All about brows with Elle Québec

Coming from a middle eastern family, my brows have always been the main focus of my face (all the middle eastern girls I'm sure you understand). However, when I was young my brows were always a struggle because in the early 00's strong brows where clearly not the fashion trend. As I grew older, I grew to appreciate my strong brows and now it always a compliment I receive because people do not believe me when I say that I do not fill0in my brows. Last month, Elle Québec asked me to take part in their video with Revlon where the main topic was all about brows. I was so happy and excited that something that I once disliked was of interest to a huge magazine and a brand ;) Take a look at the full video here : http://www.ellequebec.com/section/video

Venant d'une famille moyen-orientale, mes sourcils ont toujours été l'objet principal de mon visage (toutes les filles du Moyen-Orient, je suis sûr que vous me comprenez). Cependant, quand j'étais jeune, mes sourcils étaient toujours une lutte les sourcils très forts n'étaient pas si tendance que cela au début des années 2000. J'ai grandi à apprécier mes sourcils forts et maintenant c'est toujours un des premiers compliments que je reçois, souvent car les gens ne croient pas que je ne dessine pas mes sourcils. Le mois dernier, Elle Québec m'a demandé de prendre part à une vidéo avec Revlon où le sujet principal était les sourcils. J'étais si heureuse et excitée qu'un des traits de visage qui m'avait tant dérangée était maintenant d'intérêt pour un magazine et une marque;) Vous pouvez visionner la vidéo ici: http://www.ellequebec.com/section/video
