STRIIIKE Co-Founder Kristie Streicher Reveals the Most Common Eyebrow Mistakes and the Easy Ways to Fix Them
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.”

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold is getting a restock April 10. How to get yours before its gone.
Just a few months ago, Samsung launched a really huge foldable phone. Now, it seems like this Friday might be your last chance to get one.
The Samsung TriFold, which made waves when it launched in Asia late last year before making its western debut at CES 2026. The phone sold out almost instantly upon its U.S. release on Jan. 30 before disappearing from store shelves in March.
Samsung is committing to one more restock on April 10, both online via Samsung’s website and at a smattering of retail Samsung stores across the U.S. As before, we fully expect the online restock to sell out very quickly, so your best bet might be to make it to one of the physical locations, if you can.
In a note to press, Samsung mentioned these Samsung stores as places where you can expect TriFold restocks:
Mashable Light Speed
Obviously, there are huge chunks of the U.S. that are not especially close to any of those locations, so grabbing the TriFold online will be the only option for many. In person or online, it won’t be easy to get your hands on the $2,899 TriFold, as Samsung has only produced the phone in very limited numbers.
Samsung hasn’t said one way or another if this will be the final restock, but given that the phone was already discontinued in Korea, customers probably shouldn’t bet on any more restocks in the future. Rumor has it the company has been selling the TriFold at a loss.
Given its high price and experimental form factor, this doesn’t necessarily mean the phone was a failure. It could just mean that Samsung never intended to make the TriFold widely available for a long time.
In other words, if you want one, you better find a way to make it happen on Friday.

The Bluetti Elite 300 is $1,200 off at Amazon ahead of RV season
SAVE $1,200.01: The Bluetti Elite 300 portable power station is on sale at Amazon for $1,098.99, down from the list price at Bluetti of $2,299. That’s a 52% discount.

Save $1,200.01
A portable power station is the perfect item to pack along on a camping or RV trip. If you’re heading off-grid, boondocking, or overlanding, you understand the headache of keeping essential tech powered up. Thankfully, a portable power station is ready to help out, and it becomes even more useful when paired with a solar panel. If you could use an upgraded power station, check out today’s deal at Amazon.
As of April 9, the Bluetti Elite 300 portable power station is on sale at Amazon for $1,098.99, marked down from the list price at Bluetti of $2,299. That’s a major 52% discount that takes $1,200.01 off the price.
With a compact size, the Bluetti Elite 300 packs in 3,014Wh of battery capacity. In real-life scenarios, that works out to recharging a laptop over 30 times, powering an induction cooktop for over two hours, or keeping inside RV lights on for over 65 hours.
Bluetti focused on user-friendliness with this model, and you’ll get four AC outlets, one 2,400W TT-30 plug, two USB-A ports, and two USB-C ports. When it’s time to recharge the Bluetti Elite 300, standard wall charging for 1.8 hours will get you back to 100 percent power. You can also utilize up to 1,200W of solar, which will take about four hours to recharge the Elite 300.
Mashable Deals
Keep in mind a 3,014Wh battery is heavy and this model comes in at about 58 pounds. The two side handles make it easier to transport, but this isn’t a lightweight model. However, its overall dimensions are impressively small given its power capacity. Plus, there’s the option of pass-through charging and a 10 millisecond UPS time.
Before you head out on the next RV adventure, pack along the Bluetti Elite 300 while it’s on sale for a major 52% discount. It’ll also come in handy at home during the next power outage.
