Rediscovering beauty during cancer treatment presents unique challenges – particularly when it comes to facial features that express our personality. We're diving deep into practical aesthetic solutions with makeup expert Jeanna Doyle-Ruhl, who shares techniques for recreating the look of eyebrows and eyelashes during treatment.

Jeanna reveals why traditional eyebrow pencils often fail cancer patients and introduces her game-changing alternative: creating a paste with eyeshadow and water that creates dimensional, natural-looking brows that stay put. Her step-by-step guidance covers everything from brush selection to application techniques, color choices, and practice methods anyone can master. You'll discover why "sisters, not twins" should be your eyebrow mantra and how to recreate your unique brow shape even when starting from scratch.

The conversation extends to eyelash techniques, with Jeanna explaining why artificial lashes are contraindicated during treatment and sharing her artist-inspired approach using watercolor brushes for creating the illusion of lash lines. Her compassionate reminder that "these techniques will work at any stage of shedding or regrowth" offers hope and practical solutions for anyone facing appearance changes during their cancer journey. Whether you're a patient seeking self-care strategies or a caregiver helping a loved one navigate treatment side effects, this episode delivers expert techniques that enhance confidence when it's needed most.
