Eyebrows, pencils, mousse, powder... Oh my!

So I recently got a new pair of hip, fun, big, very cool Jimmy Choo frames... I love them.  Really . . . Love Them!


But they have really got me looking at my eyebrows! I have spent the last several month attempting to grow them out.  I've had some success with this product ...
No 7 fanomenal lash serum.  I bought it at Target, which is very unlike me but I really like it.  

But I'm of a certain age that they are getting sparse so filling them in is a must! The last few years I've used a wonderful product called The Brow Architect by Tarte.  You can get it at Macy's or here.
It comes with a nice turn up, no sharpen, wax like pencil (mine is almost gone! Time to buy another ... or another product???)
along with a highlighter/concealer tucked in the middle (I hardly ever use this)
and of course the very necessary spooly on the other end. 

It goes on so easy and really does the trick.  But I may need more... these frames demand more!!!!
What do you use? What questions or problems do you have with your brows?
Thanks for reading!

I'm new here . . . Anyone out there?

So this whole blogging is new for me, but I'll try and see what you think! I have over 16 years of experience in cosmetics, I should have something to say right?! I'll hopefully keep things fun and informative as well as interesting for you.  

You are probably the bride.  You might be another MUA?! Or maybe just one of my friends! Just know I am not an expert. . .  really.  There are plenty of very qualified people out there that can share all sorts of tricks and tips.  I have found that there isn't anything new really... just trial and error.  And that I know a little more than the average makeup fanatic.

Columbus Wedding Makeup is formally known as Makeup By Tami.  I re-branded the company in 2015 to expand our horizons.  I'm building a team and hope to take our artistry to more brides in the Columbus, Ohio area.  We specialize in airbrush makeup and that's one thing that sets us apart.  Among other things, are we pay attention to what the bride wants. Customer service is what it's called, but truly it is the brides special day and I love being a part of that.  

I hope to share some of the things I've learned along the way as well as share my brides and their lovely selves.  I also have fun opportunities like one with Forget Me Knot Photography.  

A few weeks back we did a stylized winter wedding shoot.  I have to say it was one of the most amazing times.  With two very talented photographers, Carmen Hall, of Forget Me Knot Photography and Vivian Nguyen of Vivian Strayer Photography, LLC.  They created a phenomenal setting for the most lovely couple. This couple filled the room with love.  They couldn't have been more beautiful... yes on the outside, but even more on the inside! I loved them!!!

So I'll share more of their incredible session later but for now . . . please leave me comments of what you'd like to know about.  Product reviews, tips, tricks, more bride photos? 
Thanks for reading!
