Brows by Elke Von Freudenberg

One of the things I def wanted to do in NYC was to go see the fab “Eyebrow Specialist” Elke Von Fruedenberg. I had been trying to coordinate my trips with her bi-coastal schedule and was lucky enough to get an appointment for this trip on Saturday morning. So, before I went, I took a “before” pic of my brows:

And this is how great they looked afterwards: after eyebrows Brows by Elke Von Freudenberg She told me that I had great shape, that my arch was in the right place, but that she wanted to just “sharpen them up a bit”. I was all for it and I think the results are great. (*the makeup is after my appt at Saks for the D&G Makeup launch – def more about that later.)

And here I am with the lovely lady herself:  Brows by Elke Von Freudenberg She was super generous with her time – even after my epic address FAIL! She does brows a neat way – she put on her super magnifying reader glasses and has you *sit up* in front of her, not laying down. She says this way she sees how your face falls naturally and can better shape your brows to fit your face this way. The didn’t use any wax or threading on me. Just pluck plucked me neat with her tweezers. (*Neat tidbit – when I asked her who her most famous person she had met – get this – Oprah! Yep. She was doing the makeup for one of O’s friends, and next thing you know O walks in. Crazy world, eh?). I didn’t have any leftover redness, like after waxing, so I was able to keep on trucking on with my day.

Oh, in addition to doing brows all over the place, Elke also has a brow product line called Elke: The Brow Collection that has all kinds of brow shadows, brow pencils, and her “Clear Eyebrow Ware”, which acts like a brow gel, but without the crunchy/flaking. She also let me in on what she has upcoming – which will be amazing for lovelies trying to grow their brows out – but I won’t spill any more than that – I’ll let her share when she is ready.

Like I said, she is bi-coastal, but take a look at her calendar and schedule an appointment when she is on your coast. You won’t be sorry.

    Awww – thanks, love! I had such a great time – I will keep posting what happened, with pics, too.
    As for the color – you can thank Natural Instincts Golden Auburn for that one. ;)

    Oops! Just to clarify. I never did Oprah’s brows… just makeup for her friend for the Emmy’s…. so glad you liked them! I’m sure you’ll be able to keep them up just fine! xoxo elke
