Great eyebrows never go out of style, and Kristie Streicher knows exactly how to get them right.
The celebrity brow artist counts Miley Cyrus, Adele, Emily Blunt, Sandra Bullock, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Mila Kunis among her loyal clients, and now she’s sharing her biggest dos and don’ts with ET.
For starters, The Nurtured Brow® creator says to do just that: take care of the eyebrows you were born with.
“Early in my career, I noticed that so many people were over-tweezed or chasing trends that didn’t suit their natural bone structure or growth pattern. I became more interested in restraint than removal and in what happens when you honor what’s already there instead of forcing something new,” she explains.
That approach eventually turned into her signature Strategic Tweezing method, a careful process that focuses on removing only what disrupts the natural architecture of the brow, while allowing it to grow back into its most balanced shape.
“It’s about preservation as much as precision,” she shares.
The result? Brows that perfectly frame the face.
“I would describe my work as effortless, refined, and authentic. … Brows can change your entire expression, your confidence, and even how you carry yourself.”
So, it’s no surprise why celebrities continue to flock to her Beverly Hills, California beauty studio, STRIIIKE, for coveted appointments.
“I think they love my technique because it feels like them, only elevated. It’s subtle, but powerful,” the beauty pro notes.
Even if you can’t make it in to see Streicher in person, you can still follow her A-list approved tips. The entrepreneur offers virtual consultations where she assesses your bone structure, growth pattern, and brow history before creating a custom plan tailored to you.
And one thing she always advises against is doing too much.
“Over-tweezing the front of the brow is a no. The front sets the entire tone of your face. When it’s too narrow, too harsh, or too sculpted, it changes your expression and can make you look harder, older, or permanently surprised,” she reveals.
Similarly, overfilling is another mistake Streicher sees often.
“Creating a shape that’s disconnected from the natural brow line can make the brow look too harsh or the arch look too exaggerated.”
Fortunately, fixing a brow blunder doesn’t have to be complicated thanks to her KS&CO line, loved by Ana de Armas, Jessica Biel, Olivia Wilde, Sarah Paulson, Chloe Fineman, and Mandy Moore.
“The Microfeathering® Pen is designed specifically to mimic real hair, so if someone has over-tweezed or has gaps, they can add believable strokes without creating a blocky shape,” she spills.
From there, use the Sheer Tinted Brow Gel to bring color, texture, fullness, and a flexible hold to the brow.
“Brush the brows upward and slightly outward. … If they feel sparse or flat, a light layer adds tone and movement without stiffness.”
