Now, to prepare, if you plan to do waxing, do not exfoliate or use AHA anything a few days before and after your appointment. This will spare your skin around your brows! Also, if you are sensitive to pain, take a motrin an hour before. The pain from waxing is not that bad but just in case you are sensitive, it helps. <br /><br />I use MAC's Brow Crayon in Spiked and I love it. Like you stated, I think mine lasts longer since the tinting does the trick. I just use it to maintain shape and color. Now, before I did tinting, I was totally going through pencils like crazy!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-61652512239620616652013-04-24T11:15:58.853-07:002013-04-24T11:15:58.853-07:00I set up an appointment to have my brows tinted; I...I set up an appointment to have my brows tinted; I'll report back after my appointment :-)<br /><br />I have tried MAC's brow pencil in Lingering and liked the color quite a lot--I just wish there was more product as I seemed to use it up very quickly. Although perhaps it will last longer once my brows are tinted as I won't need to use as much product!

It is so great to wake up and look in the mirror and see brows! lol! <br /><br />For some reason, brow products tend to contain more of a warm base hence the orange color. I think the color also oxidizes due to oils on the skin. Even high-end products like Anatasia Beverly Hills Brow Pen in Universal Deep turns russet on me. It goes on a dark brown and turns reddish when I use a brow setting product. The best brow products are Make Up For Ever Aqua Brow and MAC Brow Crayon. The color in Lingering would be a great match for you! When I was a pale blond in 2006, that was my shade and it paired well with my light hair color!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-43562512012885184702013-04-18T15:48:59.400-07:002013-04-18T15:48:59.400-07:00I completely agree with you--brows and lips can ma...I completely agree with you--brows and lips can make or break a vintage look!<br /><br />I still need to try having my brows tinted as I think it would make a big difference. I need to remember to book an appointment the next time I go to the salon! <br /><br />I recently began using a brow pencil by VanityMark (I think I saw it for sale at the Pin Up Girl booth) and it has to be one of the best pencils I have ever used. Very long lasting and the color Blondie is an excellent match, providing I use a light hand (they make a lighter color, Blondest, for platinum blondes, but it strangely turns orangey on me.)<br />Jitterbugdollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00659563812074455023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-26662888098607840862013-04-12T08:29:50.509-07:002013-04-12T08:29:50.509-07:00Oh, thank you for your very kind comments!

Let me tell you, I see so many nice suits here in DC that get ruined by poor tailoring or a complete lack thereof! I recently spotted a woman on the Metro (our subway) wearing an attractive charcoal heather pant suit but it was destroyed by the fact her pants were so tight, the pockets ballooned out and I could see ((cringe)) the outline of her underwear. If a gorgeous suit is ruined by fit, then do not wear it. Wear clothes that fit and flatter, DC!

It was too harsh against my pale skin! I felt like they were done ala sharpie! lol! Not cute!<br /><br />I get my brows tinted with a dark brown shade that lasts about 4-5 weeks. Without that tint, my brows practically look non-existent. <br /><br />I have seen period movies were the actresses have modern brows with vintage red lips. Uh, no. Do these makeup artists know how to use reference and/or do research! Heck, google around for an hour and you can get a good grasp of how vintage brows should look! Naomi Watts in Peter Jackson's "King Kong" and Jennifer Connelly in "The Rocketeer" were the worst! Terrible brows for period films!<br /><br /><br /><br />Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-78417863451189454692013-04-09T06:19:41.990-07:002013-04-09T06:19:41.990-07:00Now that is what I call a stunning pair of eyebrow...Now that is what I call a stunning pair of eyebrows!<br /><br />I agree about the importance of brows in an overall look - they frame your face and can become a key feature in themselves (think of Cara Devaligne!)<br /><br />www.mancunianvintage.comHelen Le Caplainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00750674471553741119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-21857845368545052112013-04-08T14:57:30.169-07:002013-04-08T14:57:30.169-07:00Your brows look amazing!That is the first thing I ...Your brows look amazing!That is the first thing I notice on people is their brows and shoes.art deco damehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08918869259278566485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-29753736667677327732013-04-08T13:10:48.032-07:002013-04-08T13:10:48.032-07:00Lol.

Now that I've got lighter hair I've used a lighter brown to shade in my eyebrows. I've also dyed my eyebrows to match my hair and, although I love the way it looks, it only lasts a couple of weeks. Shading is so much easier on the skin and hair follicle.<br /><br />I agree that eyebrows and lips make or break a retro/pin up look. If you don't get either they whole look is off.Mariela Santillanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05293755332845325555noreply@blogger.com
