Hi,
I've been wanting to try out this certain look that requires the removal of eyebrows only I am unwilling to shave/pluck/nair/wax my eyebrows because I'd like to keep them lol.
I read in 'Making Faces' my Kevyn Aucoin that you can hide them with certain eyebrow waxes and sealers and just paint over them with your foundation/concealer.
Does anyone know any particular brand names of waxes/sealers that work very well? Good places to find them? ect ect?
If you have a good theatrical costume/makeup supplier in your area, the staff are usually very forthcoming with tips.
Also, if you aren't terrified of clowns... Well, you should be.
Well if you are going by Kevin Aucoin, know that the concealing of the eyebrows is mainly for photo shoots. After a while with the wax tends to tighten on the skin (cause we are always moving our eyebrows to show emotion and all of that) and ultimately peels off. It also takes a while to learn how to blend the wax with your foundation. I'm sure with practice you will get it, it's just a really hard look to achieve without it looking heavy and fake to the naked eye.Quote:

Note: Not to be mistaken for DermaBlend. It’s wayyyy better than that.
It's a heavy concealer that covers everything from really bad burn scars, tattoos and skin imperfections like Vitiligo. It's smudge free; it contains poly hydroxyacid- which is way better on your skin than alpha hydroxyacid.. Poly " " contains 4 - 6 acids which are larger and it takes a longer amount of time to seep into the skin (it’s kinda time elapsed) causing less irritation and improving the overall texture and smoothness of your skin. Alpha " " contains 1 - 2 acids that penetrate your skin immediately, usually irritating the hell out of your skin - over time you'll see a difference, but not like with the poly “ “. I could go on and on why this product is great but I won't. Just check it out for yourself.
Here's the info on the CoverBlend:

One other question Szandora; Does the cover-blend word in tandem with the normal wax instead of coundations/concealers or is it entirely stand alone? All in all i'm mpressed with it. I think I'll pick some up next week to try her out.

I know that some Ulta's carry Exuviance and Sephora does too.. But I don't know if they have those in Ontario.. You should probably check those stores out.
A little goes a long way with the concealer, so you don't have to use a lot. It works well as a foundation too. Set the concealer with your face powder at the end of the application.
Sephora definetly carries English Ideas ;)
Perfect! Excellent! Thank you, Szandora!
