The times of plucking the eyebrows pass by gradually. Natural and not plucked eyebrows become more and more popular. But what to do if you used to pluck those all you life and now want to have them back?

Permanent makeup is the procedure that not every woman wants to undergo as the eyebrows look quite unnatural. What about hair transplant surgery?

In the past few years, hair transplant surgery has become advanced. Previously, it was almost impossible to copy the natural angle and growth of the eyebrow and lashes.

Now, one follicle can be implanted at a time, and surgeons are able to control the precise angle of the hair, which is very acute in eyebrows. This know-how can now be used to implant hairs into the eye lash line either.

Dr Bessam Farjo, who has been working on hair loss treatments and transplants since 1992, explains the procedure goes: a very thin strip of skin (6-7 cm long, and 4-5mm wide) is taken from the area of the scalp where the hair is softest. The surgeon then removes each hair from the piece of skin with a thin needle. Next, he makes up to 50 tiny incisions with a scalpel where the eyebrow should be, and, using a needle, inserts each hair follicle into the incisions.

The 30-year-old Mary Hornby from Sale in Greater Manchester, underwent an eyebrow transplant done by Dr Farjo. She began plucking her brows at just 14:

“I would over-pluck and be left with pencil-thin eyebrows, which at the time didn’t bother me. As I got older and wanted a fuller shape and I tried to grow them out. But repeated plucking had meant they had stopped growing.”

The operation last for three hours:

“It was completely painless and all done under local anaesthetic,” she says.

The happy patient also added:

“It took about six months for me to start seeing the results, but now I couldn’t be more thrilled. Dr Farjo has done an amazing job, easily surpassing my expectations and leaving me with beautiful, natural, full eyebrows.”

Eyelash transplants are more complicated, because of the delicate nature of the eyelid.

The prices for the procedures vary depending on the treatment required but in general the eyebrow transplantation costs around £3,500, and the eyelashes about £3,000.

If you have brown or dark brown eyes, you are the lucky one. There is not a secret that dark eyes attract make a very strong impression. And the topic is not about the make up as the brown-eyed women stand out against a background of blue or grey-eyed ones.

The brown-eyed beauties don’t need to create a new image daily. It’s enough to accentuate the natural cattish playfulness of the look by a few strokes and the world will be at your feet again.

So, what are the must-have make-up items for the brown-eyed? And what makeup will make your eyes look showy?

Eyeliner

If you want to turn your eyes into alluring and tender look for a special evening, use the Arab style and your beloved won’t get enough watching you. The best eyeliner color is black. Apply the liner along the eyelashes line of the upper eyelid. The lower eyelid can be contoured with the black eye pencil. The aim is to get a cat eye uplifting the outer corners.

Finish the look of Oriental beauty with the olive-, chestnut-, or golden-colored eye shadows. Enticing and mysterious look will be achieved if you mix up several hues of one gamut. Makeup tints should smoothly flow from one to another, from the lightest at the inner corners to the rich dark of the outer.

Let’s chose the right eye shadows.

The main rule of the perfect makeup – the shadows are created for your brown eyes, not visa versa. That’s simply the method to stress the natural beauty of your eyes, dark depth and enigmatic warmth of your brown hues. Don’t cover the eyelids with all the possible tints that you have in the palette. But all you should do is to stress this or that eye shape.

How to get yourself into order if there is only one week left before the giant party?

Early winter is quite a complicated time for an organism. Some of you have already had an illness and flu. All the taken drugs have effected the face skin well hopefully.

And the end of the year is a real hassle. But one who gets angered often – advances in age quickly, proved by the scientists. Nervous disorders influence the skin condition immediately. But what can you do to become irresistible up to the holidays (at least for the New Year party)?

The course of special procedures can help you to relax: warm bath with coniferous extract, lavender, and sea salt. The water shouldn’t be very hot, the time of the bath is 10-15 minutes 3 times per week.

If baths are contra-indicated to you, then you can take soothing herbal teas: valerian, mint, sweet-Mary and peony, or polysaturated acids. Polyvitamins with tocopherol (vitamin E) are great as well. Pure water with lemon goes well too.

Girls are obsessed with the length of eyelashes – the longer the better! Tons of mascara are used to achieve that effect but we never feel satisfied.

