The Thick Bushy Brow Trend

Jennifer Connolly looks great with the thicker brow.
So this new bushy brow trend seems to be the craze these days. Everywhere I look that is all I see! Women sporting thicker, bushier, straighter(less arch) brows.
This Model could thicken her brow and still look good because of her strong jawline.

Brooke Sheilds brought the thick brow into trend!
While it may look good on SOME women, I really think it is rather unflattering on most! Sorry ladies. But an undefined, bushy eyebrow on the wrong face shape (for many it is) turns out to look not so right.


Sorry, this model has too thick brows for her face shape. Not flattering.

Bushy eyebrows- the CORRECT face shape- someone with a STRONG jaw line, and a more square shaped face. So Kyle from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, or Brooke Shields, or Bethanney, all who have a strong jaw line and a square shaped face- they can rock the bushy brow and make it look good.

Thick brows look good on Kiera Knightly because she has a wide jaw line.
But if you have a narrow, round, or long face, the bushy brow is not for you! The important focus will have to be on SHAPE and ARCH, even if you want a thicker brow.

Even with a thicker brow, Megan Fox still gets arch-y in her brow.


Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan also does a nice arch.
Beyonce arches and shapes her brows just right!





Halle's delicate long face is complimented by her shaped, arched brows.
  Getting the right tweezer, or having someone do it for you, whether its threading, waxing, or tweezing can give you the best brow look for your face. To further define your brow, many beauty brands have brow liners & brow definers like brow gel enhancers. Just take a brush, dab, and fill in your brow once you have given it the right shape.

Even Oprah has said, "Your eyebrows change your face." Getting the right brow will give you the best look for your face. The end-results will enhance your face and your beauty, giving you that extra edge of fabulous-ness!

Be Cruelty-FREE!! Cruelty-Free Makeup Is the Way to Go!

Think of a bunny. Harmless, cute, fluffy, soft, white- bunny rabbits. Yes, those adorable, nose-twiching creatures- they are PREY to many BIG-time cosmetic companies out there. As adorable as they are, they are the ones, along with rats, who get tested on products, injected into their eyes, rubbed onto their bare skin after being shaven, and these poor animals are tested on while pregnant.

"While testing cosmetics such as lipstick and shampoo on animals was banned in the European Union in 2009, elsewhere around the world animal suffering for cosmetics continues. Rabbits still have chemicals dripped into their eyes or rubbed into their shaved skin, and rodents still have substances forced down their throats or injected into their blood to observe toxic effects. Even pregnant animals are dosed with chemicals to test the effects on their unborn babies. These tests cause suffering and ultimately death - just to produce a new shade of lip-gloss or a reformulated skin cream."( Mark Jones, http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/mark-jones/animal-testing-ugly-secret-of-beauty_b_1454715.html).

Although  Europe is on its way to completely banning animal-tested products(they are planning to ban everything animal tested by March 2013), the US and Canada are still not strict, and have flex guidelines that do not prohibit such testing.

Cruelty-free companies like Glam Girl Naturals Cosmetics and LUSH use ingredients that they already know are safe, and thus have no need for testing on animals. If any cruelty-free companies need to test, they use the EpiDerm artificial human skin model.

However, if companies insist on using 'new to the world' ingredients without existing data and for which non-animal tests are not yet available, the 'need' for animal tests can be triggered. For these companies, the solution is simple: avoid new ingredients until their safety can be assured using strictly non-animal methods.


There are a good amount of CRUELTY-FREE beauty brands out there which include: Glam Girl Naturals Cosmetics, LUSH, Urban Decay, Dermalogica, Liz Earle, Marks & Spencer, Faith In Nature, and Paul Mitchell. These are SOME of the cruelty-free beauty brands out there, and you can visit PETA's website(www.peta.org) to learn more about cruelty-free beauty brands.

Companies that are NOT cruelty-free include big names like: L'Occitane, L'oreal, Revlon, Mary Kay, Avon, Lancome, Yardley, Clinique, Johnson & Johnson, Givenchy, Lancome, Estee Lauder,  Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Dior, Chanel, Proctor & Gamble, Garnier, FCUK, and many others.


It is a sad fact that these big name beauty brands continue to animal test- and be cruel to animals- even though there are equally effective alternatives out there.

We hope that the list of CRUELTY-FREE COSMETICS will continue to grow, and more and more consumers gravitate towards a healthier, kinder, and more eco-friendly choice by purchasing CRUELTY-FREE beauty products.
