Eyebrow Transplants - Overplucked Brows Be Gone!

Email thisPosted Nov 17th 2008 at 11:07AM by Kristen Seymour

Eyebrow Transplants

We've all been there. You pluck one eyebrow, and then you do the other, but they're not quite even. So, you pluck a few strays off the fuller one, and then clean up the other ... and suddenly, you look permanently surprised for the next month or two while they grow back in. Unless you're super handy with the eyebrow pencil, but even then, you'd better hope you don't get invited to a pool party. So what's the obvious solution? Eyebrow transplants!

Okay, in all honesty, if the overplucking is a one-time event, this probably isn't for you. However, if you've been plucking and waxing for years, or are lacking brows for any other reason, this could be an option.

Bosley offers eyebrow transplants as a simple procedure, and their before and after photos are pretty convincing (read on to see some of them). However, since we have no trouble growing full, Brooke Shields-esque brows, we'll have to pass. As a matter of fact, we're off to ward off a unibrow right now.

Patient Kelly Becker was born with almost no brow hair, so she underwent the "Restore" treatment.

Here's her after photo -- it certainly looks better to us. What do you think?

Patient Leone Izumi was trying the "restore" treatment to undo some of the damage she'd done through plucking over the years.

Her brows are certainly more shapely. The question is: Are better brows worth surgery?

Tip of the day: Removing over eye caterpillars, also known as your eyebrows

Sure the eyebrow shape your mama gave you is just the right one for your face. That doesn't mean there isn't a little clean up involved to keep them looking right.

It's a sad fact that some people go so insane with plucking that they have to paint their eyebrows on (why, why, why!?) while others are so unkempt that their uni-brow can be seen from space.

At home brow grooming

anastasia limited edition eyebrow grooming kit

Let's face it waxing can be a drag. It's not the pain that gets me -- I actually enjoy that part -- it's everything leading up the waxing that is painful. Finding the time in the day to schedule an appointment, driving across town to go to the salon, and don't even get me started on the money. So it's always nice to have a cheaper at home alternative to getting lovely brows.

At home eyebrow grooming can be a dangerous thing without the proper tools. If you aren't careful you can walk away with uneven and over-plucked brows, which are mistakes that take time to grow back. That is why eyebrow waxer to the stars, Anastasia, has created a line that helps you achieve professional results at home.

I had been eying Anastasia's products for some time at my local Sephora. The thought of not having to be a slave to the salon was quite appealing. What wasn't appealing was the price tag on Anastasia's kit. Her most popular kit for $75 includes; tweezers, brow powder, four brow stencils, duo angle brush, brow gel, and a highlighting pencil. Sure, that seems like a lot of stuff, but what I really wanted was the stencils and a great pair of tweezers.

So today when I opened my Sephora Insider's email I was delighted to see a brand new limited edition kit from Anastasia for only $45. The kit includes a pair of tweezers, miniature scissors, and four stencils all in an adorable case – perfection.

I tested out the kit this evening and was pleased as punch. Since this kit didn't have the brow powder, I simply used a bit of white eye shadow and plucked and snipped the areas that weren't "shadowed". I will admit I did get a little pluck happy and now have a tiny bald spot, but it was nothing a little brow filler couldn't fix.

Practice definitely makes perfect with any at home brow grooming, but I do believe that this will help cut down on my visits to the salon.

Permanent makeup - StyleDo or StyleDon't?

Email thisPosted Nov 6th 2006 at 7:31AM by Elise Carter

I'm beginning to think I should buy stock in Maybelline Great Lash Mascara. Being a natural blonde has some perks, but they don't include lush, dark lashes; and, unless the no-eyelashes look becomes all the rage, I am going to have to keep buying mascara.

Or am I? More and more women are turning to permanent makeup for the look, convenience, and ease the procedure supposedly provides. I'll admit, the thought of a) having tattoo needles on my face, and b) wearing the same makeup style for the rest of my life has always made me grimace. But upon further investigation, permanent makeup might not be all bad.

Many women have extremely sensitive skin, and are not able to wear much, if any, makeup on a regular basis. Other women suffer from shaky hands or nearsightedness, and are unable to apply makeup satisfactorily. Still others (like myself) have very blonde eyelashes and/or eyebrows and might benefit from a permanent dye-job.

There are risks, including sterility concerns and potentially dangerous color additives. But all in all, the procedure seems to be gaining speed.

What do you think? Would permanent makeup improve your beauty routine?
