The fashion industry have influenced the beauty game, completely. Throughout the 20th century, the way in which brows are styled have been tweaked, modified or enhanced every decade.

DAYTIME vs. NIGHTTIME…

During the day, you want to wear makeup thats minimal, effortless and subtle.

Entering into the night, you would preferably wear fuller coverage foundation, darker eye makeup and adding more intensity to your contouring.

Overall, you want to have your brows subtle and natural throughout the day… and appear more prominent n’ fuller throughout the night.

The image above showcase the various products that you can style your brows with… from subtly….. to a bold and prominence brow look.
