Anastasia of Beverly Hills really has shown me the way to get my best eyebrows. They continue and will always remain my favorite company for this important part of my makeup regimen. When you think about it, not many people do their eyebrows correctly. They can be too thick, too thin, the wrong colors, the arch can be wrong, so many different things. And it's not as easy as it sometimes look. The below charts are great ways to create the perfect brow, if you haven't already seen this before:


Brows should began at the tear duct (lines A and D). The arch should begin at the end of your pupil (lines B and E). Next, the tail of brow ends at lines C and F. You can measure these points with any straight edge. Be sure to use the tip of your left or right nostril as a guide. This is just a basic introduction to creating a good shape for your eyebrow.
1.You always want to tweeze your eyebrows first. Use a good pair, I personally like Anastasia's Precision tweezers. They are stainless steel and have a slanted tip to get rid of even the finest hairs.

2. Create the shape of your eyebrows. For this I recommend Anastasia's Brow Wiz ($20) I have this in Ash Blonde and Medium Ash. Depending my skin color or hair color, I use this to line my eye and create my arch. Just as a start for how I want my eyebrow to line up. This pencil is amazing because it doesn't look like a pencil line, it's much more natural looking. The other end works as a brush, which I unfortunatly don't use because I don't have enough hairs to brush, but others could use this to look your brows look more full.



3) After you've used the wax, you want to fill in your brow with the correct color. This is the most important part because choosing the best shade is crucial. The most universal, and best color I've found is the Anastasia Brow Powder in Blonde. The two colors in the middle are what I've found to be the best color for my skin and hair. You can buy them in the Beauty Express Kit (which also comes with a brush, stencils and eyeshadow) or in the brow duo ($22) A review of the Beauty Express Kit will be coming up soon.


Once I've completed all the above steps, I will take again take the Brow Whiz, and go over any spots I feel need more definition. I recommend this tutorial for people with little to no eyebrows, as I think women who have darker or much thicker eyebrows will not require such an extensive routine.

Finished Eyebrow!
You can purchase the products listed above at Anastasia of Beverly Hills, Sephora and Being True Cosmetics. I hope this review helps anyone looking for better eyebrows, only because it's such a pain buying tons of different liners and shadows that promise to create natural looking brows, only to dissapoint. Trust me, I've been there. I hope this posting will save you guys some money in the perfect brow search!
