I’ve always been scared of a strong brow. I’m not sure why exactly, but I always equate a strong brow with strong women, like Anjelica Huston, and until recently, I feared being strong, as girls sometimes do. I wanted to be delicate. Light. A wisp of a thing. A pixie. Guess what? At 5’9″, I am none of these things. True confession.
So, in the last few years, I’ve grown up – and embraced who I am, and part of that is embracing the fact that I am indeed a strong woman. And, likewise, I’ve embraced strong brows, as well. But strong brows? Well, they need to be shaped and maintained by a strong aesthetician.
Enter the Wonder Woman of strong brows, Kristie Streicher.
Yup.That’s Kristie. And yup, she’s THAT killing in person. A gorgeous girl who’s destined to gorgify your brows. p.s. And noooo, you don’t have to go purple like she did here…but the beauty is that you could!
Kristie’s studio, Striiike, has become the go-to celebrity brow beauty bar, in Beverly Hills.
Hair clipped back and ready for better brows.
I stopped by recently and was not prepared for how much of a difference she would make, by simply tweezing and tinting my brows into her signature “feathered brow.”
Meow. In the chair with Kristie and the cutest kitty cat mirror that you ever did see.
I walked out, feeling a little like Linda Evangelista, circa 1992…and I mean that in the BEST way.
Kristie is gentle, fast and you’re transformed in mere minutes.
Before…and After Kristie.
While it’s not the cheapest option (shaping ranges from $100-$200), I would argue that it’s the single best thing you can do to improve your beauty routine.
Look! Even with my eyes closed, my glamour is on point with those Kristie-shaped brows!
When your brows are full, shaped and strong, you’ll find your other features complement one another more, and you’ll even find that you don’t have a need for as much makeup as usual.
More brow means less makeup.
Plus, did I mention how much fun she is? She had me laughing and feeling more confident, all in our 30-minute sesh…and there wasn’t even wine involved!!
This girl? Good times. Gorgeous brows. What more could you want?
So, if you’re looking to give good face, look no further than Kristie. It’s a glamour gamechanger for sure.
*Sidenote? I went last in April and am JUST going back for my follow-up visit this week. It’s July, y’all. That’s how good she is.
FUN FACT: The one brow product Kristie swears by? Mary Kay Brow Gel ($10). She says it’s a must-have to keep brows in line. And since she recommended it to me back in April, I’ve been swearing by it, too. Plus, as a Dallas girl, I loooove me my Mary Kay!
Who knew? The must-have brow product? None other than Mary Kay brow gel. So says brow expert, Kristie Streicher.
xoxo,
Dawn
