Olivier Gay is one of the hottest eye designers (yes, this profession really does exist) in the beauty world. After training as a make-up artist, he opened his own studio in Paris. As a specialist in his field, he oversees photo shoots and the major fashion shows in Milan and Paris. We asked him to tell us the 4 most important rules of eyebrow styling! AND there is something really great from M2 Beauté for you to win! (Juhuuu)

ONLY PLUCK WITH TWEEZERS

Epilation with tweezers is the safest method of hair removal, as the hairs are plucked individually. In contrast to waxing, the elasticity of the eyelids is not affected.

KEEP THE PERIOD BETWEEN PLUCKING

Under no circumstances should eyebrows be removed daily or even more often, as excessive plucking stimulates growth. Find your own picking rhythm, e.g. B. every 2, 3 or 4 weeks.

NOTE PROPORTIONS

It is very easy to determine the geometric center with a stick (e.g. the handle of the eyelash comb). Use this fixed point to shape your eyebrows. From this point work out your desired eyebrow style.

DON'T BE AFRAID OF INDIVIDUAL WHITE HAIRS

What to do if you discover individual white hairs? Important: do not remove it under any circumstances. Either you use a mascara for eyebrows (don't apply it too thick). Or you can use a dye that is tailored to your skin type (especially for eyelashes and eyebrows). TIP: Do not dye the entire eyebrow, just the individual white hairs. This will help you maintain the contrast and achieve a natural looking result. You can re-dye it every 7 to 10 days without hesitation - but try to avoid possible skin contact.
