Welcome to brow rehab

Meagan Kerr December 1999

December 1999: Blonde hair, bare midriff and bad brows

I was a teenager in the 90’s when thin eyebrows were in. I’ve been looking through my photo albums and the thinner the better, it seems – a few of my friends shaved theirs off and drew them back on with liquid eyeliner (something I was never game to try) but mostly we all had our brows plucked super thin. Fast forward some 15-odd years and I’ve realised that I shouldn’t have ever tried to jump on the brow trend wagon. Thin eyebrows look fine on some people but a thicker natural brow looks much nicer on me.

I’ve spent the last five years or so in brow rehab, trying to grow them back into a normal shape and restore them to their former glory, before I got all heavy-handed with the tweezers.

I’m trying to undo years of bad brow shaping and overplucking that have left my brows too short and quite sparse. I fill them in with pencil or powder in an attempt to hide my brow sins, but there’s a point where a gal needs a bit more help.

Review: Billion Dollar Brows

Meagan Kerr Billion Dollar Brows after

Trust me when I say that my brow game has not always been this strong…

I was a teenager in the late 90’s (yes – all of those things that are in fashion again – I wore them the first time around), and the fashion for brows was super thin with high arches. Fortunately (for me) I don’t have any photos on hand of the disaster that was my over plucked brows, so you’ll just have to use your imagination. As a result, I seem to have developed an incredibly overzealous hand with the tweezers when I’m grooming my brows that seems to have continued on far too long. I’ve checked myself into brow rehab: hiding my tweezers and only letting my brows be shaped by professionals for the last year as they attempted to grow back. View Post

Benefit Brow Bar

Last week I visited the Bene-babes at the Benefit Cosmetics counter in Smith & Caughey’s so that I could find out what it takes to get perfectly shaped brows. Jessica Bok, one of Benefit’s educators, was kind enough to take me through the Benefit Brow Bar experience*.

Hurray for beautiful brows!

First of all, Jess showed me Benefit’s winning formula for amazing brows. They begin by measuring three points  – from the bottom of your nose to the start, arch and end of your eyebrow.  This is to make sure that you get the perfect shape for your face! Jess then tinted my brows the same shade of brown that they were naturally.  We didn’t want to make them darker overall, just darken up the fine light fluffy hairs that were hiding in there, to give me fuller, thicker looking eyebrows.
