WANT TO LOOK YEARS YOUNGER?

THE BROW IS THE NEW FACELIFT CEO + FOUNDER OF WINK BROW BAR EXPLAINS WHY

As with most features on our face, our eyebrows change as we age, and not always for the better. One could say they become our “arch enemy” without the proper arsenal of tools and tricks.  They can become sparse, droop, turn grey, change color, length and thickness. To add insult to injury, aging eyebrows often cease to regrow, so a single overzealous tweezer session can leave you with almost nonexistent brows. The good news is, “all of these “ills” can be reversed with some skilled brow work, the right products and at home tips,” says Umbreen Sheikh who is the founder+ CEO of Wink Brow Bar/Salon with locations in New York and London as well as an eponymous line of eye and face products.

Shape

Umbreen says that, “Brows can visually lift or droop the face—they are defining attributes that complement not only your face but the way you want the world to see you. The shape of your brows plays a big part in the appearance of your overall look. You can appear younger by having a fuller brow. Thin brows typically age the face, so opt for fuller brow shapes and use makeup to make the brows appear fuller.”

Eyebrow Threading

Threading is the easiest way to shape your brows by a professional. They will help determine the best shape for your face and also make your brows defined and crisp. Threading is the best way to do your brows if you have sensitive skin or allergies to waxing products. Threading is also fast, so you will be in and out of your appointment in no time.

Pencil

If you have naturally thinner brows with less hair, consider filling in your brows to create a fuller look. Pencil is a better choice over other makeup such as pomades or waxes because pencil looks very natural and you can achieve a precise shape to the brow. Make sure to keep the pencil tip sharpened so that you can have complete control over your application.

Take the Tweezers out of your Hands

We’re all guilty of doing this at times. We’ll try to get the perfect arch and end up with eyebrows that are way too thin. The best thing to do is to hide your tweezers and leave the plucking to the professionals. I know, it’s hard to do especially in-between salon appointments, but your brows will thank you in the end.

Color

The eyebrow makeup color should match your brows and not the hair on your head. Matching the makeup color to your existing brow hairs will keep a youthful appearance. Don’t go too dark in color for the brows because darker colors will age you if you don’t have naturally dark brown hair.

Highlight

Another trick to use for your brows to help you appear younger is to highlight them. Use a lighter colored pencil or eyeshadow that’s ivory or beige to highlight the arch of your brow. This will make your brow appear lifted for a younger look. Also consider highlighting on top of the brow arch to further define the arch shape.

When Brow “Tails Fade at the Edges

Brows naturally thin at the outer edges (by your temples) first, but fading can also be the result of overplucking. “The tail of the brow is the part that sets off the arch, which makes eyes look youthful” says Umbreen. “Without it, eyes seem droopy and tired.” The Solution: Lengthen your brow tails with a pencil.

Trim

If your brow hairs are long in some spots, try to trim them with brow scissors. Trimming the brows will further enhance the shape and keep the brow hairs looking very groomed and in place for a youthful appearance.

Avoid Wax

In my opinion, threading is best for your brows, not waxing. I see a lot of people make a mistake with waxing. You shouldn’t be stripping your skin so close to the eyebrow with wax. It can make your skin soften earlier and make your skin wrinkle sooner.

Brush Out Your Brows

I don’t know why people don’t do this. Just brushing your brows changes the shape and stimulates growth. There’s [nothing] more stimulating than brushing your brows.

Lash Serums

If you have sparse or thin brow hairs, consider using a lash serum to help grow more hair for a fuller and younger style. All-natural castor oil or protein packed serums sold in stores can help strengthen your eyebrow hair. It may take a few months of daily application, but the results will be worth it. Stronger & fuller brow hairs mean less time filling in the brows with makeup for a fuller look! Here’s a great serum to try from Wink:  https://winkbrowbar.com/collections/our-products/products/flash-eye-lift-serum

 

ABOUT UMBREEN SHEIKH LICENSED COSMETOLOGIST

 FOUNDER + CEO OF WINK BROW BAR

 

