create the perfect eyebrow.

Q. I have no eyebrows. Do you offer the glue on eyebrows?
A. No we do not, but you will find a resource for them at www.alopeciaworld.com.

Q.When I do apply my eyebrows, one is always different than the other one.  Why?
A. Did you know that one side of your face is totally different from the other side? Well that little fact should keep you in front of the mirror for the next several hours.  Really, it is true. The other huge factor is the angle of application.  It is impossible to get the same angle on both sides - even if you use the same hand for applying your application.

Q. How do I know where to place my eyebrows?
A. I would love to say, just draw them on, but that would end with horrific results.  Even the professional makeup artiss and hair dressers measure to correct placement. It really is easy. You just use an eyebrow pencil for lining up the measurement and making the dots. Then you connect the dots.  Refer to the Eyebrow Replacement Chart for the correct measurement and dot placements. Be sure to print it out for reference. After you make your measurements a few times, you will be able to do it without the chart - for a while.  After a while your mind, hand and eye  will get lazy and you will start creating odd looking brows. When that happens it is time to refer to the chart again.

Q. I like the brush that comes in the Brush-On-Brow Powder but find a long-handled brush easier to work with. Do you have such a brush?
A. Yes, we have finally located the long-handled Angled Eyebrow Powder Brush and it will be on-counter April 5, 2009 If you would like to reserve one just email me and put Eyebrow Brush Request in the subject line.
