1. Tell us about your first brow grooming experience?

It involved 14-year-old me, a pair of Body Shop tweezers, and a magnifying mirror… So, a total disaster.

2. What is your current brow routine?

Thanks to Lien, I’m really happy with the shape of my brows now, so it’s just about keeping them neat and tidy because they can grow very fast and become a bit long and unruly.

I see Lien every few months for a big trim and the rest of the time I pluck my stray hairs every few days, then I just brush them up with a tinted brow gel or pomade, using either Glossier Boy Brow or MCoBeauty More Brows.

If I’m doing full glam, I’ll fill them in properly with a tool like Benefit Brow Microfilling Pen or just a matte brown eyeshadow on a really thin paintbrush I bought from a craft shop.

“Brow Confidence is the confidence I get from knowing that my brow shape has been tailored to my face and is exactly right for me.”

**3. What does brow confidence mean to you?**

Being able to leave the house without having to ‘do’ my eyebrows first. I love not wearing makeup so having good natural brows makes me feel put together when I’ve got a bare face.

4. How did you find out about Lien?

An old colleague of mine waltzed into the office one day with fabulous looking eyebrows, so obviously I harassed her into giving me Lien’s number immediately.

The main thing I remember from my first appointment is that Lien was encouraging me to see her as little as possible and maintain my brows mostly by myself, which I was astonished by. I used to get my brows done every 2 - 4 weeks, but it was becoming too expensive and hard to fit into my schedule. She wanted me to learn to love a more natural, fluffier-looking brow and ditch the overly manicured look – now I’m fully converted

“I’ve learned so much from Lien over the years, but the biggest tip is that shorter, thicker brows suit my face.”

5. Biggest lesson you’ve taken away?

Less is more. And that we don’t need tinting, laminating, or any expensive fancy products to have good brows. A $5 paintbrush, a plain matte eyeshadow, and a brow gel are all you need.
