How to deal with the loss of lashes and eyebrows

“One of the hardest things for me was losing my lashes and brows, you don’t realise how much expression and definition they are responsible for until they’re gone! If you have no brows left at all you will want to recreate fine hair-like pencil flicks and go over the top with a bit of powder or shadow to set into your skin. It’s about re-defining your eyes; that’s what is great about make up!” says Sophie Beresiner – Beauty Editor.   

Sophie’s Tips 

• Mimic eyelashes by pressing your mascara wand against the edge of your eyelid
• Define eyes by adding a flick with liquid eyeliner
• Without eyelashes, your eyes will water more. Waterproof eye makeup will last longer
