Eyebrows Done Right: Video Tutorial
by Carlen Ocampo

Wearing a mask outside of our homes has become a part of the new normal in our regular everyday lives. Many families, lucky enough to remain indoors, have chosen to continue living in lockdown, and make their way out only when absolutely necessary— masks in hand.

As women everywhere have toned down the use of beauty products due to mandatory face covers, there is one thing that continues to shine— the eyebrows. So, we called on Carlen Ocampo, makeup professional and mom of two, for her take on doing right by your brows, and she did not disappoint.

If you’re one of the good ones that managed to avoid over-plucking in the 90’s or early 00’s, then this should be relatively easier for you. This is the frame of our face, after all, and if we need to exert any effort in the dolling-up department, then this is it. Some of you may have this down to a science, but we watched the video below and realized we had been doing it wrong our entire lives.



Carlen is a California based makeup artist and hair stylist from the Bay Area. She has been in the cosmetic industry for over 15 years working in film, theater, fashion, tv, and bridal. Her experience in front of and behind the camera has given her a unique take as a beauty professional. She has been featured on Kim Kardashian’s Reality Makeup Competition “Glammasters,” The Ellen Show, and America’s Got Talent. She is a mom of two and currently runs her freelance makeup service, FaceMe By Carlen. Connect with her on Instagram, Facebook or YouTube and view her work at FaceMeByCarlen.com
