April, 2015 (New York, NY) – Bold brows are not a trend, they are here to stay – every celebrity seems to have transformed their pencil thin arches into bolder straighter frames, and it’s benefited every single one of them! Keep in mind that a perfectly polished brow requires more than just getting rid of stray hairs every month, but not much more (wink). Boom Boom, owner of Boom Boom Brow Bar, gives tips on how to get eyebrows ready for the warmer seasons, whether hitting spring break, the Rivera or a rooftop with a chair, beautifully groomed brows make a girl feel GORG!
“It starts with a tint, taking a few minutes to darken your eyebrows reduces time in a tight beauty routine. And don’t worry about matching the color so perfectly to your head hair, nowadays anything goes. Think of it like bags and shoes, they used to have to match, but now it’s actually cooler if they don’t!” says Boom Boom.
A tint is like a glaze, it’s semi permanent so it will gracefully wear away. First an esthetician applies Vaseline to the skin surrounding the hair to protect it and prevent the dye from bleeding onto skin, and then the vegetable-based tint is applied to the brow hair and processes for about 10 minutes before it’s wiped away. Tints add definition by coloring the brow hair, as well as all the teeny tiny little hairs that are usually invisible, so the result is a much bolder brow. Note to self-tanners, skip tanning the week before coming in for a tint – tanners can sometimes react badly with dye.
“A good brow tint gives you a thicker style, a more youthful appearance and is the perfect solution to keeping brows looking great in warm humid climates where makeup melts or water washes it away,” adds Boom Boom. It’s also great for on-the-go gals who don’t have time to apply much makeup or prefer a more natural look. The added bonus is even looking good at the gym and when waking up in the morning!!
The loveliness lasts 4-6 four to six weeks; just avoid oil-based moisturizers, cleansers, or wipes, which can cause fadage. Applying sunscreen to brows protects them even more.
Preparing brows for the warmer more humid weather in advance allows a girl to kick back, toss her flip-flops in reckless abandon and enjoy life….all while looking FAB!!
