HIGH BROW: CAMILLA BELLE
Though her brows are thick and dark, they’re stylish and well groomed. They "fit" her look, and provide nice contrast to her smallish eyes. Not much room for improvement right now, but as the years go by she will need to ease up on the dramatic style.


ARCH ENEMY: JENNIFER CONNELLY
While large or almond-shaped eyes can get away with bold brows, Connelly’s beautiful eyes are again too small for brows this thick and dark. Instead of upstaging her beautiful baby blues, I would recommend she wax underneath to give her eyes more breathing room.


HIGH BROW: VICTORIA BECKHAM
The fashionable Brit gets a pass on her brows: A bit skinny but nicely shaped, her brow starts to curve juuussst after the outer edge of her iris, with a gracefully stretched tail. Pretty!


ARCH ENEMY: FERGIE
Like Victoria, Stacy Ferguson has similarly slender brows. Her arches, however, seem slightly overplucked and unnaturally high. These are tricky brows because they start low and very close to her eyes which is why she is probably overcompensating by really jacking up that arch. If she were my client I would recommend waxing or plucking underneath the brow and then filling them in a bit on top rather than underneath as well as bringing that arch down. This is sort of a total re-do actually.


HIGH BROW: RIHANNA
Despite jet black hair, Rihanna’s eyebrows make a soft statement without being too pronounced.


ARCH ENEMY: KRISTEN STEWART
Stewart is stunning, but her eyebrows have unfulfilled potential. Her main misstep is that her brows start too far away from her nose bridge; while most people mistakenly believe the brow should start at the outside of the nostril, it should in fact begin where the nose bridge meets the brow bone. To find this point, use a brow brush or tweezers and hold them vertically next to your nose bridge. Stewart’s second faux pas? Uneven arches. Her right brow is slightly higher than her left, but this can be easily corrected.


HIGH BROW: MEGAN FOX
Everyone wanted her brows a few years back and they still look great today. She has robust eyebrows but not to the point of being unruly.


ARCH ENEMY: SALMA HAYEK
Hayek, like Fox, has dense fringe framing her eyes—in fact, her Brooke Shields-inspired brows were all over the spring and fall 2009 runways. That said, Hayek’s thick brows could use some taming. In particular, her brows could do with a trim on top and a little more color between the eyes where hairs are thinner.


HIGH BROW: JENNIFER ANISTON
I'm just not into bad arches, which is why Aniston gets the nod here. Not too thin and not too thick, they’re (dare I say?) perfectly arched.


ARCH ENEMY: PAMELA ANDERSON
Anderson’s barely there, pencil thin arches are not good. They make her look older in my opinion. A little thickness here, a little color there, and bam!...ten years younger.

As we fast approach the summer months, isn't it time to breathe a new life into your make up routine?

If you encounter a pool or beach this summer, what could be more desirable than subtle make up that doesn’t smudge, run, or bleed? I can define and enhance your facial features including eyes, lips and eyebrows.

Embrace this season's catwalk trends. A precise lip shape is certainly the way forward. Consider this the beauty equivalent to the Birkin handbag. Add dimension and volume to the lip area and choose a perfect shade that matches your skin tone to perfection; a subtle hue with a crisp border definition for the perfect pout.

Choose from a gorgeous selection of eyeliner treatments; the only way to combat the dreaded 'panda' eyes after a dip in the pool. From a subtle eyeliner to a thicker, more dramatic liner, choose the perfect finish and ensure you go through summer looking and feeling fantastic.

So subtle no one knows it’s there, permanent makeup is the best-kept secret of the world’s most beautiful women. Its ability to create beauty that is indistinguishable from a woman’s natural gifts has earned permanent makeup the distinguished award of Best Aesthetic Facial Procedure in American Health & Beauty’s 2010 Readers’ Choice Awards. The overwhelming popularity of permanent cosmetics among American Health & Beauty readers earned it a spot in the Top 5 Most Popular Procedures of 2010 in the online magazine’s annual survey of best surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures. Other cosmetic procedures chosen as top beauty performers were SmartLipo, CoolSculpting, Thermage and Botox.

The popularity of permanent cosmetics is founded in its unique transformative power to improve and enhance a woman’s natural beauty around the clock. The time-saving secret of high-powered women who exude a perpetual aura of perfection, permanent makeup ensures that a woman’s appearance is always fresh, beautiful and flawless whether she’s making a presentation in the board room or dancing the night away. Permanent makeup allows women to move through the day — and night — with complete confidence, secure in the knowledge that they always look their best.

The key to indiscernible permanent cosmetics that enhance personal beauty to maximum effect lies in the artistry and technical skill of the permanent makeup artist. A nationally-recognized leader and innovator in the field of permanent makeup, Erik Berntsen combines the discerning eye of a professionally-trained artist with unmatched technical skill to enhance the beauty of his very satisfied clients.

If you’re getting ready to say “I do” to your man, I’ve got some news to share on why you might want to think about “Saying Eye Do” to the addition of eyelash extensions. Eyelash extensions offer a bevy of benefits for any bride-to-be and it’s tough to narrow the list.
I asked Xtreme Lashes President Jo Mousselli to give me her perspective, as a professional woman with an always full schedule, on the top 5 reasons eyelash extensions are indispensible additions for busy brides:

 1 – Save Time (Pre-wedding):
Wedding preparation is hectic! There’s so much to accomplish and there never seems to be enough time for the bride to get to everything. Eyelash extensions are a great time saver! Brides can skip the morning makeup routine and make it to all their errands that much faster all while still looking fabulous!

2 – Save Face (Pre-wedding):
Stress and lack of sleep plague many a bride-to-be during the weeks leading up to the wedding. Eyelash extensions can create a well-rested, wide-eyed appearance and help disguise any signs of stress or sleep deprivation that often show on the face.

3 – Stay Fresh (Day of):
The actual wedding day is typically quite long for brides. Preparations begin early in the morning and celebrations last late into the night. With eyelash extensions, brides are photo-ready throughout the entire day with no need to stop for cosmetic touch-ups!

4 – Stay Flawless (Day of):
There’s nothing worse than a beautiful bride sporting raccoon circles of mascara around her eyes. Since just about every bride tears up at her wedding, eyelash extensions are the ideal solution to prevent any mascara mishaps!

5 – Set Sail (Post-wedding):
Starting out a wedding in eyelash extensions extends into the honeymoon. For brides planning any post-wedding trips, eyelash extensions are the perfect travel companion. New wives can enjoy all the extracurricular activities at their exotic destination of choice with no fuss & no muss and still look absolutely fabulous!
