“I’m getting married in the morning” (or afternoon or evening), “Ding dong, the bells are gonna chime”, and “spruced up and lookin’ in me prime” are all memorable, catchy lines or lyrics as they appear in the iconic song that featured prominently in the renowned musical show: My Fair Lady.
According to a popular saying, your eyes are the windows to your soul. If so, then one may conclude that the eyebrows are the frames of the windows. Indeed, their form either enhances the eyes and their shapes, or alternatively, may detract from their aesthetic appeal and balance. A single pair of eyes may have markedly different shapes, but by shaping brows identically, such variations are minimised.
When one hears the word “reflex”, an automatic, involuntary action automatically comes to mind, correctly so in most instances. However, the practice of a supplementary and complementary therapy with ancient origins, reflexology, involves far more than a mere automatic reflex in response to an action or condition.
Of all the days of her life, there is one particular day when a girl wants to look and feel her very best. It is her eagerly anticipated wedding day, the day upon which she wishes to wow her groom, family and loved ones, special friends, and other invited guests with every aspect of a radiant appearance and glowing complexion, enhanced by subtle, suitable make-up.
Unless the style of a work of art, such as a painting, is totally modernist or avant garde, it deserves a frame to complete the picture. Likewise, eyebrows provide structure, definition, balance, and a frame to eyes and a pretty face, the objective of virtually every woman, ever since women first became aware of beauty and an attractive, appealing face.
Unless you are applying make-up designed and destined for a role on stage, in film, for a fancy dress party, or photographic purposes, it should enhance and emphasise your best facial features, whilst minimising and playing down those that are less than perfect.
Despite this individuality, there are numerous universal hints on how to apply it, so that it looks natural. Today, we focus on general, rather than specific guidelines on how to enhance your natural beauty.
Almost all facets and features of the human face vary, and yet, upon meeting someone for the first time, one usually does not observe and evaluate each individual component of the face in isolation, unless the feature is particularly unusual (pleasing or less so).
There are various options open to you and a number of directions you could follow if you believe that the human body should be regarded holistically, rather than treating any problem, condition, or ailment in isolation, as it relates to a specific area or organ.
At various stages and ages, almost invisible eyebrows were the in thing, the height of facial and make-up fashion. Brows have been thin and quite severe, courtesy of the heavy strokes of a sharp eyebrow pencil, or they are just very thin, barely there, and over-plucked. Beware of the latter, as over-plucked brows often do not grow back.
