The real Angela: Serene, kind
Eliza lifted the inner quarter of Angela's brows by waxing away some of the hair underneath, then softened the arches by thickening the ends with a blonde pencil. Finally, because Angela's dark brows were too severe against her luminous skin and white hair, Eliza lightened them with the same pencil, making short, feathery strokes from beginning to end. "People always complimented my strong brows—I realize now it was because they were the first thing you saw," said Angela. "Now you'll see me."
