I've tried so many times to get that perfect eyebrow arch, but I'm just not cut out for it. I might try getting a stencil or something, because her eyebrows are enviable. Not to mention the dewy complexion.

I swear if I start watching too many of these, I'll be forced to go out and spend money I don't have on new shadow palettes and brushes.

I've found the best way for eyebrows (like mine) is to remove as much as possible so it still looks half-way natural (mine grow back like gangbusters, so it's -- a task, all right) and draw the rest in-- my eyebrows are slightly darker than the chick's in the video but about as much there

I think I have the original Making Faces somewhere, only for the eye candy, mind you, and the genius that was Kevyn Aucion. I was never all that skilled at following directions, and that book is no exception. From what I recall though, most of the looks in that book call for an obscene amount of bronzer, a product I've never quite mastered without looking like an oversized carrot.
