EYEBROWS<br />
by ann e. butenas<br />
I<br />
am a make-up junkie! I have a drawer full of supplies that promise<br />
me a new look, improved features, and diminished lines and<br />
wrinkles. By<br />
all accounts, I<br />
should look like<br />
a super model.<br />
However, it seems<br />
I continue to miss<br />
the mark and<br />
then realized one<br />
simple aspect of<br />
my regimen that<br />
I rarely observe—<br />
the eyebrow.<br />
I have been<br />
fortunate that with<br />
time and age, my<br />
eyebrows have<br />
remained consistently<br />
the same.<br />
No flyaway hairs.<br />
No unibrow look.<br />
No gray hairs. I<br />
once had them<br />
waxed but vowed<br />
I would never do<br />
that again. Yes,<br />
I am a wimp.<br />
In my arsenal of make-up supplies, I have one lone eyebrow pencil<br />
that has seen better days. I occasionally fill in my eyebrows with a<br />
deepened brown color and then rub it in. It looks natural but does not<br />
really make an overall difference in my appearance. By addressing the<br />
eyebrows, however, we can create a stylish difference in our features.<br />
In order to figure out how to get those stylish looks that seem so<br />

effortless to Hollywood celebrities and fashion models, it is important<br />
to first determine the shape of your face. There are essentially four<br />
types of faces:<br />
round, oval,<br />
heart-shaped<br />
and long.<br />
If you<br />
have a round<br />
face, your<br />
face is nearly<br />
as wide as it<br />
is long, with<br />
your cheeks<br />
being the widest<br />
part of your<br />
face. With an<br />
oval face, the<br />
cheekbones are<br />
defined and<br />
your forehead is<br />
wider than your<br />
chin. If you<br />
have a wider<br />
forehead but a<br />
less outstanding<br />
chin, then you<br />
have a heartshaped<br />
face.<br />
Finally, if your cheekbones, forehead and jaw are the same width and<br />
your chin is defined, this is recognized as a long face.<br />
For round faces, it is best to tone down the fullness of it by creating<br />
a high arch in the brow. By doing this, you draw the eye up and<br />
down, making your face appear longer. For oval faces, a soft, angled<br />
style works best on the brows.<br />
In order to figure out how to get those stylish looks<br />
that seem so effortless to Hollywood celebrities<br />
and fashion models, it is important to first<br />
determine the shape of your face.
