I hate it when my roots get greasy and then the rest of my hair is a frizzy, dried up mess. I used to wash just the top front of my hair to get rid of the grease, but that’s not good because ideally you want the natural oils to travel down the length of your hair to keep your curls shiny and healthy. And I work out and perspiration, excessive or not, can make greasy hair more pronounced.

Even if you haven’t heard of Mat Kearney you’ve most likely heard Mat Kearney. Songs from his first album, Nothing Left to Lose including the album’s title track have been played on your favorite tv shows. Listen to it here; you know it, right?? We love that song too and we’re loving his newest album, City of Black & White even more!

Neha and I went to see him perform this week. He’s touring all over the country with Keane this summer so you can see him too- no need to be a Seventeen editor to enjoy a live show and meet a great artist. I totally recommend checking him out. He puts on a great show and Closer to Love is bound to be one of your favorite summer ‘09 songs.

Brows were SUCH a major source of stress for me growing up. Some of my friends had thin, perfectly arched brows naturally–not me! My brows resembled curtains! It took me a while to get the hang of my brows and to learn what shape suits my face. With that in mind, I asked Brett Freedman, brow expert and founder of cosmetics line Vanitymark, for some tips on how to find the best shape for you!

For rounder faces like Rachel Bilson:
It’s best to keep brows on the full side, and keep the ‘tail’ on the shorter side. Too long a brow will only accentuate the width of your face, and too short will make your face look wider, so start by gently plucking the ‘tail’ end. The higher the arch the better, and you can cheat this look with a sweep of brow powder, such as Vanitymark’s Ultra Brow Powder.
 
For rectangle faces like Blake Lively:
The key here is to soften angles. Full brows will make your face will look too squared off; too thin and you’ll be giving too much ‘face.’ Keep the brows tidy, but defined. Make sure you have a well shaped ‘tail’ to anchor the eyes and balance a strong jaw line.  Keep that arch high to add roundness and femininity. You can help tame unruly brows with a light brow glaze or gel.
 
For long/thin faces like Kristen Stewart:
Delicate features dictate delicate brows. The most common mistake is making the brows too thin which gives the face a weak, low-watt look. Keep the brow on the subtle side by making sure they are not too dark. Use a lighter, pencil to powder fill in, such as Vanitymark’s Ultra Brow Pencil fill, so the hairs are darker than the shade you are enhancing them with. If your brow hairs are ample, keep them trimmed to tone down ‘girth’, using small scissors.
 
For bold features like Camilla Belle:
Large eyes, strong cheekbones, prominent nose or all of the above?  You definitely want to make sure brows pack impact, too. Go bold with your shape by creating high arch using tweezers and a brow pencil for shape. Be care not to tweeze too short or too thin. You want a fuller brow to balance. Definition is your friend when you want to highlight front row, exotic features.
