Discover How to Achieve Healthy Brows with Expert Tips from Alyson Hoag — E.688

The Power of Perfect Brows: A Conversation with Alison Hogue of Genuist Beauty

In a recent episode of Skin Anarchy, host Ekta Yadav had an insightful conversation with Alyson Hoag, founder and CEO of Genuist Beauty. As a seasoned makeup artist and brow expert, Alyson shared her journey in the beauty industry and her deep knowledge of brow care. From innovative brow products to shaping techniques, this episode was all about learning how to achieve the perfect brows and the importance of brow health.

The Importance of Brows in Beauty

Alyson began her career in beauty early, with a passion for makeup that started in elementary school. By high school, she was modeling and receiving advice that would shape her approach to brows for years to come: “Don’t touch your brows, they’ll never grow back.” As a makeup artist, Alyson quickly realized that brows are more than just a facial feature — they are critical to framing the face and can dramatically alter someone’s look.

Alyson’s extensive experience working on brows, combined with her time behind the makeup counter and in salons, helped her perfect her unique approach to brow artistry. For Alyson, brows are not just about waxing or trimming; they require precise shaping that works with the natural contour of the face.

From Brow Disasters to Brow Protection

Throughout her career, Alyson has heard countless horror stories about over-waxing and over-plucking, many of which have long-lasting effects. The damage caused by improper brow care often leads to brows that won’t grow back. She shared that she has been a “brow protector” for her clients, working to restore and grow back damaged brows.

One of the major problems Alyson identified is that many people don’t understand the impact of their brows on their overall look. Most of her clients come to her because they’ve experienced issues with brow growth or have had a bad shaping experience. Her method, called the Balanced Brow Method, is about sculpting the brow to suit the face naturally, enhancing the features rather than altering them.

Brow Care Essentials: Nourish and Protect

Alyson’s philosophy revolves around maintaining the natural health of brows. One of her key insights is that brow hair, like the hair on our head, requires proper care. Neglecting brows leads to thinning, damage, and uneven growth. Her approach is simple: “Mow it to grow it.” She explained that like a lawn, brows need regular maintenance to remain healthy and strong. The optimal routine, she shared, is to keep brows on a five-week cycle — any longer than eight weeks, and the hair may stop growing.

Alyson’s dedication to brow health has led to the creation of her product line at Genuist Beauty. Her Roller Brow Serum was born from a real-life client experience, where she discovered the transformative power of a derma roller in combination with brow serums. This product, Alyson explained, acts like a lawn aerator, allowing serums to penetrate the skin better and promote healthy brow growth.

The Roller Brow Serum and Reviving Your Brows

One of the standout products in Alyson’s line is the Roller Brow Serum, designed to stimulate brow growth and restore damaged brows. The serum contains a powerful active ingredient, Procapil, which strengthens the hair and promotes growth. Paired with a derma roller, this combination provides a game-changing solution for anyone looking to grow fuller, healthier brows.

Alyson’s commitment to formulating high-quality products extends to the ingredients she uses. The Revival Brow product, a favorite among many, is packed with ceramides and nourishing ingredients that care for both the hair and skin. Alyson highlighted the importance of skin health when it comes to brow care, noting that damaged skin can hinder hair growth. Her formulas are designed to condition and nourish both the brow hair and the skin underneath, ensuring that brows grow strong and healthy.

Fall Brow Care Tips

As the seasons change, so do our beauty routines, and brows are no exception. Alyson provided some essential tips for keeping brows healthy during the fall:
1. Conditioning is Key: As the weather cools, brows can become dry and brittle. Alyson recommends using brow conditioners, like the Brow Renewal treatment, to keep them hydrated.
2. Color the Hair, Not the Skin: When filling in your brows, focus on coloring the individual hairs rather than applying product directly to the skin. This technique ensures a more natural look.
3. Maintain a Routine: Stick to a regular brow routine, keeping them on a five-week maintenance cycle to prevent thinning and promote healthy growth.

Brow Care Innovation and the Future

Alyson’s dedication to innovation is evident in the time she spent developing her brow products. The Revival Brow and Roller Brow Serum were formulated with care and precision, taking years of research and testing. Alyson’s approach is not just about creating products but about truly solving the problem of damaged or thinning brows. Her passion for brow health is rooted in her desire to empower women to embrace their natural beauty.

As a brow guru with over 30 years of experience, Alyson continues to educate her clients and the beauty community about the importance of proper brow care. She is also working on new product innovations, hinting at exciting developments in the brow filler category. Her goal is to create impactful products for women of all ages, especially those over 50, to help them define their features without complicated routines.
