    Strong Brows Dominate the Runway


    2010 - 02.22

    In light of the ending of New York Fashion Week and the beginnings of London Fashion Week, strong brows have been a dominating trend on the runway. How can you achieve this look without looking like Sasquatch? Here are some easy tips. To get the strong brow look, brush hairs upward, which allows you to see the directions your brow hairs grow in, then brush in blinc Fountain of Youthful Color Eyebrow Mousse to fill your brows in light strokes in the direction of the hair growth. To complete the look, brush brows down neatly.

    blinc Fountain of Youthful Color Eyebrow Mousse comes in six colors: light blonde, dark blonde, auburn, light brunette, dark brunette and black.

    From metallic to smoky, the eyes sparkled on the red carpet at Sunday night’s Grammy Awards. Here, we give you tips on re-creating these makeup masterpieces at home.

For this look, apply blinc Fountain of Youthful Color Phase One Eye Shadow to keep your shadow in tact, then apply a silver cream shadow to your lids and underneath your lower lash lines. Strong brows are a must for this look, which can be achieved with blinc Fountain of Youthful Color Eyebrow Mousse.

    Carrie Underwood successfully pulled off what most deem a beauty no-no:  dark brows with light hair. This look is a little tricky, but as Carrie so graciously demonstrated it looks great when done correctly! The requirements are a major smoky eye, mascara and liner. Try blinc Mascara and blinc Eyeliner in black to ensure the look lasts as long as you want it to! As for the darker brow, no need to dye your natural arches, try blinc Fountain of Youthful Color Eyebrow Mousse in a shade darker than your natural color. The Eyebrow Mousse comes in six colors: light blonde, dark blonde, light brunette, dark brunette, auburn and black.

    Taylor Swift brought old Hollywood glamour to the red carpet. For her look, blend a charcoal shadow over your eyelids (after applying your Phase One Shadow, of course!), then apply blinc Eyeliner on the upper lash lines. Curl your lashes with blinc Heated Lash Curler and finish with blinc Mascara in black. Your eyes will look flawless the entire night.
