Tweeze it out

THE spring face is minimalist. Super- clean and super-bare. Almost like a 1990s Calvin Klein ad – stripped back, androgynous, nude.

Tweeze it out

It’s a tough look to nail, but it does feel fresh and youthful. It’s also very simple, making it ideal ‘day wear’. But beyond the fact that you need beautiful skin to carry it off to perfection, the one essential you’ll find you need are decent eyebrows.

The eyebrow is a curious thing. It can alter your look in a second. Go too thick and you can edge into Colin Farrell territory (which on a lady ain’t so hot); go too thin and it all gets a bit Marlene Dietrich. And this season the brow has a look all of its own: it’s strong, defining and face-framing. Think late-1970s Mariel Hemmingway, or even 1980s Brooke Shields – strong, elemental, directional brows.
