I have been trying to ignore the fact that big groomed eyebrows are in fashion. My glam friends Leish and Nads have some of the best eyebrows and feature ratio I have ever seen.
Cosmo told me that the proper eyebrow shape will change you life, if Cosmo says it , it must be true!
As a teenager the combination of some over enthusiastic plucking and a genetic thining of the brow left me with just half of a sour gummy worm above each brow. Most of the time brow mainatance for me is catching my reflection in a harsh light every few weeks and running for the wax strips. I never end up investing in a pen so usually cut out an eyebrow shape from the strips.
With every satisfying strip of wax thats removed some more of my actual eyebrow seems to disappear. today I went to Phoenix Cosmetics and had a brow magic session.
Phoenix Cosmetics use trained make up artists in their salon and rather than just tidy up the strays ( which I usually get professionally done twice a year) they actually look at your eyes and face shape and draw your eyebrows on. This part is terrifying as they pretty much make you look like Brooke Sheilds- and my large features did not require eyebrows that big!
I decided to just go with it and would rather have too much eyebrow than not enough ( we all know that girl!) and sat while she tweezed away.
I then got a light brown brow tint and my usual lash tint.
Afterwards when I looked in the mirror I was so pleased! Actual eyebrows that look like they have been airbrushed on, best money I have ever spent.
Phoenix Cosmetics also do amazing lash extensions for $55!

If you do want to go to Phoenix- definitely recommend signing up to Flossie.com for daily vouchers. Today my treatment only cost 35 for shape and lash tint and then 25( because of my ginger brows for a brow tint).
Love these blogs Lizi, so inspirational! You are an amazing writer and I can picture you saying this to me as I read it. Love love it girl, keep up the good work!!