For London born Umbreen, beauty is in her blood.  Her mother was a huge influence, having attended cosmetology school and owning London Salons that encompassed all areas of beauty in addition to eyebrow threading, which was quite rare at the time.  Umbreen learned to “thread” brows at an early age. Umbreen jokes that her mother taught her, “The birds, the bees and the brows.” Growing up, Umbreen spent much of her time in her mother’s salons while also attending University at King’s College London and graduating with a degree in Biomedical Sciences.  After marrying in 2003, Umbreen moved to New York where she became PR Director of a niche magazine.  In 2005, Umbreen had a son, and in 2011 her daughter was born. After her children were in school, she decided to fulfill her lifelong passion for beauty, brows and product development.

While living in New York, she realized that there were no brow salons that catered to threading and focused on understanding face shapes and how to achieve the perfect brow shape in a way that did not damage the eye area.  Although many salons offered waxing, this was not a method Umbreen wished to pursue.  She was dismayed by existing salons that offered one size fits all, unhygienic, or painful brow/eyelash treatments.

As someone who learned the reigns of beauty and brows from an entrepreneurial mother, the concept of women’s “Embrowerment” was essential to Umbreen. In 2014, she developed the concept for Wink. Today, her empire includes three Wink Brows Bars in Manhattan, one in Brooklyn and one in London.  For those who can’t make it to the salon, Wink has an eponymous line of brow, lash and facial products available for purchase online.

Philanthropic pursuits play a significant role in Umbreen’s life. She is a committee member of “Developments in Literacy” that educates 27,000 girls in Pakistan. She is also a Lotus Circle Advisor for The Asia Foundation a non -profit international organization that works across Asia advancing the rights and opportunities for women through their empowerment program.

Umbreen resides in New York with her financier husband and two children.

Easy to clean 

It is important to realize that faux fur is made from synthetic fiber such as polyester that is easy to take care of and clean as well. This fact makes it easier if there is a need to spot clean incase of a spill of any kind. Depending on the type, it can be hand or machine washed on a gentle cycle so as not to damage the fibers. Before cleaning check for any repairs, loose linings, and worn fastenings all that should be examined before it is cleaned. You can have it conditioned if you prefer that process. However, the process is not damaging just that it is efficient in restoring the luster and shine before it is stored.

Simple storage When you compare faux fur to the real fur. Real fur, has a complicated procedure before and during storage. Due to the various fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels of where you live.

The color too is important to compliment your entire outfit and neutral colors are best for that fresh look that boosts your confidence levels.

It is Eco-friendly 

The great debate of whether faux fur is environment-friendly has always had varied opinions. However, many designers have come up with various ways to recycle to make faux fur. For instance, some designers have recycled plastic, plants and even denim. Since faux leather is best if it stays for a long time the fact that it can be recycled is as important to know it can be worn over the years in a similar or another form. Hence faux fur is the most ecological choice since it is made from recycled materials. This is a great way to bring out the furry aspect with no killing.

Given these points, get faux fur to your wardrobe collection and be ready to trend and make a statement in it. Disregard the many misconceptions and slay on this attire well-matched and accessorized. However, it is important to note that fur is damaged by heat and if it continuously gets wet as well.

DIGITAL CONTRACEPTION: CAN YOU TRUST YOUR SMARTPHONE WITH BIRTH CONTROL?

girl with smartphone

Nowadays, it seems like there’s an app for everything. Ordering food, arranging dates, sorting out transport, monitoring your diet or fitness regime. The list goes on.

But one of the more controversial apps that you may have heard of over the last year — or seen popping up on your Facebook feed — is an app that claims to be an effective method of contraception.

Below, we ask the question — can you really trust your smartphone with birth control? Read on to find out everything you need to know about digital contraception and just how effective it actually is.

Recommended reading: CELEBRATE BUMP DAY THIS WEDNESDAY WITH BELLI SKINCARE

The app in question

The app that’s got everyone talking is Natural Cycles.

