So I did what everyone does when they have a boring weekend. I ate crunchy nut cornflakes and watched youtube tutorials. Well I also tried to film my own tutorial but I had a few too many red wines and completely messed up the smokey eye. I know it is meant to look messily tidy but this was messy messy. Lining your eyeball is not part of the technique apparently.
So watching the tutorials I came across the latest "trend". Shaving the face. For girls. Mmmm.
I have read about this before. A couple of years ago one of the ladies from Housewives of New Jersey was talking about how she did it. The I say an article which talked about the reason that mens skin was so soft was because they shaved everyday so it was really exfoliated.
Then I also remembered reading about the bearded lady at the circus.
So shaving your face is not just a case of grabbing the old bic razor. You use products that look like this.
and have names like Tinkle (you can get these on ebay)
So what will shaving your face do for you? Well apparently it WILL make your foundation go on more smoothly and it will look flawless. According to the article I read it will NOT make the hair grow back darker or thicker.
Apparently this trend is not new, Marilyn Monroe was doing it, and it is so big in Japan that there are salons that specialise in it.
So if you are considering getting out the razor have a read of this article first- it seemed the most balanced and honest, also have a look at this video
So will I be shaving my face? Hell no- I don't have time to make myself a piece of vegemite toast in the morning, let alone add another step into my beauty routine. But if you decide to go the shaved route- let me know.
