Graphic Green

"Green is a color that makes a statement, as opposed to a neutral everyday shade," Emerald eye shadow enhances green eyes, is compatible with blue eyes, emphasizes green undertones in hazel eyes and intensifies brown eyes to make them appear deeper

Easy Green Eyed look:

First, you will need to apply a light green eye shadow to the entire lid. Brush this on so the color is bright and noticeable. After this, brush on a darker green in the outer crease of the eye and the outer v of the eye. Next, brush on a sparkly green shadow over both the colors and blend them together. Now, apply black eyeliner to the top and bottom of the eye. After this, apply black mascara to the top and bottom lashes, then curl the lashes and enjoy your new look!

Perfect Eybrows

Every human being is bestowed with natural shape of eyebrows. Depending on the shape and thickness, they can either beautify your face or make it look inconspicuous. People who have a thick growth with beautiful arches, need not manipulate them much. A little effort to remove the extra hair, while retaining the natural shape, can make a lot difference.Determining the shape of the eyebrow needs to be done by ensuring the distance between the eyes, nose and end of the eyebrows is equal. The arch of the eyebrow needs to fall in the right place to be able to fully emphasize the shape of the eyes. Your eybrows should frame your face don't let them be the only thing people look at because they are taking over your face! 

~find a beautician to help you determine the shape of your eyebrows. The arching and thickness of the eyebrows can be determined by you. The beautician will be able to shape the eyebrows in the exact way and this is not an easy thing to do. You are looking for a symmetrical look and symmetry can be a little bit difficult to obtain on your own.
Shape of Brows                          
The framework of face is the most important aspect in determining the shape of eyebrows.

Arched eyebrows suit the best in round face or semi oval face. The brow angled high or peaked at the middle, while keeping the tapering part small, is the ideal shape for round face.

Perfect eyebrows for oval face, are shaped flat. 

The arch is usually kept low for oval or elongated face.

If eyebrows are angled with raised peak, they make the face look even longer. 


To retain the oval shape, the peak should be very small or flat.

Round eyebrows with softer peaks complement faces with tapered chin and oblong frame. The brow should be left thick for square face and slight angle should be made at the end.

~after you have determined how thick and how arched your eyebrows should be, allow the beautician to give your eyebrows the desired shape. There is a variety of ways you can shape your eyebrows in depending on each person’s personal preference. Eyebrow threading, eyebrow waxing and tweezing are the most popular methods so far. A lot of people consider waxing the best option because the results are quicker and last almost one month. Choose whatever appeals to you most; just make sure you turn for the help of an experienced beautician

~if you already shaped your eyebrows and the result is not the one you desired, allow your eyebrows to grow back and then visit a beautician. The results will be well worth the money spent.
 ~make sure your beautician or eyebrow technician is  licensed to perform  your service. Ask to see it (especially if in a nail shop or some place that’s not a salon or spa. Usually cosmetologist and estheticians are only licensed in this area to perform these services to be trained for sanitation purposes lessen chances of infections or allergic reactions
~once your eyebrows have been shaped to perfection all you need to do is maintain their shape by plucking the new grown hairs. You can do it yourself or you can visit a beautician on a regular basis


Extra Tips

  • a great look can be achieved by trimming the eyebrows. The ends of the hairs will be trimmed at the same length using a small pair or scissors. Make sure not to cut too much and cut at the same length



  • fill in any gaps in your eyebrows with make-up. This way you will be able to have gorgeously shaped and well defined eyebrows. You can use an eyeshadow or an eyebrow pencil in the same color as your eyebrows, depending on what seems easier and better for you

  • groom and maintain your perfectly shaped eyebrows as often as necessary and you will look gorgeous. You will be able to see the results and the change in just seconds, so don't hesitate to get the perfect eyebrows.

  • fill in sparse areas with a freshly sharpened brow pencil - be a bombshell; use light, quick strokes to draw in hair. Brow powder will give thin brows overall definition, and is great for a more natural look. Using the brow brush, sweep powder up and outward over brows. If you're a brow novice, a tinted brow gel is a foolproof way to keep brows in place. Try to lightly coat brows using upward and making outward strokes. Wipe off any excess and allow it to set. Then Be Glam!
