3 Brow Tips To Create Your Best (and natural) Look.

Within the world of beauty, there are some things that won’t change and stray too far away from its core concept. Where we say your face is your canvas, your eyes being your nipples (as others may say), your brows are the frames to a picture-perfect look.

To introduce our new services of brows, we thought we should share our very own insights to help you achieve your best look.


  1. Your Unique Face Shape Matters.

In our "How to re-engage and stimulate the energy of brighter days with your employees at home?“ blog, we talk about different initiatives to activate within your teams to engage and stimulate a sense of livelihood throughout the culture of your people. #1: Invite unique and modern guest speakers to attract different perspectives, and stimulate creative conversations.

Face shapes and Brow Styles.

Referencing cel.md and their ‘eyebrows for face shape’ article, we summarise the key face shape notes for you, all in one go.

  • Round faces suit high arches. They help balance and set off your beautiful rounder shape!

  • On a square face, aim for soft, rounded arches as these will help soften the strong jawline found on your unique, but gorgeous square face.

  • A softer or higher arched brow can look great on a heart-shaped face!

  • Best eyebrow shape for oval faces? Your oval shape can be paired excellently with a soft, yet angled brow.

  • If you have a longer face, adopt a straighter brow or work in a soft arch and extended tail to serve your overall shape.

  • Just like a long face shape, a diamond shape works well with either a straight brow or soft arches.

  • Rectangular face shapes serve best with a flat brow. But, if you want to give your face a little roundness, adopt a slight curve.

2. Brow Pencil. Eye Shadow. Brow Creme. Brow Mascara. WHICH ONE DO I USE?

Did you know that there are different product types to use for brows? But you need to know that this is a test and learn experiment. From skin type to hair type, hair thickness and stickiness - you will need to experiment with different brush types and product types. We’re not here to push products in front of your face but give you the foundation of information you need when factoring in the TYPE of product you should be trialling.

  • Brow Pencils give your brows a stronger look. Perfect for those with bigger facial features including the eyes. A mistake you could be making is the art of colouring in. Instead, why not try to draw your brows with lines throughout to give it a more natural, yet fuller look.

  • Believe it or not, eye shadow is also perfect for brows, especially for those with thinner hair. Make sure you find the right shade for you (we recommend going 1 shade lighter than what your brows currently are - layers do stack on, creating a darker look by nature. An eye shadow brush will suffice and work! You probably already have an eyeshadow sitting in your makeup bag!

  • For our beauty queens who adore the wear of make-up, wearing medium to heavy coverage of foundation, eyeliner and even lipstick, brow creme is a solid product formulation to complement the rest of your face and enhance your brows to meet the level of style completed on the rest of your face.

  • Brow Mascara takes time to skill, but is great for those looking for longer wear. Brow mascaras provide waterproof alternatives - lasting as long as the mascara on your lashes. Of course, a product is still removable and isn’t as long-lasting as a microblade or a brow tint, but if you’re looking to experiment, we recommend giving it a try!

3. Achieve your look with long-term wear and instant gratification with a Purely Polished Brow Professional.

Like we said before, a product only goes a certain length. Different in results when compared with microblading, professional brow shaping and tint. We are adding eyebrows to our menu for you to wax, shape, tint, and package with other services including our lash extension range. Eyebrow tint provides long wear of up to 3-4 weeks, giving you more time in your day to take a moment for coffee, or a quick 5 minute breather.
