Take A Brow with DR on Demand

Hey guys 

Wow a month since I last posted, no bueno! A lot going on all good, all busy. It was so busy at one point that I didn't have time to get my eyebrows done, and they needed to be done especially for an important meeting I had the next day.  I then remembered my sister recommending DR On Demand.  DR On Demand, is a mobile service by make up artist Damone Roberts. 

Recognized by Vogue, In Style, Glamour and Elle magazine as a leading eye brow expert, Roberts's skills are known to enhance the face within minutes. When Hollywood's A-list need a perfect brow they turn to Roberts, who has been dubbed the "Eyebrow King" by Beyonce, Jenna Dewan Tatum, Madonna, Alicia Keys, and Robert Downey Jr.

With salons in Los Angeles and in NYC, Roberts now offers DR On Demand for the gal or guy who doesn't have time to go to the salon (points to self).

The picture above was an after shot of my eyebrows done by DR On Demand artist, Camille Janei Mumford. I love it! In between the waxing and plucking, I managed to ask Camille a few questions on having the perfect eyebrows for spring and career advice for aspiring make up artists:

O.C.O: What are the best tools to use to enhance your eyebrows?
C.J.M: Best tool I recommend to enhance your brows is a brow artist who is skillfully trained in achieving the prefect brow for your face! Don't just trust your brows to anyone, especially not your nail salon!

O.C.O: What is the biggest DON'T when it comes to eyebrow care in between appointments?
C.J.M: In a perfect world clients wouldn't touch their brows in between appointments. Clients can get tweezer happy and tweeze away the wrong hairs leaving brows unbalanced. For this clients who know can't resist the urge to tweeze a stray I show them what areas to avoid tweezing on their brows.

O.C.O: What powders are best to use for the spring time?
C.J.M: Best powders period are Damone Roberts's brow powders! My ideal look is a soft natural brow and anyone can easily achieve that with any shade from the collection. In the spring (or anytime really) it's fun to highlight your under brow area with more "sparkly" shades of gold (DR Gold Digger Highlighter) or silver (DR Bling Bling).

O.C.O: How long have you been in the beauty business?
C.J.M: I like to joke and say I was raised in a hair salon which is partially true as grew up with family owned and operated hair salons. Professionally I've been licensed for over 6 years!

O.C.O: What advice do you offer aspiring beauty professionals?
C.J.M: My best advice to an aspiring beauty professional is to find what your niche is and perfect it!

Shape Up

Hey guys!

Happy February to you all! Hope everyone is safe, warm and cozy. The weather in NYC has been crazy but nothing we can't handle.  Before the second storm hit, I was able to go to my bi-weekly appointment at Anastasia Brow Studio.  Anyone that knows me knows that my eyebrows are very important to me. And I am not a high maintenance person by any means.. Think about it though, eyebrows shape the entire face. Seriously I can be having the worst day but when I go get my eyebrows done, I feel better.

For those of you not familiar with Anastasia Brow Studio, founder Anastasia Soare is widely referred to as The Definitive Brow and Eye Expert. Soare, has developed her own unique method of shaping eyebrows and has an impressive roster of celebrity clients, which includes: Oprah Winfrey, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, and Naomi Campbell.  Anastasia Brow Studio opened it's first location in 1997, then migrated to the east-coast partnering up with Sephora locations.

The left shows my eyebrows untouched, the right shows my eyebrows after going to Anastasia Brow Studio.  As you can see, the different obvious.  Thanks, Hasije!

 

I asked the team at Anastasia after my appointment their insight on how to get amazing eyebrows. Follow these 5 simple steps.

1) Follow the Anastasia eyebrow stencils and figure out which ones work for you according to your brow structure.

2) Fill eyebrows in with Anastasia Brow Powder.

 

3) Wax around the eyebrows, and tweeze to shape and define.

 

4) Highlight the brow bone.

5) Set with brow gel.

Do not try to achieve your favorite celebrities eyebrow look. Go with your own eyebrow shape, and that way you will look your best. Eyebrows frame the face. Do not over pluck. If you find that you have over plucked as a teen, you can use Anastasia's brow enchanting serum, which stimulates hair growth.

Another great tool is the Beauty Express kit, it includes a brush, wax, powder, and 5 stencils to choose from. I LIVE BY THIS.  It’s a must for when you don’t have time to get your eyebrows done, or a hot date comes up, a business trip anything. 

If you have kick ass eyebrows you will truly run the world.

Purchase the stencils and brow powder at: http://anastasiabeverlyhills.com/ .  If you are in NYC you can visit Anastasia Brow Studio, at Sephora located on 48th and 5th avenue. To make an appointment, call 212-980-6534.
