With travelling mode on, give your brows the love they deserve. Opt for the brow lamination service at Brau. If you’re looking for thicker, fuller and better-shaped brows, the expert artist can create this using a lifting balm for the brow to grow in the right direction. The voumising solution will hydrate them with a custom-blended tint to make them appear darker, fuller and thickens with the right shape. The service is available at Mall of the Emirates and Spring Souq.
