Tips for Beautiful Brows

Follow these steps to having Gorgeous Brows...

To make sure your brows are in tip top shape, you need to consult an expert.

Studio CARA is the top brow studio in Central Florida. The difference between a brow wax and a brow design is HUGE! And most places that offer brow waxing take less than 10 minutes to do it.

At Studio CARA your first appointment will take about 30 to 40 minutes.

We pride ourselves on analyzing the face, the brow growth and your personality to create the perfect design for you.

 Leslie Christin has created the looks for many celebrities including Alana de la Garza, Elizabeth Hurley, Mary Stuart Masterson, and her signature makeup line CARA Cosmetics can be found in many Makeup artists kits, being used on such shows like: Vampire Diaries, Suburgatory, Law and Order, Meet the Parents, Magic City and many more...

 

Make an appointment to have your brows professionally designed, so they are not too thin or too bushy. 

Before your appointment follow these steps:

 

  • Let your brows grow out for at least 2 weeks if your shape needs some help! We need enough hair to work with to sculpt a beautiful brow.
  • About 1 week before your appointment, stop using any retinols and topical medications that will cause your skin to peel or thin.
  • Do not receive any peels or microdermabrasion treatments.
  • Get your brows shaped 2 to 3 days before any special event.
  • To keep your brows looking perfect we recommend you rebook for a brow redo every 3 to 4 weeks.
  • Don't forget to fill in your brows with a CARA eye brow pencil or a shadow like malta, ifni or havana to complete the perfect arch.

My Thanksgiving Wish

The holiday time always makes me reflect and ponder over the passing year. As you some of you know, I am having a milestone birthday this year!!!! I am turning 50 and this is a WOW experience. What the heck have I done in those past 50 years??? 
I have been slowly doing an inventory of my years and I am realizing that I have done a lot, (even though I don't think so at times) and so much I am grateful for!  And there is SO much more I intend on doing, discovering and creating. 
 
At the forefront of my mind, is to acknowledge that the past 15 years of my life and CARA Cosmetics' would not be complete without you. 
 
Thanksgiving is about acknowledgement. Everyone gives Thanks for what is most important in our life and I realized that this should be my daily affirmation.

My Thanksgiving wish is:
For everyone that I love to know it, to feel beautiful, to feel appreciated, to feel empowered, to feel successful, to feel healthy, to feel magic, to feel energized, to feel intelligent, to feel happy, to feel inspired, to feel respected, to feel honored, to feel kindness, to feel creative, to feel light and to feel free...
My deepest Thanks for being you and being a part of mine and CARA Cosmetics life. I look forward to a miraculous and abundant 2013 for all!
Happy Thanksgiving with love,
Leslie
