Please tame those caterpillars!

There's no better way to give yourself a quick "face-lift" than a great pair of well-groomed eyebrows. Unfortunately for Kajol, one of Bollywood's favourite actresses, she refuses to pluck, wax, tweeze or thread her bushy brows because the process is painful. Well, Kajol should suck it up and do something fast because it's definitely more painful and distracting to look at those things. Kajol is an incredibly gifted actress and has beautiful green eyes. A lot of her beauty is hidden behind that unibrow.

I don't want to say this to be cruel, but I just want to say that as a young Indian woman, I feel that it's our moral obligation to tame our unruly brows (or any other bit of facial hair), since we have been blessed with such thick ones.




Check out Karishma Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor's sister and Bollywood alum. When she started acting, her brows were significantly larger and also distracting from her other delicate features. However, once she drastically changed her eyebrow shape (taking off about 3/4 of her original eyebrows) with the help of makeup artist Mickey Contracter, she quickly become a beauty icon. Look at some of those before/after pictures to see just what an improvement a well-groomed brow can do.

BEFORE & AFTER:















There are some great products on the market right now to help you achieve a perfectly sculpted eyebrow without spending oodles of money on monthly eyebrow grooming appointments. However, it's also worth investing in a professional eyebrow shaping and maintaining that shape with the right products.

Eyebrow maven Anastasia, created her best-selling All About Brows Kit, which can be bought online or through Sephora. Anastasia put together everything in this kit that you could possibly need to maintain salon brows at home. What I love is that there are four different brow stencils that you can use to achieve a symmetrical look that suits your face. Anastasia's tweezers are also perfect to get those tiny hairs that are so hard to remove. Plus, the brow powder duo comes in a variety of shades to best suit your hair colour. I also love the brow gel used to tame the most unruly brows.
