Damone's Ultimate Guide to Maintaining Your Brows During Quarantine
/My Beloved Damonettes,
I have been getting so many messages from all of you on how to maintain your brows during this quarantine. Many are doing video calls for work, and many just want to look decent not only for their families, but also for themselves (#selfcare). Bearing in mind the importance of not messing up the brows (especially when we’ve worked so hard to get them to perfection), I’ve come up with a few basic tricks to help in the interim until we can get our hands on your faces again.
1. Mind the Gap
Tweeze the stray hairs between both eyebrows with The Damone Roberts Tweezers, not plucking more than an inch of space between the brows in the process.
Pro Tip: The farther apart one creates space between the two brows, the more your eyes appear smaller, your nose bigger, and your face rounder. You want to “mind the gap” to have bigger eyes, a stronger nose, and higher cheekbones. There’s a method to this madness.
2. Trimming The Length
Brush all of your brow hairs upward towards the hairline, preferably with our Damone Roberts Clear Brow Gel which will hold them in place. Then take your Damone Roberts Eyebrow Scissors and trim just the extra length above the actual brow.
Pro Tip: You want the tip of the scissors pointed towards the nose as you trim each eyebrow, going from the outside inward.
3. Tweezing The Basics
Take out stray eyebrow hairs underneath only, avoiding plucking into the actual shape. Basically you are getting rid of the hairs low on the lid, and avoiding getting too close to the arch, or the end of the actual eyebrow.
Pro Tip: Stretch your skin as you tweeze to cause less pain, and always tweeze out in the direction in which the hair grows.
4. The Art of Camouflaging
The beauty of our Brow Highlighters is that they not only lift the brow bone to open the eye, but they are amazing at hiding stray brow hairs and new growth. You simply draw under the brow, and blend downward towards the eye with our Highlighter Smudge Brush and prepare to be amazed.
Pro Tip: Pink-A-Boo works best for fair to medium complexions, while Peach For The Stars works best for medium to dark complexions. All our highlighters can also be used as an eyeshadow base, or concealer. They sharpen best with our Metal Duo Sharpener.
