2 strong brow looks from pixiwoo:

pixiwoos' strong brow look with red lips

strong brow and red lips. i love the red lips look.

pixiwoos' strong brow look

another strong brow look.

i used to have thick brows when i was teenager. i looked like drag queen when i filled in my brows. of course it was mostly due to the lack of skill. i stayed away doing anything with my brows because i could never get it right.

then i had permanent makeup on my brows and i didn't have to worry anything about them. it's the best thing i did. it made me realized how nicely shaped brow lifts the look. it saves so much makeup time. and they act as guide to pluck my brows.

the tattoo has now faded. you can still see it faintly but i look like i have no brows from a distant. so it's true that brows don't grow back after excessive plucking. i've been thinking about getting it re-done because i spend too much time filling them in. but i've been procrastinating... for 2+ years...

after watching these tutorials i was glad i didn't tattoo the brows. because i can change their shapes!

but... it's not easy!

thought the tattoo has faded, they're still there. it's hard to change the shape. i mean yes, maybe. but it requires too much work. i don't have such luxury in busy mornings.

in addition, not only my brows are not twins, they are completlely different siblings! one is obviously higher than the other. it just makes the brow work more difficult. and i just couldn't make them shape as nicely as in the tutorials.

the look of last week

i did a strong brow look and planned to make a look of the day post. however i wasn't happy with how the pictures came out. so the whole of last week was my experiement with strong brow looks.

the main focus was on the brows. dark brows. light neutral colors on the eyes, cheeks and lips. i can't remember the exact products used. (does it matter?)

bold brow look

the dark brown brow look.

strong brows - brown

the light brown brow look. this does not flatter me! they look so fake because it's obviously not my natural hair color. i looked washed out.

strong brows black

the black brow look. i managed to make them less arched.

i thought the 2nd one (light brown brows) looked nice on you. brows shouldn't be too overpowering. it should go well with your hair and your skin color. your brows from previous post looked a lot like the light brown which i thought was nice.

light brown looks good on thinner brows. i was trying to do thick brows here so it didn't look too good.
