Make sure your lashes and brows are perfect

If your brows have been long neglected, do consider having a professional make up artist or esthetician arch your eyebrows. Condition your brows and lashes to maximize shine and health.

The smoky look involves dark browns or blacks and the ability to apply makeup very close to the lash line. Also, it is important to have good blending skills in order to make the smoky look work.
