While nobody is perfect, it's not unreasonable to want to look as impeccable as possible. However, according to Real Simple magazine, there are a few common beauty mistakes that may be keeping you from creating a flawless face.
If concealer is applied too soon after moisturizer, the creamy lotion can cause the concealer to thin out, which can result in blotchiness and limit the amount of coverage the product provides, makeup artist Laura Geller told the news source.
Instead, wait for your skin to absorb the moisturizer (roughly 60 seconds) or, if you're in a rush, blot your face with a tissue and apply concealer.
When plucking eyebrows, be careful not to stand too close to the mirror, as the news source reports that this causes women to pay more attention to each hair, and not the overall shape of the arch, which can result in uneven brows.
Beauty expert Ramy Gafni suggests using a large mirror near a window, standing close to the mirror to tweeze and taking a few steps back after every few hairs to survey the symmetry and shape of your brows.

Common beauty mistakes to avoid
Thursday, September 23rd, 2010Bold brows are hot for fall
Tuesday, August 31st, 2010
Make no mistakes about it – this fall, bold brows are in. However, the look can be a tricky one too master, as there is a fine line between Brooke Shields-like arches and Groucho Marx brows. Luckily, creating fuller arches doesn’t have to difficult, as long as you follow a bit of expert advice.
Before you begin, make sure your brows are well groomed. Use Tweezerman Slant Tweezers to clean-up the shape of your arches and remove any stray hairs.
Next, you are ready to begin applying color. “Brush brows upwards then lightly draw dashes to fill in gaps that are between your natural hairs using a brow pencil…that is one shade lighter than your natural hairs,” StyleList.com reports. Follow by using an angled brush to apply a powder that is the same color as your brows to deepen arches.
Finally, finish by dusting brows with a bit of gold eyeshadow, as the news source reveals that the shimmery powder will make brows appear fuller.
While this new trend may be surprising to some, many women may want to give it a try. “I think that brows are one of the most important features of the face,” celebrity makeup artist Molly Stern told the website. “In a bold brow lies the strength and character of the face.”
How to create fuller, natural-looking brows with a pencil
Tuesday, August 24th, 2010
While some women are blessed with naturally full brows, other ladies require the assistance of makeup to enhance sparse arches. Unfortunately, it’s no secret that crafting defined yet natural-looking arches can be difficult.
However, when armed with the right products, filling in your brows can be relatively simple.
Let the color of your arches determine the shade of brow pencil you select. According to O Magazine, ladies who possess light-colored brows should opt for a pencil that is two shades darker than their hair color, and those who have dark arches should use one that is two shades lighter.
Lightly line the upper and lower edge of your arches with a pencil, and fill-in your brow with short strokes, the publication advises. Next, run a spoolie – a wiry brush, similar to an unused mascara wand – over brows to soften and blend the color. Finish by brushing on a clear brow gel or mascara to keep the color from smudging.
GloMinerals gloPrecision Brow Pencil is available in four shades and features a spoolie on one end. If your pencil does not include a brush, however, the news source recommends using Tweezerman Brow Shaping Brush.
Do-it-yourself solutions for removing unwanted hair
Thursday, August 5th, 2010
Hair removal can be overwhelming for women, especially when tackling the delicate areas of one’s face. From eyebrows to upper lips, what are the best, do-it-yourself ways to rid skin of excess hair?
According to Allure.com, eyebrows can be easily maintained with simple tweezing, as long as you have the right tools at your disposal – a white pencil and a good pair of tweezers.
“Hold the pencil against the side of your nose and put a line where it hits your eyebrow,” the website suggests. “Tilt the pencil diagonally so it touches the outer corner of your eye and mark that spot [as these will be your brows' parameters]…Finally, put a dot just above the outside of your iris – that should be the highest point of your arch.”
Once you have connected the dots and marked your brows, use a sturdy but precise pair of tweezers, such as Tweezerman Slant Tweezers.
To eliminate superfluous upper lip hair, women could easily wax stray strands away, but the news source reminds women to stick to low-temperature products intended specifically for facial use, as wax kits designed for other body parts can burn the face. Moom Express Pre Waxed Strips for Face & Bikini require no additional heating as the product melts with your body temperature and comes with a cucumber and jojoba finishing oil to soothe and moisturize skin.
Get fuller-looking eyebrows like Whitney Port
Thursday, July 29th, 2010
When it comes to brow maintenance, ladies are often worried about finding the best ways to trim down their arches. But what about women with sparse brows? Whether they are naturally thin, or a result of accidental over-tweezing, girls seeking thicker arches may want to take a hint from reality starlet Whitney Port.
According to Glamour.com, Port’s makeup artist uses Talika Eyebrow Extender on The City’s leading lady, to give her brows a boost. The formula is packed with natural-looking fibers that fill in bare patches and stay put all day. While each shade boasts clear gel, the fibers come in three separate hues, to match any woman’s coloring.
However, ladies with sparse eyebrows may not have a defined arch to use as a guide when applying the product. Those who would like a bit of assistance can use Colorescience Eyebrow Stencil, which is available in three different shapes, as a guideline when creating the perfect arch.
