Brow Know-How
The right brow shape can make you look younger, thinner, livelier, more awake, and even more approachable. Here are a few simple brow-grooming moves that make a major impact on your overall look.
Your arch should peak just above the outer edge of your iris.
Use a slanted edge tweezer to pluck hairs one at a time in the direction that they grow. Going against the growth pattern can cause breakage and ingrowns.
When plucking, stop after every four hairs to examine your progress. This can prevent you from over tweezing.
Use brow powder or pencil to fill in sparse areas. Apply it using light, feathery strokes for a natural soft look.
Always comb your eyebrows upward to give your face an instant lift and enhance the shape of your arch.
Whiten Up!
Brighten your smile with these quick tips from New York City dentist Dr. Michael Apa.
* Wear a cool toned lipstick or gloss shade like bordeaux, plum or cherry. The blue undertones offset any yellow in your teeth, creating the optical illusion of a whiter smile.
* Try an at-home teeth whitening kit. “Look for systems with the active bleaching ingredients hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide,†says Apa. Make sure you keep the whitening solution on your teeth for at least 30 minutes during each session to get the full benefits.
* Professional power bleaching combines a topical whitening gel with a high intensity laser to get dramatic results in a matter of hours. But it comes at a hefty price tag, which is about $500 a pop. Ask your dentist for more details.