Marketed as a contraceptive app (or ‘digital contraception’), Natural Cycles uses the app’s algorithm and an accompanying thermometer to log the user’s subtle temperature changes, and therefore recognizes when the user is ovulating.

Other apps have done something similar before, but normally the other way around — if women are trying to get pregnant and want to track their ovulation for their best chances.

Natural Cycles claims to be an effective and natural form of contraception — without the intrusiveness of IUDs or hormone-release of birth control pills.

The app costs roughly $65 a year and includes an oral basal thermometer.

So how exactly does digital contraception work?

The app works by using a more advanced version of the ‘rhythm method’ — that is, the way that women have been tracking their cycles and fertility levels for centuries.

It does this by tracking hormone levels through your body’s temperature. The two are linked: your body temperature can rise by 0.2–0.45°c due to higher levels of the hormone progesterone).

Once you’ve taken your temperature with the oral basal thermometer provided, you input the data into the app. The type of thermometer is important, as an oral basal thermometer is more sensitive than a standard thermometer and can detect the very slight temperature differences in your body — logging the reading to two decimal places.

The app then uses a set of ‘smart’ algorithms that determine your fertility status — i.e. the likelihood of you conceiving on a particular day. These are indicated as ‘red’ days (days where you are at risk of pregnancy) and ‘green’ days (‘safe’ days where no protection is apparently needed).

Is it an effective method of contraception?

The short answer is no.

One of the key issues with this form of contraception is that the app’s algorithm is based on temperature readings that need to be taken at exactly the same time every day. This is because the changes in temperature that are meant to reflect hormonal changes are so slight.

The issue with this is that anything can affect your temperature — factors like illness, a hangover, smoking, or even the smallest amount of exercise. So even if you meticulously take your temperature at the same time every morning to allow the app’s algorithm to track your ovulation, there can still be discrepancies.

This means the app can get it wrong and mistakenly suggest that days are safe, or incorrectly predict your ovulation cycling. The side effects? Unwanted pregnancy.

Natural Cycles claims to have a 93% effectiveness rate — meaning that 7 women out of 100 get pregnant during the first year of using the app as their means of contraception. The company terms this as ‘typical’ use — that is, taking into account human error. According to them, if the app were to be used perfectly, the effectiveness rate would be around 99%.

However, there are plenty of sceptics — including experts in this field — who remain unconvinced by the app’s effectiveness as birth control. The app relies on the user adhering strictly to temperature-taking at exactly the same time each morning, under the same conditions. Not to mention that this ‘clever new method’ of digital contraception essentially relies on calculated abstinence to prevent pregnancy.

Other disadvantages of using digital contraception

Aside from the glaringly obvious, there are other disadvantages to using digital contraception.

One of the major downsides is that a smartphone app is never going to protect you against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the same way as a condom would.

Realistically, the only way you can successfully protect yourself against STIs is by using barrier contraception like a condom or femidom – something that you need to get from a high street drug store, sexual health clinic, from your doctor or an online pharmacy. In short, using an app for contraception doesn’t provide the peace of mind and protection you get from using tried and trusted medical sources.

Conclusion: can digital contraception be trusted?

Trusting your smartphone with birth control is an ambitious aim. And although the app seems scientific on the surface, we would still take its claims with a pinch of salt.

The truth is, the temperature-taking routine that the app’s algorithm uses to establish your fertility cycle relies too much on strict adherence, not to mention failing to take into consideration the many variable factors that could also impact temperature that aren’t hormone changes.

The concept is interesting, and useful if you want to get to know your body more (as well as indicating the best days to try to conceive), but we would hesitate to recommend this as your sole method of birth control.

Subtle Means Of Updating Your Look

 

woman in office clothes

Many of us are interested in looking presentable and like our best selves. Even if we don’t achieve looking flawless every single day (although you are likely more perfect than you give yourself credit for, even in your imperfections,) we know that making an effort can help us in our personal lives, at work, and to express ourselves well. Feeling well groomed and cared for can feel wonderful, even if we care little about wearing the latest styles or going all out.

