Jet and Liesbeth have great brows, both naturals.  But one visit to Fatima was enough to pimp them up to Maartje Verhoef level, who’s got the best brows in town. Check it out.

I’m such an idiot. When slim brows were the fashion I did a huge amount of plucking leaving Fatima very little to work with. For that reason i have her on speed dial, convenient in case of a brow emergency.

I called the Soap Treatment Store for a appointment and booked half an hour of ‘shaping and tinting’. I left there with eyebrows that would make Brook Shields turn green with jealousy. Here are some eye-catching facts.

your left brow is fuller than your right

Even Fatima doesn’t know what causes this. We probably pluck easier on the right than on the left. Overdoing it a bit on the right (wrong) side.

your left brow is more sensitive than your right

Fatima couldn’t help me out here either. But try it. It’s true for me. Maybe it’s because it’s closer to your heart. Who knows?

rosemary drops are the key to full eyebrows

Forget about those miracle grow eyebrow solutions. They work until you stop using it. According to Fatima I need to buy Rosemary drops and almond oil. Mix a drop of the oil with the rosemary and massage it into your brows every evening. ‘Don’t expect a miracle overnight, but if you do it regularly, it will work’. I’ll keep you posted.

eyebrow powder alone isn’t enough

If you only use the powder to fill your brows it will lose it’s effect. Use something firming, like an eyebrow pencil. Then fill it up with powder.

A browgel is indispensible

The gel fixates the powder so your eyebrows stay perfect all day (it’s so sad when they cave in half way). You can brush your brows up after applying it.

it’s no DIY

You may think so. But once you’ve had a Fatima in your life you’ll never do it again. So off you go. Make an appointment with one of those ladies that knows what she’s doing.
