Brow Mishaps

Getting your hair done and a new manicure plus finding the perfect outfit can take up all your brain space. Then, you are about to head out the door, look in the mirror, and realize you forgot to tweeze your eyebrows?

Think twice before picking up those pinchers! Those pesky little hairs might need to go, but when you’re in a time crunch, you are apt to make mistakes, especially if you aren’t that experienced or just in a rush. One false tweeze and suddenly you resemble Cate Blanchett in Elizabeth.

I have plenty of clients who do their own eyebrows and refuse to have anyone else touch them , but this particular client at the counter made a huge brow blunder that needed to be saved ASAP.

My client made an appointment at the counter right before a big event because she wanted her makeup to be fresh. But when I saw her the day of the appointment, she was really unhappy because she over-tweezed her eyebrows. The skin around the brows was red and splotchy, and not only were they slightly uneven, they were heavily thinned out towards the end. It looked like half her brows were missing. She said the place she normally went to was closed, so she did them herself and got a little heavy handed.

The important thing is to remember there’s always a quick fix for over-tweezed brows.
