The end
point
It’s a sin to shorten beautiful,
long eyebrows! Unless the tails of
your eyebrows are dipping too far
below, leave the length alone!
Ends should be tapered to a clean
point for a sharp, clean finish.
Eyebrows that fall short can age
your face, especially since the ends
thin as we get older.
“The end of your brows should
finish sharp and streamlined,” says
Cervellone. “A thick sudden end to
a brow will appear too heavy on the
face. It’s important to make sure that
your brow is not the same thickness
and boldness throughout the
whole brow, rather it should have a
nice gradual flow.”
Talk to the
experts
If you aren’t too sure about the
best shape for your brows, it’s best to
get them shaped by a professional.
Eyebrow shaping can really change
the look of your face, and eyebrow
experts know what look is best
for your face shape, plus your brows
will be way easier to maintain
after this.
“If you have lighter brow hairs
or greys, getting your brows tinted
is great for a boost of colour and
definition,” says Cervellone.
If you have quite thin or low brows
and you do not want to apply brow
filler every single day, try considering
cosmetic eyebrow tattooing. There
are a variety of different methods
to achieve the perfect long-lasting
eyebrows, such as feathering, shading,
hair strokes, soft tap and blading.
“Blading, soft tap and featuring all
refer to a similar method for eyebrow
tattooing, performed with a hand
tool,” says Rita Porreca, founder of
Sydney Permanent Makeup Centre.
“Using a thin blade, a pattern is
applied to the brows and ink is
applied over the top to create a very
natural look.”
Porreca takes a combined approach
to achieve best-in-class results for her
clients, blending the blading method
with the permanent machine method
to achieve a long-lasting, natural
look. “That way you can achieve the
natural, softer look of blading while
enjoying the longevity of the machine
method,” she says.
And if you think the brow
revolution has reached its peak,
think again. New treatments to make
brow shaping and colouring more
personalised than ever are coming
up thick and fast.
“I’m about to introduce two new
custom brow treatments: Mist Brows
and Henna Brows,” says pioneer
Amy Jean. “These techniques are a
total game-changer in tailoring to
individual tastes and trends. Mist
Brows creates an incredible naturallooking
ombre effect, while those
with sensitive skin now have a dyefree,
plant-based option with Henna
Brows.” Watch this space! CBM
