What’s a better brow pencil better than an old-school no . 2? Since the soft shadowing of a charcoal no . 2 pencil is universally flattering, there’s none.
Except for a no. 2 pencil branded by a fancy hotel and photographed next to a gold President and custom “K” signet pinkie ring…
I outgrew Gwen Stefani, chola brows in high school; my brows are full enough now that whenever I get them groomed they end up thinner than I dig.
Natural brows are nice, but the idea of waking up to powerfully perfect eyebrows — think Elizabeth Taylor in BUtterfield 8 — makes seeing Cees Penning, the best permanent makeup artist, very tempting…
I’m sure Senna’s brow stencil kit is an eye-opener for chicks with sperm brows or Ronald McDonald-like, un-golden arches (I’ve been there, shorty).
But would you cut your own hair?
Leave the caterpillar clipping to the pros…

Wanting: Eyebrow Extensions“You win or lose, live or die–and the difference is just an eyelash.” So lash extension salon LuxLash quotes General Douglas MacArthur on their dot-com. But go ahead and swap “eyelash” with “an individual eyebrow.” Lately I’m obsessed with Korean soap opera stars’ super full brows, and so when LuxLash’s publicist emailed me about Beverly Hills lash bar LuxLash’s eyebrow extensions, I got curious… |

Wearing: Lash ExtensionsWhen I went to check LuxLash’s Beverly Hills lash salon, I discovered I was booked for complementary eyelash extensions. A simultaneous pedicure — just buff, no polish, thank you — and two hours later, I blinked my eyes wide open to the subtlest set of lush lashes. While I floated in a cloud of a chair, covered by a cashmere throw, LuxLash founder and lash snob Suzanne had managed to camouflage my eyelid’s half-inch bald spot with individual lashes, while taking care to protect natural growth. LuxLash is also in Boston. Go now… |

Hating: Eye Lift with BotoxI hate to hate anything by LuxLash, whose passion is only equaled by their expertise, but if I’m wary of any of LuxLash’s services, it’s their arching brows and widening eyes with Botox. They probably do a gorgeous gig — I haven’t tried it — and though I already play with plenty of needles in 90210, Botox makes me nervous, especially in the context of creating not-so-golden arches… |

Wanting.I confess: in high school I had hyper-arched, chola brows, shorty. Now I’m lusting for super full, Korean soap opera star brows. So how do you get full brows, permanently? You could try a Q-tip of Rogaine, or visit Cees Penning, who began a career as a pre-digital air brusher for glossies, and now works as a permanent make-up artist. He did Bag Snob’s Tina’s brows, and I’m constantly considering tossing away all my brow fillers and giving into Cees… |

Using.For a semi-permanent way to get full brows, try the Brow Extender, in Ash. The Brow Extender uses tiny hair-like powder to get full brows that’ll survive face wash, bubble baths, and pillow play… |
