]]> Paris Fashion Week isn’t just about the fashion, and we’re loving the hot new makeup looks straight from the city of love. From deep outlined lips to dewy glowing skin, classy and daring faces are certainly on the menu… but where do you start? With so many products available and a sea of inspiration, we’re here to dive into the colours, formulas, and techniques to show you how you can look fresh off the runway this season.

Cardi B

Make your lips the centre of attention in a look that is bold and bossy. A flawless, natural base gives way to the dramatic lip line in a deep, striking black completed with natural lip colour is the perfect way to marry the weird and wonderful. If you’re looking for an accessible but professional looking style that is sure to turn heads this autumn, this is the look for you.

Kylie Jenner

Queen of makeup, Kylie, was seen embracing classic and sophisticated Parisian style in her makeup look for the Schiaparelli show. Seen with flawless matte base matched with a cool toned, natural eye and perfectly rosy cheeks, but what we’re loving is her million-dollar lips, coated in a glossy, glass like pink shade to contrast the matte look. Another take-away from this look is the deeper lipliner which seems to be the trend of the season!

Mae Tan

The gorgeous Mae showed her sophisticated side
in Paris this week, bringing a cat eye to the
catwalk done with expert precision using a pencil
to achieve a slightly softer, blurred effect.
Drawing the eye outward with a parallel waterline
flick created an elongated effect and with
prominent eyelashes, a Tim Burton-esque vibe is
achieved, the perfect deep look for autumn.
Natural, fluffy eyebrows in a cool, lighter shade
complement the look by playing a submissive role, not drawing attention from the dramatic eye. A deep brown lip is making us swoon and the blurred lip line, having the appearance of just being kissed, is a soft but daring touch.

Normani

Receiving the Alexander Echeverri treatment in Paris this week, the gorgeous Normani is bringing smoky back in expert cool toned, matte eye look. In a new highlight technique for autumn, precision takes new meaning in the simple yet jaw dropping highlight along her nose which isn’t seen on the cheekbones, a usual highlight staple, with the rest of the complexion being matte and natural. The lip look of the season is seen tying the face together with deep brown liner encasing natural pink lips.

Gabbriette

Grunge queen Gabbriette has been channelling Y2K in this subtle yet nostalgic look. Her thin brows are the centre of attention, minimally filled and accentuated with a pop of slightly shimmery highlighter around the brow bone. With little bronzer and blush in the look, the complexion is heavily dependent on a good quality, skin like foundation and concealer to emulate the natural skin while giving a sheer, luminous coverage. The perfect nude pink has also been used to enhance her natural pigment, but not overwhelm the look.

Gabbriette’s dark look

In a more dramatic variant of Gabbriette’s
flawless base, she explores how a bold smoky eye
is the perfect homage to Parisian fashion,
producing an air of sophistication around an
edgy, grunge look. The charcoal lid shade
features some prominent blue undertones and is
bluntly dragged across the lid and town to the tear
duct. Softening the look and producing the
smoky, blurred effect is a complementary brown
shade, seen lifting the colour into a slight cat-eye,
and lining the waterline, surrounding the eye. Matched with a cool toned pink lip gloss, we’re loving the Y2K vibe.

Brenda

For the Dior show at Paris this week, the iconic
Brenda was seen in a natural ‘woke up like this’
complexion with a gorgeous berry lip. The low-
coverage foundation gave her an airbrushed look
while remaining light and almost transparent on the
skin, acting as a subtle colour corrector on her
porcelain skin. The slightly pink shade around the
eyes, particularly on the water line, ties in with the
berry lip to give the look a sense of ‘completeness’
as the berry shade appears at the top and bottom of
the face creating a sense of unity. Complete with her full, fluff brows, we’re loving how she’s embracing her freckles and showing the world you don’t need layers of high coverage, removing uniqueness, to be beautiful.

Jordan Grant

Spotted in Paris embracing a blue eye shadow with a modern twist is Jordan at the Balmain show. The sheer blue with slight shimmer on the eye brings a pop of colour to her deep brown eyes, and a perfectly sculpted brow sits strongly above to combine the neat and playful. The look further embraces a dewy, lustrous glow in the cheeks, using pink highlight, and lips, using a natural pink gloss, to encapsulate a Y2K shine, contrasting a contemporary strong brow which we’re loving for autumn.

Jourdan Dunn

Undergoing a gorgeous Sophia Sinot makeover is
model Jourdan Dun for the Balmain show at Paris
Fashion Week. In completely flawless beat, we’re
stunned by the creaseless blending of the base which
seamlessly blends into eyeshadow. The lighter toned
concealer adds a natural highlight to the face, namely
undereye, chin, and nose, without an overpowering
shimmer. The sharp eyeliner has been buffed with
eyeshadow into a smoky effect towards the outer crease to create a blurred cat eye, and the tight liquid line defines the eye with expert precision, and an extremely steady hand! The lip, as we’ve seen a lot this season, utilises a dark liner around a natural shade and that glass-like gloss gives the perfect shine.

