The Architect

Anastasia Soare was the first one to raise a brow at the neglect eyebrows faced. If it weren’t for her, #browsonfleek would have never existed.

Remember the ’90s? Eyebrows meant two glass noodles strategically placed on the forehead. It was the time when tweezers witnessed a glorious reign, but only until a makeup artist Anastasia Soare decided to change that, for good.

The problem wasn’t thin brows. It was the fact that different facial structures needed different shapes, but there was one-size-fits all concept. What most failed to realise (and Anastasia did) was that shaping the arches is not a case for a trend done right but it involved science. Even as others spent days questioning if our arduous math classes would ever pay off, this woman used the Golden Ratio to launch an empire, a makeup empire. In a tell-all interview, she decodes the secret behind perfect arches she is known for.

What qualifies as a perfect brow?

It should be shaped in way that it brings balance and proportion to the face, and is done according to one’s facial features and bone structure.
