‘If your eye pencil is a bit hard…heat the end with a match to warm it…allow to cool briefly then apply to inner eyes…it makes the kohl really soft and will result in a thicker, denser amount of product being applied so will last longer and look wowza!’
Lee Pyecroft, Make-up Artist

'A well-defined brow instantly adds polish and strength to a woman’s face. When shaping brows for the first time I recommend consulting a professional – they will create the best shape for your face.
Perfect Brows
If you decide you can go it alone, take it easy, start with a great pair of tweezers, I like Rubis’ (ELLE also recommends Tweezerman) ‘and take each hair at a time. Use your brow’s natural line as a guide. Brow hairs do not always grow back so be careful and stay well away from severe plucking! Always pluck in the best daylight and try doing this after a shower, pores are open and it will be less painful.’