For most people, updating a look from time to time can be a pleasant and fun activity. But what about those who simply wish to look presentable and worthwhile without going overboard? Are there subtle means of doing so? We would suggest that yes, you can absolutely achieve this, but you need to know what you’re doing.

Thankfully, our advice should help you to this end, giving you the tools to better your approach and feel more comfortable in your skin. So, why don’t we begin?

Consider Your Insecurities

It’s not as if you can wave a magic wand and allow your insecurities to dry up, no matter how wonderful that thought might be. However, you can still address them, and over time, forget about them. For example, let’s say that you have a birthmark on your collarbone. It’s perfectly normal, but for some reason you have always felt as though it looks terrible. Perhaps a half-remembered insult in the playground could have made you think that way. It’s not uncommon for childhood experiences like this to fester under the surface as we get older, and still have power over our actions. Perhaps, due to this, you usually rare high-collar long shirts to ensure no one sees it.

But do you deserve to have to cover yourself up each and every time? It might be that practicing walking around the park with a comfortable shirt you want to wear (that also reveals your collarbone) can help you enjoy a little more exposure in public, slowly growing in comfort due to this, less concerned with how people might react. After that, you notice that actually, no one even bothers to notice it at all, and if they do, who cares? It’s just a birthmark. This growth in attitude can happen with a little practice and attention. While this is a highly specific example, it can be applied to many situations. Often, simply being less ashamed of yourself (because there’s usually nothing substantially wrong backing this up) can help you flourish.

It will improve your confidence. This will be felt in the way you walk, how readily you smile, how little you feel worried about others, and what styles you decide to try out. They say that loving your own skin is the best outfit you can ever wear, and they’re right. Finding that out for yourself could be the most subtle style change you ever go through.

The Hygienic Trimmings

Added a few hygienic trimmings to your morning schedule can actually help you go much further than you might have initially envisioned. For example, teeth whitening services are there to help you regain that glorious beaming smile you once had, without artificial work that simply blinds anyone unfortunate enough to stand in front of your smile. With a professional service you can clean your teeth carefully, removing long-time stains yet also looking natural. Excellent teeth straightening options also exist to help you ensure any long-term damage or poor growth of your teeth can be fixed and rectified naturally, helping you make the most of your beautiful smile.

It could be that implementing smaller elements into your hygienic schedule could be a great idea. Cocoa body butter could help your shin retain that luminous glow and beautiful subtle scent through the day. A small facial hair trimmer to rid yourself of the smaller hairs that are bound to grow now and then, or a face mask with a friend every week can help exfoliate to the core. The hygienic trimmings of your morning schedule can be so effective in combination that your look and style actually improves because of it. But don’t just take our word for it – try it yourself!

Try A Seasonal Approach

Not everyone can be a fashion mogul, although if you read our content regularly you can get pretty darn close. It’s important to stay consistent, to know what works for you and also to slowly update yourself with the times. A great means of doing this is to try a seasonal approach. A few staples for each temperature condition, and the ability to dress within tones that make the most sense to you can go a long way. For example, in summer you might decide to dress in whites, yellows, beiges and lighter colors that signify light and life. Thinner materials can also help you ventilate, and allow you to tastefully layer should you need to.

Next, dressing in browns , earthy colors, deep reds and slightly thicker clothing in autumn can help your wardrobe shine. This all might sound very simple. It is. What it does is not only give you the chance to experiment with a bunch of styles, but it also keeps things light and interesting. A wardrobe is boring the day it becomes a static thing, and it’s very easy to dress out of place for the current climate shifts you might be experiencing.  Trying a seasonal approach could often be the best shortcut to get there, to the point where you’d be surprised just how effective it is.

We would also recommend at least choosing one or two new things to wear each season, not in terms of items, but in terms of categories. Perhaps an autumn hat might be the catalyst for you to tie together your autumn chic, particularly with long leather boots. A seasonal approach for celebration like this can have more of an impact than you know, and can help you dip your toes into beautiful fashion.

With these tips, we hope you are able to exercise the best and most subtle means of updating your look.
