The Buzz on Celebrity Brows

By: Angie Manson

This season, brows have a certain “wow” factor, powered by high-profile celebrity arches.  According to the pros at Boom Boom Brow Bar, clients are currently enthralled by these celeb brow shapes:

Kim Kardashian: Clients request Kim’s beautiful brow design at least once a week because it frames her face exquisitely. To create the shape, focus on the arch. Hold a brush parallel to the outside edge of the iris. At the point where the brush meets the brow, form the highest part of the arch. To help define the arch, apply a highlighter like Boom Boom Push-Up brow highlighting pencil underneath the brow, which also creates the illusion of a subtle eyelift.

Gwyneth Paltrow: Gwyneth’s secret for keeping her blond brows from fading away is a touch of tint. For best results, match the brow color to the skin and hair undertones and make sure the hue you choose is not too dark. 

Natalie Portman: The Oscar-nominee and mama-to-be is particularly striking thanks to sleek brows that frame her face perfectly. To create Natalie’s look, clean up stray hairs along the top and bottom of the arch. Use a brow gel like Boom Boom Brow-ssiere brow gel for a soft natural hold when setting the brow in place.
