Brows
Dear Jules,
Phew, what a past coupla weeks you've had, with that hung parliament an' all. And congrats! But I hate to tell you that it ain't getting any easier.
German hottie Heidi Klum is the latest model to get in on the bleached-out-brows-are-back-baby trend. Kinda. Because y'know if you look closely, you'll see that she still has brows.
Camilla Belle better find herself some bleach. Stat. Because once again, if the fashion bibles are to be believed, the no brow look is back.
For the past few seasons, brows have been big news. Whether invisible, bushy or green, they've put themselves on the map. And just like hairstyles, makeup shades and clothing fashions, different shapes and textures of eyebrows go in and out of style over time.
Dear Jules,
It's OK for me to call you Jules, right? I just figure we'll be getting all close now, what with you being the new PM an' all, soon we'll be braiding each other's hair. Congrats BTW.
If I had five cents for every time I've heard that "grooming your brows is one of the easiest ways to bring your whole beauty look together," or "brows really do frame the face," I'd be a rich little lady. But it's hard to get annoyed at something that's not only a) helpful but b) plainly true. If you've got good brows, then your work is practically done: your face is instantly lifted, balanced and more youthful.
Bambi Northwood-Blyth has something we want. Shockingly, it isn't those gorgeous sea-green eyes, that expanse of tousled beach-chic hair or the sugary-sweet moniker that she goes by. It's those brows.
If there's one thing guaranteed to distract from a nasty family feud, it's bold brows. Well, so says little Lohan (aka Ali) who appeared to go all Frida Kahlo on us as her and Lindsay made an appearance at an LA milkshake store. Linds, c'mon, it's only fair that you or Dina tell Ali that while filled-in brows can look all edgy on the runway, they might not look so good in reality.
In honour of Earth Day, we've scoured the globe and found you the best of the best eco-chic beauty buys.
From hair straighteners to nail polishes, and soaps to lip balms, we've got pretty much everything covered.
And the best bit?
If you take Balenciaga's pastel creation out of the equation, then there really are only two sorts of extremist brows: bold and bleached. Me, I'm a brunette and as such turn to the likes of Camilla Belle for inspiration on my look. Fellow bold browers include leader of the pack Jennifer Connelly and Estée Lauder model Hilary Rhoda, both of whom didn't disappoint in the brow stakes at the Tribeca Ball yesterday evening.
