Benefit - Raising Eyebrows

Eyebrows are my current obsession, mainly because mine are so light, and sparse, and on the left I had a piercing that left a scar!
The style currently is more of a full brow, though in the past it was a nice thin brow. There are people today who plucked their beautiful "Brook Shields  brows as a teen and now find they can't grow them back. My own mother had her brows TATTOO'D on! 
There are groupons for Brow Waxing, Brow Serums, Brow Dying, Brow Shaping etc. 
Brows are IMPORTANT! 

This is a book by Benefit, that gives you all the in's and out's in the brow world. It describes with pictures, how to shape your brow and work with what you have. It's also got a TON of tongue in cheek snark which I absolutely enjoyed!:) 
I think this would make a wonderful gift for another Makeup lover in your life!


"Sadly, Eyebrows are the unloved and neglected Stepchildren of the facial features. Why? Not because eyes and lips are better! They just demand more attention. The typical eyebrow is simply misunderstood. Most people--- even the makeup savvy and the cosmetic queen--- don't take the time to really get to know their brows and understand their needs. It's time to change all that. It's time for every man, woman and child to accept that brows are real and they need your love and attention."*


"DONT' DO ANY SOUL-SEARCHING IN YOUR BROWS.
Let's be clear, Brows are important --- but not that important. Sure, they can make you look great, but they can't solve your life's problems. If you're placing too much emphasis on your eyebrows, you're at risk of seriously overtweezing.
Never search for the meaning of life in your brows
Never search for your next job/boyfriend/apartment in your brows
Never search for unconditional love in your brows!"*