Even women with thin eyebrows have the occasional stray hair that must be eliminated. Tweezerman Point Tweezers boast hand-filed tips engineered to grab even the finest hairs.
Let your face shape influence your arches
Friday, July 16th, 2010
Grooming one’s brows is an important part of creating an overall great look, but many women may not know that they should sculpt their brows according to their face shape. Luckily, Glamour.com released some insider tips to help women find their most flattering arches.
Women with a round face should aim to frame their visage with thicker, more angular brows to deemphasize fullness and provide balance. But, when crafting the perfect arch, beware of over-plucking – a too-tweezed brow does not give the appearance of a thinner face!
Those with a heart or square-shape should opt for a different approach. Because their faces already boast exquisite angles, ladies should create softer, more delicate brows.
Finally, girls with oval faces have a bit more freedom, as they can pull off medium or full brows and prominent arches, but should remember to pluck evenly to maintain symmetry.
The right tools can make creating perfect brows a breeze, and products from Tweezerman will help you to pluck perfectly. Tweezerman Slant Tweezers are angled to provide a comfortable grip, but those with finer hairs may prefer the Point Tweezers for increased accuracy.
To craft the perfect shape, Tweezerman Facial Hair Scissors can be used to precisely trim longer hairs.
Tweezerman tweezers and the right techniques make great eyebrows easy
Tuesday, June 29th, 2010
Many women are borderline fanatical when it comes to keeping their eyebrows perfectly groomed. Some have standing appointments with their waxers that are never (under any circumstances) missed, while others choose to attend to their brows themselves.
For ladies who dare to pluck their own arches, there are a few simple ways to assure that their eyes look just as striking as those of the women who choose to be professionally tweezed, waxed or threaded.
One of the golden rules of plucking your own brows is to be certain that you only pluck from the bottom – pulling from the top may make it difficult to keep the natural shape of your brow line, which should be flattering to your face and features.
Most experts recommend tweezing from just above your eyelid and up toward your arch. While well-groomed eyebrows are attractive, overly thin may be just as bad as overgrown, so don’t go overboard!
After you’re done, brush a swab of antiseptic over the area to reduce redness or inflammation, and to keep blemishes from popping up.
Using the right tools can also be extremely helpful. A pair of high-quality tweezers, like Tweezerman tweezers, will allow for precise plucking, which may reduce skin irritations.
Eyebrow Care and Makeup Techniques
Friday, January 5th, 2007Eyes are naturally shaped and categorized into three categories: oval, round and slanted. Then they are subcategorized into smaller groups including small eyes, large eyes, hooded eyes, deep-set eyes and wide set eyes. Eye shape does not play a huge role in shaping your eyebrows. Your eyebrow should look well groomed and not too thick or too thin.
The best place to start when shaping your eyebrow is to look in the mirror and determine where you brow begins. Hold a pencil vertically against the out side of one nostril, where the pencil hits your brow is where the brow should start. Do the same on the other side. Then hold the pencil again at the outward nostril and aim it vertically to the outer corner of your eye, this is where your brow should stop. You never want to have “bushy eyebrows” but over tweezing can be detrimental. Your eyebrows can change the look of your entire face and expression, so tweeze carefully. If aren’t sure about it go to a professional and have them start the shape for you and you can keep them maintained at home.
Tips about Eye Makeup
Tuesday, October 17th, 2006Your eyes can be one of the most important parts of your face. Some experts believe your eyes are the focal point. If your eyes are done correctly then everything else will fall into place.
Women with smaller eyes should use a light shade over the entire lid and add only a minimal amount of a darker shade in the outer corners. Light colors can make your eyes look larger. Dark shades tend to make eyes look tiny. Try to never line or put mascara underneath eyes as this can tend to make eyes look smaller. Using a natural looking brow pencil on groomed eyebrows and filling in may also make your eyes look more expressive.
Five Tips to Make Your Eyes Look Younger
Friday, September 15th, 20061. Reduce fine lines. Apply a very small amount of eye cream on the brow bone and under the eye. Then, dab on a concealer that correctly matches your skin tone. Blend and even with a concealer brush. The final step is to line the eye with a white pencil directly beneath the lash line. Then, blend well with fingertips. This gives the impression of a wider and brighter eye.
2. Shade eyes with shadow and apply from the inner eye corner outward. Make sure to always blend up and outward. Highlight just under brows with a lighter, shimmery shade like taupe. Use at least two shades of shadow to define the eye.
3. Gently line with liquid eyeliner, brush or pencil, drawing a skinny line along lashes directly next to roots. For a softer and more natural look soften with fingertip or Q-tip.
4. Brush brows out and upward. Carefully trim any additional hair just above the top of your natural arch. Look carefully at the shape. The brow should begin at your inner eye, peak at the outer edge of your iris and stop at the outer corner of your eye. Hold a pencil in line with the outer side of your iris and check where the peak of your arch naturally occurs. From the arch all the way to the outer corner of the eye is where your brow should fall in a straight or slightly curved line, depending on the look you´re trying to get.
5. Never sleep in your make-up as this can make your lashes dry out and become brittle. Keep your head elevated when you sleep, to try to keep fluid from settling around your eyes.
