Student Zizi (Zinaida) Camarda in the class room of Petra Alexandra, Inc. travelled from GERMANY to learn Miss Evelyns' techniques and improve her make-up skills. She also teaches make-up back in her country Germany. The students get to practice on a Sit-in-Model. Here student Zizi enjoys the opportunity to touch faces and to be hands on with the models as her teacher Miss Evelyn looks on and guides her, this was very exciting for Zizi as she so eloquently wrote in her rather forthcoming testimonial of her experience at Petra Alexandra, Inc. So lovely when images tell the story.

NATURAL WELL GROOMED BROWS (your simple clean Brow)

Miss Evelyn Says...

Beautiful brows

VERY SIMPLE BROWS
Keep brows soft and natural looking
Shy away from those harsh dated penciled-in brows and horrid harsh powders, the modern brow of our time is Soft, Sweet and light on the face.
Remember your BROWS are your FRAMES, are you walking around with heavy frames on your face?

SIDE NOTE: Can someone kindly please explain why the photographer retouched the silk off the models face in this particuliar image above? It was taught never to fix something if it is not broken.

MY INSPIRATION:

Meeting OSAS, a beautiful young woman, actress and the crowned Miss Black USA 2010 in her early to mid twentys who suffers with Alopecia was brought to my home uninvited, as she made her way  through the frount door i noticed  a weighty painted brow that did not quiet seem like it belonged on her sweet face,  that caused me to ask some rather forward questions and to my surprise i would learn of her secret of living with Alopecia. Before she could complete telling me of her anguish over the loss of her hair since her teens she was sitting in my chair getting her eyebrows transformed. i had done many different brows over the years but usually a few strands of hair might be added to those with scantly eyebrows, for Osas it was a Brow Transformation, not only was it a transformation for her that brought her to tears and touched all that was present in the room, but it was the moment that would revolutionize the way i would do eyebrows going forward and would prompt me to venture where i had not considered, yes a new undertaking, i was taken to new heights and the gratification that i got from seeing her cry (tears of joy) inspired me to want to help other women feel this wonderful about looking at themselves in the mirror and experiencing having eyebrows  for the first time even if it is only for 5 days at a time, as i have learned from Osas the Brow Implant will last for up to 5 days.

MY PUSHER:

Provoked by Miss JEANENE, her words to me “Miss Evelyn you have got to share with others this BROW REPLACEMENT technique, this gift God has blessed you with, this ability…”, i am a little uncomfortable writing exactly what she said without coming across somewhat boastful, so i will simply say that her promptings have opened my eyes to not only building up the confidence of women who suffer with Alopecia but the women and girls who have lost their facial hair as a result of Chemotherapy and for that reason i decided to start this blog which will feature BROWS ONLY.

Thank-you Jeanene and Osas for inspiring me.

Esther Sparhawk says:

the difference Brows can make. take your look from 60 SOMETHING to 40 SOMETHING

My student/BROW AGENT Nicole Rogers after taking “ALL ABOUT EYES” class returned home to do her mums brows.

Here the brows are Threaded, Groomed and Bleached, BROW AGENT Nicole used the PRECISION technique to construct identical brows, surely you have had your brows done and embarrassingly all you could say to your technician is  “emm excuse me, but that brow doesn’t quiet look like this brow”

According to Nicole, her mum had not had her brows done since her 40′s, this was an exciting day and a teacher made very proud.

These new brows took this face from 60 Something to 40 Something.

These new brows took this face from 60 Something to 40 Something. The colour added to the brow created a very youthful look

What a little BLEACH can do for your face

from BUSHY BLACK to TAME HONEY
Colouring the brows can be a concern to some. We see this new fad on all the hippest celebrities, like Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Beyonce' and Queen Latifah, even the first lady Michelle Obama has caught on to this trend and has followed the crowd.
Need to soften your look? here is a pictorial of a young jewish girl who gave BLEACHING a try for the first time and the results you must say are quiet lovely.

Here Miss Evelyn chose a colour that would compliment our models warm tresses.

Here we have found the shape before applying the eyebrow bleach, with black brows our model appears older

Keeping our toes crossed that the colour comes out right

Finding the right tone, the colour of the brows now compliments our models hair colour, creating a much softer and more youthful look