Growing out your brows takes two things: patience and accepting things might look a lot worse before they get a lot better. After abandoning the pruning and putting down the tweezers to let them – finally – breathe, enough is enough.

Knowing what to do with your brows can be exhausting, especially now that they are all grown out. With no foreseeable eyebrow appointment in the future, Voir Fashion has pinned down and grilled Leeds brow specialist, founder of Badgal Brows Academy and Salon, Natalie Della-Verde, with our burning questions on how to achieve the best brows we can.

Whether you want your brows fluffy and feathered or lengthened and thicker, Natalie shares helpful tips to hold us down until further notice.

1). What are the do’s and don’ts for growing out your brows?

If you’re growing out your brows to create a fuller shape or want a bushier brow, my advice is to leave the brows alone. No plucking just groom with a spoolie or clear brow gel. This will help shape the brows into the desired position. If you want to make the brows appear thicker use a brow mascara/brow gel. This will apply a coat just like mascara does with our lashes on each of the brow hairs.

A great way of hiding the regrowth without removing it yourself is concealing underneath the brows. Not only does it make the arch more defined, it also conceals the pesky little hairs that you are tempted to pluck.

2). There are many myths that household products that can help growth, are any of these true? Should we be using products to help speed up growth? Is this even possible?!

There is scientific evidence that some household products can help with growth. Some of the main ones are castor oil, rosemary oil, and other organic butters.

Research has found that Ricinoleic Acid (which makes up 90% of castor oil) can promote hair growth! Studies have found that Rosemary oil can treat hair loss and aid in hair growth. BADGAL brows also has brow balm which has been specifically formulated for eyebrows available to buy online. This organic botanical formula includes castor oil, rosemary oil and other botanical oils and butters. This formula provides conditioning, nourishment and promotes hair growth for brows.

3). How can we avoid ingrown eyebrow hairs?

I don’t recommend waxing at home. It’s too risky and removing even a few hairs accidentally from the bulb, arch or tail could end up in a brow disaster! Always get a qualified brow tech to do it. If done correctly, you won’t get ingrown hairs on your brow area. At BADGAL Brows we use a 10-step method to give you your dream brows. This includes exfoliation before waxing which removes dead skin cells. To avoid ingrown hairs after waxing you may gently exfoliate the area twice a week. This removes dead skin cells from the epidermis and clears the way to expose the hairs, to avoid making them ingrown.

4). After growing out your brows, would you recommend threading, waxing or simply home plucking them yourself to keep maximum growth?

I don’t recommend waxing or threading at home – unless you are trained to do so! I would simply advise to pluck underneath the brow following the natural shape of the brow and leave the top of your brows alone! Pencil or powder your brow in the way you like them and use that as the shape. You may then pluck one hair at a time from outside the shape.

5). Opinions on trimming brows?

Currently, at BADGAL Brows we hardly ever trim brows. This is because the fluffy brow is a major high fashion at the moment. It’s more about the fluff and carefree look rather than perfectly preened look, but it’s a personal preference. If you have always trimmed your brows but love the fluffy brow look, leave them to grow and style with a spoolie.

6). How long is a good time to wait when attempting to grow out your brows?

The brow growth cycle can take up to four months, so I suggest to leave them alone as long as possible! You can still attend your brow appointments in between this to maintain shape. You will need to consider that hairs do not grow uniformly, and various factors can affect hair growth such as hormonal changes, age, health, diet and stress. So, keeping a healthy lifestyle is important to maintain good brows.

7). Can tinting also help to make brows appear thicker?

Tinting or Henna is great for making brows appear to be thicker. It grabs on to tiny vellus hairs and puts pigment into the hair lasting up to six weeks with some brands. Henna is more popular as it lasts longer on the hairs. I don’t recommend tinting at home, but if you must tint your brows at home, always do a patch test and read the instructions fully.

8). Advice for the over-pluckers amongst us who are struggling to grow back what we once had?

I would advise put the tweezers down and step away from your eyebrows. Don’t pluck for at least four months and apply castor oil (or BADGAL Brows Brow Balm) every night. You can also consider permanent makeup for results that can last between 12 -24 months. The permanent makeup industry has evolved massively in the last few years and there are many different options to choose from depending on your taste.

Two of the more popular choices are: microblading if you prefer the hair strokes look; or ombre brows if you prefer the powdered make-up look. Make sure you look for a fully qualified brow technician to perform any treatments – check reviews and previous work on social media. Before you book in with anyone, always ask to see pictures of their healed results!

