Perhaps as a result of the 'Scouse Brow' phenomenon, those two little Hairy Mollies above our eyes have never had so much attention. But if you want your eyebrows to look more Cara Delevingne than Colleen Rooney, look no further than our handy video tutorial.

 

 

Even Taylor Swift is getting in on the 2014 brow action, on the cover of the latest 'Wonderland' magazine

 

My preferred method of keeping my brows in check is to have them threaded. It's no sorer than plucking, is much easier to control and keep the shape you want, and perhaps most importantly, you're least likely to inadvertently take too much off. Most salons now do threading, but you can also get it done in-store in The Body Shop for a very competitive price.

 

 

The Body Shop's Brow and Liner Kit €16.95, Brow and Lash Gel €15.95

 

Once you have the shape you want, it's very cheap and easy to maintain your brows on a day-to-day basis. You can use powders and wax or a pencil and brush. I like using pencils because you can 'draw' brows where there are none. Powder is a fantastic option for a natural look, but it needs hair to be already there.

 

Brow Definer Pencil €12.50 and Slanted Brush €14.95

 

Most people would leave their brows naked if they are running out the door in the morning in hurry. But even though I get up at silly o'clock every day, they're the one thing I never ignore. I think they make me look more 'awake' and put together. I wouldn't be without my Shiseido pencil (below). It's not cheap, but it's fantastic and I've used it twice a day for a full year and it's still going strong. If you're looking for a budget option, try L'Oreal's Super Liner Brow Artist pencil which is less than a tenner. Or Boots Seventeen does a great little compact with a pencil, wax and powder for only €8. Total bargain!

Shiseido Natural Eyebrow Pencil €23, Boots Seventeen BROWS THAT! Brow Kit €7.59
