In a recent interview, Julia Roberts gave some sage advice - including the one tip she uses to ensure her eyebrows always look good.
It's a tale as old as time - when you were younger, your mum probably gave you advice on what to do and what not to do in your beauty routine, and it was largely based on practices she developed in her own life. Now, with three teenagers in tow, Julia Roberts is doing the same for her own kids, Hazel and Phinnaeus, and 16-year-old Henry - and she's making sure their eyebrow shapes stay protected by warning them against plucking.
The advice she would give to her 19-year-old self is pretty concise and to the point. "Stand up straighter," Julia told People.
"It’s all going to be okay, and don’t pluck your eyebrows."
Julia didn't always have super thick eyebrows - but in recent years, she's learned the value of just leaving them alone.
Other celebs have followed suit with this practice, with many people nowadays just opting to leave their eyebrows natural, barely waxing or threading. After all, after "soap brows" became one of the most popular makeup trends, everyone wanted to have those thick, fluffy eyebrows again - and you can't have those if you're constantly at the mercy of hot wax or tweezers.
In the past, Julia's makeup artist Jillian Dempsey, also artist to stars like Kate Winslet, Kirsten Dunst, and more, revealed just how she gets Julia's brows to look so even and full without barely any product - and of course we're trying to copy this routine immediately.
According to the Daily Mail, Jillian went in on Julia's eyebrows with one of the best eyebrow pencils, the LANCÔME Brow Define Eyebrow Pencil - a natural and waxy eyebrow pencil that will give you eyebrows that say "I woke up like this".
RRP: £18.00 | For beautifully defined brows, try Lancome's no-transfer Brow Define Pencil - a favourite of none other than Julia Roberts.
RRP: £18.38 | The OG Lancome brow pencil, this tried and true product will give you flawlessly natural brows every time.
Julia Roberts isn't the only one who loves this Lancome Brow Pencil, however - the reviews of the product speak for themselves.
"Fine tip for applying just where it is needed. Very natural looking and lasts. Good rage of colours," one person said.
"i really like the brow pencil, its fantastic for definition and when you need to be a little more light handed. you get fine strokes that are crisp and neat," another reviewer noted.
Of course, everyone has different preferences when it comes to brow shape - if you prefer a skinny 90's brow, then go for it! However, if you're looking for your brows to look a little fluffier and fuller this year, take Julia's advice and put down the tweezers.