9). Are there any tips or tricks for helping with dimensions when trying to shape your own brows?

As a brow expert, I teach and use a brow mapping technique. If you are shaping brows at home, my tip is to always work out where a brow should start, arch and end. A quick and easy way to do this is to grab a ruler, a piece of pre-inked mapping string – which you can get hold of on our website – and follow these steps:

1). Take a ruler /mapping string and hold from your cupids bow straight up to the centre of your brow and make a mark. You will use this as a guide to ensure that your brows are equal in length.

2). Take the ruler/mapping string and hold from the centre of your nostril to the inner corner of your eye and make a mark. This should be where your brows start. Use the centre line that you have made to ensure that the start of each brow is equally distanced from the centre and make any adjustments if needed.

3). Next, you need to mark where your arch should be. Look straight ahead in a mirror and hold the ruler/ mapping string from the outside nostril through the centre of your eye. Make a mark on your brows as this will be where the arch should be.

4). Lastly, you take the ruler/ mapping string – again from the outer nostril, but this time hold up to the outer corner of your eye. This is where the tail of the brow should be.

These marks will be the template for brows that will start, arch and end in the right place. They will be in proportion to your face and help you shape your eyebrows perfectly until you can next visit your brow technician.

Use this as a guide:

Amy Anzel, the creator of the Hollywood Browzer, gives tells Voir how to and why to Dermaplan.

Hollywood Browzer Instagram

I’ll admit it; post weekly leg shave, I’ll gingerly do I quick swipe of the monobrow and tash with my Gillette Venus. I know what you’re thinking, but let me stop you right there. With my annoyingly sensitive skin making waxing a no-go, my intolerance to pain meaning tweezering is completely out of the question and after one too many disasters with hair removal cream has left me with post-traumatic stress disorder triggered by even walking past it in boots- I am literally left with no other option.

Yes, I am well aware that it is the wrong tool for the job, and yes, every time I rest the blades on my skin, my mother’s voice saying “don’t do it, it’ll grow back thicker and darker” rings in my head.

However, ever since the unforgivingly bright lights of the tube made a guy I’d been dating feel like he had to point out my moustache, it’s a gamble I’m willing to make- anything is better than not sorting out the areas of my face that grow a little more hair than I’d like to embrace.

While I’m no stranger to taking my Gillet Venus to those problem areas, shaving my entire face sounds drastic and slightly psychotic. But after speaking to Dermaplaning expert Amy Anzel who is the CEO and founder of the Hollywood Browzer, it all makes sense.

In fact, it makes a lot more sense than my current weekly run-ins with my razor. The benefits of Dermaplaning are seemingly endless not only does it banish unwanted monobrows and moustaches, but it also removes that irritating veil of hair we get that prevents a completely smooth makeup application. Amy explains, after dermaplaning or removing the top layer of dead, dull skin and peach fuzz, skin instantly appears smoother, brighter and more radiant. By removing the hair and dead skin cells on the face, you are creating a smooth canvas so that makeup can sit flawlessly on the skin.

It works on a deeper level as well, as skincare penetrates better and is, therefore, more effective as it is no longer being blocked by a barrier of hair, dead skin cells and built-up debris. The hair on the face can trap dirt and bacteria. Thus, removing it reduces breakouts. As people age, their cell turnover slows down. By dermaplaning, the cell turnover increases, which leads to the diminishment of fine lines and healthier-looking skin. By removing the dead skin cells, the Browzer evens out the skin by removing dry patches.

And to top it all off, the smooth skin you are left with means light will now be able to bounce off the skin rather than be absorbed by the hair on the skin resulting in a natural glow.

HollywoodBrowzer Instagram

Amy advises to dermaplane once a week on clean, dry skin, and to use a toner or an astringent to remove the excess oils and debris before. Then, use the Browzer in short, light feathery strokes in a downward motion and use a tissue or microfibre puff to remove the build-up on the Browzer throughout your treatment. After, use a moisturiser. Amy assures that you will begin to notice your skincare products penetrate better and more effectively afterwards as there is no longer a barrier of hair, dead skin cells and built-up debris.

Eyebrows are the biggest beauty trend of this decade; I’m telling you people will pay anything for a good brow service/product, they are the ‘nipples of the face’ of course!

In the UK the beauty industry is worth over £17 billion, not to mention by 2020 it is predicted worldwide be worth an insane $675 billion! I can’t pretend like a majority of that is from my bank account. What’s right is right, right?!

Check out our hella’ festive ’12 Days of Brows’ list to try for the 12 days leading up to Christmas 2019. If you’re not already festive, no.12 will blow your not-so-festive socks off.
