It’s believed that next to teeth, the eyebrows are the most important features on any face.  That’s why it’s worth going the extra mile to have them done by someone who truly understands what it means to “shape” one’s brows.

Dimitra Zontanos and she is a genius.

Zontanos knows how to shape eyebrows, whether her clients have coarse or whispy hair.

“I love making my clients happy and this is a service that is both easy and important for the overall look,” Zontanos said.

Here are her six reasons why having the right shape is key to your overall look:

1) They make you look rested. You may have only slept for 40 minutes the night before, but the right shape makes it look like slept for eight hours.

2) They give you a subtle, more modern change. And you don’t even have to splurge on new makeup

3) They’re an inexpensive way to look great without having to resort to Botox. As much fun as it is to inject snake poison into your head. No judgment.

4) You can get away with little-to-no no makeup when your brows are shaped properly.  The Duchess of Cambridge uses  Bobbi Brown’s brow kit to keep her brows polished.  “Catherine has the perfect balance between classic and modern,” Brown herself told Instyle in April 2012. “Her bold brows frame her face, while a swipe of gloss and pop of pink blush give her a healthy glow.”

5) It’s easiest way to make you look like you had an eye lift.

6) Having them done on a regular basis makes you look younger and fresher.

Dimitra Zontanos has been shaping eyebrows for over 15 years.  She graduated from Endicott College with  a bachelors in marketing, but later went back to school to study aesthetics when she realized she did a better job on her own brows than any one else.

Zontanos started sculpting brows at Elizabeth Grady, and now works at Naz Kupelian salon in Lexington, MA.  Her work has been featured via collaborations with Alex and Ani and Boston Fashion Week.

Early last month, Christian Louboutin announced he was expanding his empire to include lipstick, a clever move that comes more than year after his brand – famous for its red soles and impossibly high price points – made its foray into beauty with a nail polish line.

Now, Louboutin is offering his customers another piece of art, this time resembling a vial inspired by the beauty and power of Nefertiti, complete with a crown cap and gold base that can be worn as a pendant.
