Permanently Beautiful

Your eyebrows frame your face. They are the portals to your eyes, pulling people into their limpid depths. Eyebrows come in all shapes and sizes. Today, lush, naturally-shaped eyebrows are fashionable, but in times past barely there, pencil thin brows have been in vogue. Today, we prefer eyebrows that follow a gently-sloping natual contour, but past fashions have included straight-lined beetle brows, exotic slanted brows and high-peaked, overly-arched eyebrows. Unfortunately, eyebrows perpetually plucked and trained to narrow or highly-stylized shapes may balk and refuse to regrow when we wish to adopt the natural look popular today.

Other forces can also impact the way our eyebrows grow and look. Many women have little understanding of natural eyebrow shape and over-pluck their eyebrows. In time, plucked hairs may refuse to grow back, leaving eyebrows that start a bit too far from the nose, arch too thinly above the eye or end too soon in an abrupt taper. Many men and women pull and tug at their eyebrows and eyelashes when they’re nervous. In it’s most severe form, Trichotillomania sufferers from may pluck their eyebrows and eyelashes bald. Age, too, affects hair growth and may leave eyebrows thin and patchy looking.

Inadequate eyebrows are a problem for both men and women, but, fortunately, it is a problem solved by permanent makeup and permanent makeup for men. Permanent eyebrows can correct eyebrow flaws, hide eyebrow scars, fill in thin or irregularly-shaped eyebrows and create the illusion of natural, healthy, well-formed brows.

Brooke Shield’s fabulous eyebrows seem to be everywhere on TV these days. The former model and last season’s Lipstick Jungle star probably has the most famous brows in Hollywood. Lush, thick, richly colored and perfectly shaped, Brooke’s unique brows have made her famous. Until Brooke hit the cover of Vogue, the youngest model ever to earn that honor, Hollywood brows were narrow, plucked arches that framed the face without being particularly noticed. Brooke brought the natural brow back to popularity.

Just like eyes, eyebrows vary in size and shape. Your brows frame the most important and expressive part of your face and must be sculpted to enhance your unique facial features. Not everyone can pull off Brooke’s thick eyebrows, but most of us could use a little help to achieve the polished Hollywood perfection of Courtney Cox’s or Angelina Jolie’s expressive brows. Properly placed and defined brows can open up your eyes and improve the appearance of your face. Permanent eyebrows artfully applied by nationally recognized permanent makeup artist Melany Whitney will get you Hollywood star notice.

Using exacting hair stroke simulation, Melany uses her skill and experience as a professional makeup artist to artistically reshape and thicken brows so they perfectly frame your face. Even brows that have been destroyed by Trichotillomania can be restored with permanent makeup so that TTM sufferers feel beautiful again.

Trichotillomania is an impulse disorder where sufferers pull out their own hair. This condition can include eyelashes, eyebrows and hair on the body. While this is a devastating condition, a permanent cosmetic professional can improve the outcome of such acts. With nearly 2.5 million sufferers in the United States alone, Melany Whitney and her impressive paramedical skills can provide results that make looking in the mirror bearable once more.

A permanent micropigmentation procedure will give sufferers confidence in their appearance once more. Her artistry will give sufferers the eyelashes, eyebrows or hair they once had back to them. These natural enhancement procedures can help camouflage the bald spots that are found on the scalp as a result of trichotillomania. This camouflage technique is effective and gives instant and natural results.

If you are unsure of having such procedures, there is a way to create a perfect eyebrow look on your own:

 First of all, find an eyebrow pencil that matches the color of your hair as closely as possible.

 Next, place the pencil vertically on the side of your nostril, your eyebrow should start here.

 To determine where your eyebrow should end, place your eyebrow pencil diagonally on the outer corner of your eye.

 To determine the arch of your eyebrow, place the pencil on the outer third of your eye, your arch should appear here.

 The thickness of the eyebrow is up to you, however the closer your eyes are together, the thinner the eyebrow should be.

My friend has beautiful, almost translucent skin and very pale, natural, platinum blonde hair. Her biggest beauty challenge has always been that her eyebrows are so naturally pale that they are nearly invisible, giving her face a surreal, slightly robotic appearance. But in her 20s, during the stressful pursuit of her PhD, my friend completely lost her eyelashes and eyebrows to Trichotillomania, also called trich or TTM. Nearly 2.5 million people in the U.S. suffer from this impulse control disorder in which sufferers feel a compulsion to pull out their own hair. In some cases, the hair grows back; but in my friend’s case, it did not. Like many Trichotillomania sufferers, she was embarrassed by her appearance and ill-at-ease at professional and social gatherings.

Permanent cosmetics can help Trichotillomania sufferers like my friend regain their self-confidence. Nationally-recognized permanent cosmetics expert Melany Whitney has the skill and artistic ability to create the illusion of natural-looking eyelashes and gorgeous brows. Using permanent micropigmentation, Melany is even able to fill-in and permanently camouflage bald spots on the scalp.
