How often do you think about your eyebrows?
I mean really? lol
Plucked, penciled, dyed, arched, or pierced -- welcome to the beautiful world of eyebrows. Here, I renowned makeup artist and eyebrow specialist Robyn Cosio follows the evolution of eyebrow fashion throughout history and provides detailed information on how to create the perfect shape for every face. The first definitive book on this fascinating yet often overlooked facial feature, The Eyebrow shows readers how they can completely transform their look just by changing their brows. Dozens of photographs of film and music stars from the 1920s to the present are also included, from Clara Bow's long, thin, dropped-down brow, to the diva-arched brow of the 1950s, to the natural-looking brow of the 1980s. In an extensive how-to section, Cosio shows how to create perfect brows, whether the eyebrows are thick and bushy or thin and sparse. Cosio also examines the folly of eyebrow trends, showing how different eyebrow shapes flatter different faces.
The pictures alone in this book really put together how eyebrows create such a big difference in our appearance. Even showing pictures of some career eye brow transformations of movie stars from yesteryear. One advice she gives Make-up Artist is "Pretend it is your own face" -Meaning taking care to insure you treat the brow application as your own. Simple yet makes sense.
