What Celebrity brows would you like? – Megan Fox?  Jennifer Aniston? Kim Kardashian?

On occasions, I am  asked to work on celebrities that require my permanent makeup skills to enhance their existing brows.  It’s not surprising with all these glamorous eyebrows on celebrities that they are starting to set trends for eyebrow shapes too.  Arched, curved and the high definition brows are the most flattering and age defying to have.

A big thank you to TV and celebrity magazines like OK and Hello, they do a great job in revealing the life’s and beauty tips of so many beautiful celebrities.  This is one of the reasons that it has become common practice every day at my clinic for new clients to ask for celebrity brows!  A celebrity brow is an ambiguous description as every celebrity has different shaped brows!  I would advise that ‘just because a celebrity is your favourite, doesn’t mean you should necessarily choose an eyebrow shape just because they have it unless of course, it would suit your face shape too.’

You may well ask how I figure out what they really need.  Well as a permanent makeup specialist with over 18 years experience in permanent makeup, makeup artistry and beauty I’m competently qualified to just know.  As soon as a client walks into my clinic I can see what will suit them.

If they are set on celebrity brows, I would suggest we look at a celebrity that closely resembles their face structure (round, thin, apple, etc. shaped face). Something that looks amazing on Megan Fox just might not look that wonderful on a woman who looks more like Jennifer Aniston.  To give further assurance, I then draw on brow enhancement so the client can see the perfect brow for them.  Bingo they get the picture!  Then the procedure begins.

So what I have created to help you choose your most favourite celebrity brow that matches with your face shape, a gallery of some of the best celebrity’s eyebrow photos.   If you have plenty brow hair all of these shapes are achievable by using various styling methods like waxing, tweezing and threading.  But more than often, most women have sparse brows, have over plucked brows or hair loss due to medical reasons.  This is where permanent cosmetic makeup can give you back stunning brows that will stay put 24/7, smudge-free with an age defying finish.

I hope you will enjoy this read and ultimately will inspire you to do something with your brows if needed. After all, they are the most important feature on your face. If you don’t believe me take a look at the last two photos in the gallery! Can you afford to be brow less?

Tracy Fensome has monthly permanent makeup clinics, in Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire including Milton Keynes, Hertfordshire, London, Oxfordshire and Middlesex.

With that in mind, I’ve added a gallery of celebrities, in order of their position on the Fitzpatrick Scale.

The images below may surprise a few of you, but these so-called celebrities are just like you or I first thing in the morning, honest. The images below show Fearne Cotton and Myleene Klass without their makeup from a photoshoot a few years back, minus the bed hair of course.

New mum and former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here contestant Myleene said she undertook the shoot because she enjoyed the novelty of it. ‘There’s enough pressure on women who see images that are so unattainable,’ the 30-year-old said. ‘But this is the skin we’re given. I’ve got a freckle and a lazy eye, and I don’t have much in the eyebrow department.

Obviously you haven’t tried Permanent Cosmetics, Myleene!

The Fitzpatrick Scale is a numerical classification schema for the color of skin, developed in 1975 by T.B. Fitzpatrick, a Harvard dermatologist, as a way to classify the response of different types of skin to UV light. It remains a recognized tool for dermatologic research into skin of color.

The scale itself measures several components: Genetic Disposition, Reaction to Sun Exposure and Tanning Habits, and the questions below will allow you to correctly identify your skin tone more accurately via the Fitzpatrick scale.

Answer each question as accurately as possibly, keeping a running total as you progress. For instance is your answer was “dark brown” on question one, you would score three points, and if it was “Blonde” in question two you would add one point to that total, making four.

Once you have finished the test, you can compare your score with the skin tone chart provided.

You’re about to find out, and what’s more, you can achieve the same perfection with permanent makeup.

For me it is Angelina Jolie and this sexy beautiful photo typifies true beauty, however. It’s a question I get asked every week, usually followed by a request to have lips like their favourite celebrity.

I can wave my magic hands and certainly give you as near to with permanent makeup by blushing in a lip colour to enhance lost pigment, refresh your definition to give you more youthful lips and if your lips allow it a full lip colour blushed throughout -24/7 lip colour, no smudged lip colour, just permanently beautiful.  But there are many other factors involved in having perfect lips – genetics being one and a great aesthetic doctor.

Firstly let’s have a look at who really has the most perfect lips and what is defines perfect.  So let me ask the question – whose lips would you like to have?   Scarlett Johannson, Halle Berry,  Beyonce Knowles, Monica Belluci or my favourite again Angelina Jolie?

Like I said, I thought Angelina’s lips would top the list without a doubt, but the question has finally been answered with the help of scientific precision, and the answer I found was surprising.

An American biometrics specialist has developed lip-reading software, which uses a scientific formula to rate lips on a 10-point attractiveness scale called the Baileys Lip Attractiveness Software is the brainchild of ‘Lipologist’ Dr Kendra Schmid.

The formula analyses lip proportion, size, fullness, texture, colour and shape. The entire key points I analysis when enhancing your lips with permanent makeup.  

Although, both Jolie and Johansson scored high on the global top lips list, the winner is Italian actress and fashion model Belluci, who took away the first spot.

