Look through my Instagram, @SkinStudioLongview for brow inspiration, come to your appointment with your brows filled in, and bring your brow pencil or powder. These things all help me determine what style brows fit you the best, and how bold or natural we should go, which are all discussed during the beginning of your appointment.
