"Eyebrows are huge in Hollywood. People pay about fifty dollars a pop every month or so to get their eyebrows shaped. Now eyebrows really do, you know, they curve your whole face. They're what make your eyes look wider, so you really need to take good care of them. Maintenance is a big part of that. So I'm going to show you a little trick. It's a little cheaper than fifty dollars a month. You're going to get an eyebrow shadow. What it is is a little brown pencil, well actually, whatever color matches your brow, so if you have brown eyebrows, you get brown. If you have a blond, you're going to get a light light brown, because you don't want anything too dark, because it's going to change the shape and the color. So you're going to get a little eyebrow pencil, and they make them special--you can get them anywhere. You're going to, just like any other eye shadow, you're going to put your brush in, and very very important how you do this-- the technique. You're going to start inside out, so underneath, where you're eyebrow starts-- the arch. You are going to just follow that arch all the way across, so it's really easy. So eyebrows are really important. What we're going to do is start at the arch, which is from the inside out. You're going to start from underneath, and you're going to start here, and you're going to follow it all the way across. So whatever shape your eyebrow is, that's where the pencil is going. So don't make a fake lines above your eyebrow. You want the exact shape. So you're going to start, and you're just going to follow it across. Now what this does, is it fills in where the hair is missing. So if you get your eyebrows waxed and you have a couple, you know, two, three hairs missing, it's going to fill it in and it's going to make your brow really pop out. There we go, you can just, again just follow along the line. Don't put too much on because you don't want it to look too dark, but just enough so it follows. And then the other great part of this is there' s a highlighter. Now the highlighter tells you where you should stop with your eye shadow. So you're going to take the highlighter.. you can also use the highlighter as an eye shadow actually. So you're going to take the highlighter, and you're going to go right where you started by the brow, and that's where your light color of your eye shadow should stop. Now if you're not completely satisfied with the powder, what you can do is take a pair of tweezers and just very lightly tweeze right underneath to make that arch match the other one. Because no two eyebrows are really the same, so you really have to take good care of them and get them maintained. And tweeze a little bit right here, but don't go crazy with the tweezers because you don't want one up here and one down there. So my advice to you is take good care of your eyebrows, buy a great eyebrow liner, and you'll be set."
