For the Well-Groomed Man

Boardroom Eyebrows

The Joey Healy Collection Elite Sculpting Tweezer brows

With the idea in mind that the perfect brows are only for women, many men are resistant to getting their brows shaped. A man of distinction, however, understands the value of careful grooming, as the quintessential brow—otherwise known as the Boardroom Brow according to celebrity eyebrow stylist Joey Healy— will accentuate a masculine face shape and enhance the overall eye color. What better to compliment that power suit than a power brow to match? When it comes to shaping a thick, effortless brow perfect for the boardroom, Joey Healy recommends a stainless steel, slanted tweezer like the Joey Healy’s Elite Sculpting Tweezer to get rid of strays without making brows look overworked. To top off a Boardroom Brow that will last throughout the day and night, men should be sure to use a professional finishing tool like Joey Healy’s Brow Structure Clear Set for a clear hold that gives a polished finish to their new shape. – Joey Healy Elite Scultping Tweezer, $35, and Joey Healy Brow Structure Clear Set, $25, available at: www.joeyhealy.com