Bellucci achieved a 10 for lips that are full, smooth and ideally proportioned so that the height of her lips is two-thirds the width.

Johannson scored second with 9.66, Halle Berry third with 9.61, Beyonce Knowles scored a 8.65, and Angelina Jolie rounded out the top 5 with 7.89.

“This is a world first in biometrics; using formulas to objectively score lips according to the characteristics of size, shape, texture and colour,” News.com.au quoted Schmid, as saying.

The top five are:

1. Monica Bellucci

2. Scarlett Johansson

3.  Halle Berry

4.  Beyonce Knowles

5.  Angelina Jolie

Here we are then ladies with the facts as to who has the perfect lips. Whether you agree or not they are all beautiful, stunning women.  These women inspire me to excel in my own beauty and health but it must not be forgotten that being healthy and happy is your wealth and inner beauty. 

If you aspire to having just one feature on your face that is perfect I will use my professional expertise in permanent makeup and wealth of knowledge in aesthetics and cosmetic surgery to guide you in the safe direction to achieve this.  Call me for a  lip perfect consultation call 07980 578252 or visit my lip portfolio for more beautiful lip photos.

I’m often asked by clients whether I can provide [for example] eyebrows like Megan Fox or lips like Angelina Jolie, and I am always happy to provide what the client asks for, but take away their star status and how many of the celebrities below (the top ten most beautiful) would you say are truly beautiful or at least conform to your understanding of what makes someone beautiful?  I’d honestly like to know.

For every historical period and every human culture, people have always had their own ideal of beauty. But this ideal has never been constant and is still subject to changes.

In 2002 a research project on ‘facial attractiveness’ was carried out at the universities of Regensburg and Rostock in Germany.  The research created prototypes for unattractive and attractive faces for each sex by using a morphing technique. For example, the prototype for an unattractive face (“unsexy face”) was created by blending together four faces that had previously been rated as very unattractive. The “sexy face” was created by blending together four of the most attractive faces, respectively.

In order to find out the characteristic differences between attractive and unattractive faces, the experiment presented pairs of one “sexy” and one “unsexy” image for both sexes to test subjects. The task was to report which facial features were perceived to be different between the two faces.  The results are as follows:

Characteristic features of the female “sexy face” in comparison to the “unsexy face”:

• Suntanned skin
• Narrower facial shape
• Less fat
• Fuller lips
• Slightly bigger distance of eyes
• Darker, narrower eye brows
• More, longer and darker lashes
• Higher cheek bones
• Narrower nose
• No eye rings
• Thinner lids

Characteristics of the male “Sexy face” in the comparison to the “unsexy face”:

• Browner skin
• Narrower facial shape
• Less fat
• Fuller and more symmetrical lips
• Darker eye brows
• More and darker lashes
• Upper half of the face broader in relation to the lower
• Higher cheek bones
• Prominent lower jaw
• More prominent chin
• No receding brows
• Thinner lids
• No wrinkles between nose and corner of the mouth

Studies like this, in addition to being very interesting,  are the very foundation of what keeps Tracy Fensome at the forefront of permanent cosmetics.  By understanding the concept of beauty, Tracy can offer treatments that many other technicians often fail to visualise.

An even more beautiful you could be just one call away.

For years my client went through a daily ritual of getting up early to allow plenty time to put her brows on! Getting them both right and level was a frustrating task.  After careful research and consideration however, she chose me to carry out this skilled procedure. With clinics in Beds, Bucks, Herts and North London she had plenty choice of venues.

On the day a slightly nervous Victoria arrived at my Milton Keynes clinic. I explained in detail everything about the procedure and reassured her that very soon she will have life changing brows.

The procedure took approximately an hour to complete. Victoria felt no discomfort and was pleasantly surprised at how relaxing she actually found the whole procedure.

Now her beautiful green eyes are more pronounced and her face shape further enhanced. Permanent eyebrows are smudge-free, perfectly shaped, effortless. Victoria is over the moon and is now coming back for a lip blush to further enhance her beauty.

Permanent makeup or micropigmentation is a specialist procedure and should only be carried out by a skilled, qualified specialist. Tracy Fensome Permanent makeup clinics can be found in, Luton, Bedford, Biggleswade, Stevenage, Milton Keynes, North London, St Albans, Bushey, Watford, Hoddesden, Uxbridge and Rickmansworth.

I have some great tips on different eye shapes and how you can enhance your natural beauty, or book to see me for a free consultation on how your eyes can be permanently beautiful!

Close-Set Eyes

Line outer third of upper lids with grey, ,brown, or black liner. Smudge gently. Use a lighter liner on the inner eye to widen the space between eyes.

Small Eyes

Draw a dark line gradually thickening at outer edge of the eye. Use a light-coloured  pencil (gold, silver, white) and draw under lower lash.

Deep-Set Eyes

Line upper lash line with pale, shimmery liner. Then line outer edge of lower lash with a soft, neutral shade (gray or taupe). This will create the illusion of a less heavy lid.

Drooping Eyes

Line outer third of eye very close to lashes carefully sweeping the liner up at the corner of the eye.
