The Brow Factor is a jewelry line that premiered at Chanel’s autumn/winter 2012-13 show that aimed to turn eyebrows into rare stones. The eyebrow jewelry was designed by the creative director of Chanel Make-up Peter Philips with the help of Maison Lesage. Philips got the inspiration for the jewelry from a sketch done by fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld that featured stone-lined brows.
The jewelry itself is quite stunning and makes the models look like aliens. Each pair of brow jewels has its own stone theme ranging from emerald green to ruby red. One can not simply slap on the eyebrow accessories and be on their way however, because they must be put on carefully with special glue.
The Brow Factor by Chanel is certainly a luxurious way to decorate one’s eyebrows.
