Behind the Brow Guru: Anastasia Soare

Meet Anastasia Soare. She's the ultimate brow guru; based in LA all (and we mean all) of Hollywood relies on her to create the perfect brows for their features. When offered brow makeovers that would appear on Beauty and the Blog, lots of Sephora’s NYC staffers said, “Pick me!” The Brow Guru herself agreed to fly in from Beverly Hills and grace us with her tweezers. We, the brow-challenged, consider ourselves very, very lucky.

After completing architecture school, Anastasia left Romania in 1989 for the sunnier climes of Los Angeles. She then applied her creative energy to cosmetology school in the U.S., and ultimately developed a talent for giving fabulous facials, which is how she discovered that American women were ignoring two of their most impactful assets—their brows! Out of this revelation her empire was born, and well-groomed arches would eventually become the next de rigueur part of our beauty routines. Each day we’ll be posting a new brow makeover, illustrating Anastasia’s solutions to the most popular brow challenges.
















Today, we’re starting with Stacy (pictured above), a staffer who felt that there was too much space between her brows. Anastasia agreed and explained:

“Your brows should always start right above the inner corner of your eye.” She started by marking the beginning, middle and end of each arch and then using one of her goof-proof Anastasia Beverly Hills Classic Stencils to generate the basic shape of the brow.

Any hairs that fall outside of the stencil area can be tweezed or waxed, and any sparse areas on the inside of the stencil can be filled in with the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo and the Anastasia Beverly Hills Mini Duo Angled/Spooley Brush.

The results were truly transformative. “I felt like my brows really highlighted my face shape, and gave me a more youthful, radiant expression, “ says Stacy.