However, the situation is going to change soon with a new product from L’Oreal that promises to make our lashes longer and thicker.

The French cosmetics company claims it has developed a serum that allows individual lashes to grow for a longer period of time before they fall out.

Thus, theoretically we will have longer eyelashes and much more of them if the serum is applied regularly.

The company has spent three years comparing eyelashes to the hair on our heads, and building on anti-hairloss technologies developed for its haircare ranges when the breakthrough was made.

The key active ingredient in the serum is an extract from a herbaceous plant called Centella asiatica which has traditionally been used in Asiatic and Indian medicine.

Hope the invention will really work and soon we all will have long lovely lashes!

Renee Zellweger has a wonderful snowy-white skin, a charming smile and pretty small eyes. But as they say, better small and expressive than big and vacuous.

Nevertheless, Renee is so radiating with her perfect natural make up and makeup artists always know how to accentuate her blue eyes.

Here the actress’s stylists share their secrets for small eyes so that they can look impressive and don’t “lose” on the face.

5 need-to-know tips!

• Don’t use too dark shadows (matt in particularly) as they make your eyes look even smaller just like small dark spots on the face. You’d better turn your choice in favor of light and natural tints that widen the eyes visually.

• Don’t “draw” the thick black lines on your eyes, because they create a look of a heavy beetling eyelid. On the contrary, use eyeliners of soft grey, brown, blue or green hues.

• Make a brow correction. Too thick and wide eyebrows hanging over the small eyes reduce them to the chink. Shape your brows into the accurate form of a smooth arch.

• Use an optical nacre capability to enlarge the things. Apply mother-of-pearl or shimmering shadows onto the opper eyelid that will open them widely. Then outline the inner eye corner with a light nacre liner.

• Use lengthening mascara. Curl the eyelashes with a lash curler as long lashes make the eyes look bigger visually.

Trendy means trendy! Fall-Winter 2009/2010 dictates its own outerwear, hair and make up trends. Make up is something that characterizes our nature and preferences.

But if one wants to follow vogue tendencies every season, here they are! Make up F-W 2009/2010 designers’ vision we are to walk through the season.

Shining or Matt Skin

What skin to choose this season? First of all it should be mentioned that matt skin is extremely popular according to the runway F/W 2009/10.

Emanuel Ungaro and Marc Jacobs offer us to pay attention to matt face skin that looks predominantly as a background for the principle face distinctions – eyes and cheeks.

Skin paleness is welcomed as well as its natural tints. Let it be smooth and clear so that the make up could astonish with fashionable looks.

I’ve always admired the eyelashes the cover girls and celebs have. I used to think that those were their gift by nature but later on I read an article telling that most of icons had build up their eyelashes. I love my eyes and I admit the things that do no harm them. But recently I’ve been invited to the wedding ceremony and the temptation to build up the eyelashes gained a victory over my caution.

I went to the one of the leading cosmetologist my friend had advised me and while she was working on my new appearance I was questioning her about the procedure.

What eyelashes do cosmetologists use?

First of all, there are eyelashes made of artificial fibre but identical to natural. I should say that the natural ones are not good for build-up as they cause allergy or even conjunctivitis. All the materials undergo a strict quality control and certification.

Every woman dreams about long curly chic eyelashes that drive men mad and make female friends envy. Nature is cruel to most of us but what nature doesn’t want to give us modern technologies will.

Curling lashes for a short period of time is easy even with the help of ordinary mascara but this effect doesn’t last and the next morning you’ll have to repeat the procedure. Besides, mascara can flow from water, or crumble and smear your under-eye area. Thus by evening time you might end up having almost colorless and, as a result, visually shorter lashes.

A nice decision for those who want to look great all day long, in water and hot weather, is an eyelash perm. This keeps the effect of curly lashes for two-three months.

Generally the procedure is similar to a usual hair perm. The result depends on what you originally have, though even the shortest and absolutely straight lashes will look the way you want. Tiny rods and special chemical solution are the only things you will need, and a good salon to perform the procedure of course, at least the first time.

Don’t be afraid that the solution can get into your eyes or on eyelid skin. If everything is done right after removing the rods your lashes will look fantastic! The entire procedure takes 40-50 minutes.
