Re: Eyebrows
I create my brows daily. Pain in the butt. But I am hesitant to trust just anyone.
I like the little strokes. Have a friend who has ridiculous looking tattooed brows. It's an art, and like everything, with practice you get better.
Somedays, they don't match. LOL. But ya know, some of us actually do have one side of our brow bone higher than the other. Ashley Judd for example, I've noted...
Kim if you were here, I'd go to YOU for sure! Your brows, and your face, look beautiful.
Lost full brows to Taxotere. That was '99. There is no hope here. And -- hair underarms and on legs, not to mention places you do clearly do not want hair...
Lashes, well, people used to ask me if they were real. They were. Now, so sparse and short! I work what I have. Using Sephora's ARE THEY REAL mascara lately and with side swiping they do multiple. My lower left lashes have about 7 hairs. Ridiculous. But I am healthy and well!!!
I like the v shape for brows, slightly rounded for my bone structure.
Without brows, we have no expression. Brows are KEY to our appearance!
Love your lipstick too, Kim, btw! What is it?
So proceed cautiously, Rachael. Kim's types are a great guide. And they do have to be touched up ev few yrs I hear.
'lizbeth you crack me up! Just love your energy. And Rachael, well you know how much you amaze me...
Hair on head was like a bush. Had to be thinned regularly. Not anymore... Thin, frail. It is a daily project, like wrestling an octopus, but in the end, I manage to pull something off... We work with what we have, right?
