The update: The key to doing bronzer right is picking a powder that’s just one or two shades darker than your skin tone, so it'll look natural instead of radioactive.

Read MoreDo…
Be in a well lit room with a mirror
Avoid hand mirrors, one should be able to see both eyes at all times
Free from distractions, give your brows the attention they deserve
The warmer, the less painful
It’s important to note that before attempting to do your brows on your own, the skin needs to be plain, clean, and particularly warm. Taking a warm shower or using a warm washcloth is advised because with warm skin comes open pores, so the pain usually inhibited while doing your brows is minimized entirely. I find that morning time is the best, right after a shower with the light is at its peak. Waiting until the end of the day could be risky, as we’ve all had long days that seem to lead to a surprise Zoom Cocktail hour is going to lead to a potentially scary situation. The skin should be free of any product, oil, or cream, which may, in turn, result in irritation of the skin or over/under plucking in areas in which they do not need to be plucked. I would recommend a good micellar water to ensure the skin is clean before starting into your brows.

Dramatized in the 40’s by Joan Crawford, famous Mommy Dearest, was the queen of dramatic brows. Shortly after, Marilyn Monroe, American icon, had the ideal brow that was both full and wide set while simultaneously short and heavily arched. Brooke Shields had big and powerful brows in the 80's, followed by the super skinny brows of the 90's. These powerful women in America didn’t let their brows fall short as they’re both prominent and powerful features of the face. These women have laid the foundation for what would become the brow obsession today’s women have found themselves lost in trying to obtain the optimal, yet not overdone, brows that we see in all of Kim Kardashian West’s selfies.
