Emmy's Eyebrows.

For a little recap on the Emmy awards - I have to bring attention to the eyebrows of our various young tv starlets.

I love these ladies - but what happened to their eyebrows? Is a little shaping of the eyebrow not a part of their beauty routine anymore? Where was Elke (our own beauty blogging eyebrow queen)?

Case in point:

She could have used a little trim here.

Just a little more off the bottom, please.

Has she even heard of tweezers?

Ladies - I so hate to criticize, but these women spend hours to get ready and have so many "pros" available at their disposal. I just don't know how these brows could have been overlooked.

Back to School Beauty - Tweezlight!

So- you are in your dorm room, with not the best of lighting, and your brows need some major plucking. What to do, what to do...

Well, introduce yourself to Tweezlight. A handy new tweezer with a bright white light built right in. It is like having your very own personal brow spotlight.

The tweezers are made from a rustproof stainless steel, with spring tension and a precision sharp point. The bright LED white light provides a clear view of the smallest and finest hair, normally invisible to the naked, unlit eye. And they come in your choice of gold or silver finishes. Oh, and each pair comes with three additional batteries, so you know you will be in the light for years to come.

Tweezlight tweezers range in price from $9.95 - $19.99 and can be ordered at tweezlight.com.

It's All About the Brows.

I have been a fan of Anastasia Beverly Hills - the queen of eyebrows - for a few years now. Her tweezers are the best. Gosh, I use them almost everyday. I am really liking one of her kits. It is the All About Brows kit - made exclusively for Sephora.

This set has 6 great tools to groom even the hairiest of brows, including my favorite tweezers. It also has a Brow Powder Duo, four Brow Stencils, a Duo Angle/Spooley Brush, a Brow Gel, and an Eye Lights highlighting pencil.

The Brow Powder goes on very nice and smooth with the angle brush, and I am happy that it comes in two shades -there is not one perfect shade for everyone, you know.

The other side of the brush is easy to use to groom the brows into place before using the Brow Gel. The gel is clear, and dries quickly, with no sticky or tight feeling left behind.

The highlighting pencil is a perfect addition to the set, and it's used directly under the brow, at the top of the brow bone to accent that area. It totally softens the entire brow look.

While I personally don't like Brow Stencils, I can see the need for them for the inept brow groomer. (Don't you just hate seeing a beautiful woman with overplucked brows?).

All About Brows is $75 (eek - you do get a lot for the high price) and comes in three color coordinated kits: Ash Blonde, Medium Ash, and Ash Brunette.
