Tips On How To Shape Your Eye Brows

The colour and shape of our eyebrows greatly affects the way we look especially ladies.There are different ways in which you can shape your4 eyebrows including:
  • Shaving
  • Tweezing 
  • Waxing
  • Threading
Shaving.
It is the simplest and cheapest of all methods but is also the most uneffective.Shaving eyebrows is very temporary and requires that you keep doing it within two or three weeks.The other disadvantage of shaving is the risk of missing the line and getting an irregular finish.
The eyebrow area is very sensitive and can easily get infected during shaving.If you have to shave it is advisable to go to a beautician.You should also not shave if you have acne or any skin infections around the eyebrows.

Tweezing.
Tweezing is a semi-permanent solution to your eyebrows.Tweezed eyebrows ca remain neat for even up to three months.The process involves plucking the hairs using a tweezer.Tweezing should also be done  by a
beautician.When plucking the hairs, pluck them one by one to avoid over plucking.You should also use an eyebrowpencil to guide you on which ones to pluck and which ones should be left.

Waxing
Waxing is also semi permanent and can stay up to three months.It involves applying wax on the hairs you want to pluck then removing the wax.The wax pulls the hairs from the roots.Waxing very long hair is more painful so you are advised to shorten the hair first.However,very short hair is not pulled by wax so don't trim it too much .This process is quite painful and risky so it should only be performed by a qualified beautician.
People suffering from diabetes and other chronic illnesses are advised against waxing as they are more prone to infections.
It is also advised that you don't wet the waxed area  until 12 hours after the process to avoid any infections.
After waxing ,use oil to remove the remaining wax.

 Threading.
 Threading uses a string to remove hair.It is also semi permanent like waxing but is less painful and has fewer risks.It involves almost no contact with the skin and so it is the safest for people with sensitive skin.Unlike waxing,you don't also come to contacts with any chemicals.Many people are now turning to threading because they don't have to spend a day with red spots around their eyes like what happens with waxing.With threading,no one has to know that you did your eyebrows.


Eyebrow Shaping Tip:
Before shaping your eyebrows,use eyebrow pencil to draw different shapes .

Where Does Kate middleton get Her Clothes?

Many of us (especially women) get so amazed when we see Kate Middleton walking so graciously and looking so chic.Am one of her fans and I took my time to find out just how and where she shops for her clothes.
This is what I found out :

Kate's wardrobe ranges from very expensive designer clothes to simple elegant clothes bought along high street stores.
She doesn't have specific designer from whom she buys her clothes from but is known to wear zara and Izza brands on many occasions.The first outfit she actually wore after her wedding was from Zara.

Other places where you might find her shopping are :Top Shop, Primark, Banana Republic, Warehouse, and Reiss.

I have also found out that Kate is really simple with make up and jewelery .
She has taken up the high street style of dressing and the future queen has really gotten it right with this fashion.
