If the eyes are the window to the soul then the eyebrows must surely<br />
be the curtains that show them off ! Perfectly groomed brows can<br />
take your appearance to new heights of sophistication and beauty<br />
and, it goes without saying, are bang on trend.<br />
Classic beauties such as Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn,<br />
Brigitte Bardot and Coco Chanel all had strong, defi ned looks in the<br />
brow department, but today’s style icons are taking brow fashion to<br />
unprecedented heights. From Cara Delevingne’s statement brows to<br />
Kim Kardashian’s bleaching experiments, “fl eek” eyebrows are the<br />

stokes, featuring, shading, 3D brows, embroidery, soft tap and<br />
blading. ‘Blading, soft tap and featuring all refer to a similar method<br />
for eyebrow tattooing, performed with a hand tool,’ Porreca explains.<br />
‘Using a thin blade, a pattern is applied to the brows and ink is applied<br />
over the top to create a very natural look.’<br />
The art of blading is not so common today, with the faster, more<br />
permanent machine method taking over. However, Porreca takes a<br />
combined approach to achieve best-in-class results for her clients.<br />
‘I blend the two methods together to achieve a long-lasting, natural<br />
