BlogStar entry: threading

Competition: beautyheaven’s BlogStar promotion

There are many important things in life. Family. Health. Wealth. Knowledge. Baked Cheesecake. Rollerskates. And Eyebrows. The eyes have it baby. And perfectly shaped eyebrows frame the eyes and give a youthful lift.

So what’s the best shape? There have been many styles over the decades. Marlene Dietrich’s thin high arch. Brooke Shield’s bushy Au Naturale. Frida Kahlo’s Caterpillar (ooh the temptation for a Mono, must resist). Even as the recession hits us today, our eyebrows need not apply. Today’s shape looks more unique as it fits with the natural curve of your forehead.

Waxing. Threading. Plucking. Tweezing. Tattooing. Hedge Cutting. Dunno about you, but i am severely crapola at plucking my own eyebrows. Doesn’t matter what i do, the tweezers go bananas in my hand and pluck waaay too much.

So I leave it to the experts, and during my stint in the Middle East, I discovered eyebrow threading. Holy smokes, this is better than baked cheesecake awesome. Number One on those things you must do before being snapped by the paparazzi.

Threading is done by twisting cotton thread then rolling it along the surface of the skin. The hairs are entwined in the thread and lifted quickly from the follicle. Yes it does hurt (a little). I cannot lie. But the benefits toats outweigh the slight discomfort. Watch this eyebrow threading special on you tube. Note, great for irritable skin, or those on acne medication.

A Perfect Line is Threading Easy. Browtastic.
