The Eyebrow Thread, all you need to know and ask about your arches

[emailme.]

good for you. it doesnt have to be exact. better to have more than less. as long as its close to the shape then it wont look bushy or manly.

I've got thick eyebrows but unfortunately, the arches are too low and uneven (left side is higher than the right) and they don't extend out enough.
Ale's got the perfect brows!

I love my eyebrows! They're thick and perfectly shaped but I just need to tweeze a few stray hairs.

lucky! only a few strays? im jealous

Why should your eyebrow colour be lighter than your hair colour? Im confused.

A lighter tone in the eyebrows than in the hair, makes you look overall more in harmony.
Not saying this as if it were a rule, but a lighter tone on the brows makes the face looks more beautiful and draws much more attention to the eyes.

I used to bleach mine just a tiny bit, and did it make a difference!

Eh hem.... I'm about to inject some wisdom from one of my older sisters..... " If the eyes are the windows to the soul, the your eyebrows are the curtains." So, dress them accordingly.

lol time to change that emoticons CURTAINS!

well, thank you... i see those spermy eyebrows, or the so far aparts that they don't recognize one another. tis a shame. I just try to keep it as natural as possible, clean up the strays. My sis has thick bush brows, and she just clears out a lil from the area closest to her eyes to give her a more awake look, so she doesnt look permanently pissed.

who here is in the growing out process?

i am! it's been the hardest thing i've ever had to do in my life (slight exaggeration). i do not pass a mirror w/out checking to see if my hairs have grown a nano-mil. (yes, i am that vain.)

 

[Elegance.Is.Refusal.]

^^^ im going through this process too, one eyebrow is perfect just what i was aiming for but my other eyebrow isnt catching up but i dont want to pluck my perfect one to match, plus on my sub standard eyebrow the hairs seem to grow different

 

[emailme.]

well thats because your face is imperfect(meaning unsymmetrical). You have to be REAL lucky to have a symmetrical face. so your brows are not going to be even. But dont be so anal about it. Just like nobody can notice your uneven face im sure your brows being uneven should be noticeable too. So dont try to use the perfect one as a preference you will just mess it up. Just keep waiting for the other brow to grow. Mine has been in that stage but it does grow out. Mine was so flat and totally didnt suit my face and it lookd really ******** and so uneven from the oher one. It is still today but not as much. So you'll be fine is what im trying to say.

 

[gingeraunt]

my face is REALLY asymmetrical. you can really see how crooked your face is if you use two mirrors, have #1 mirror facing you and #2 mirror reflecting mirror #1, this enables you to see your face the way the world would.(i heard there is a mirror that is designed to do this "trick" as well.) i use this method to help pluck my eyebrows more evenly. i know this makes me seem crazy but i AM super anal. that's why, even though emailme you are so correct and i shouldn't care so much, it's just my ocd tendencies.

elegance.is.refusal, i totally feel your pain. first my right one was the better side, then my left, and now it's back to my right! btw, i love your avatar. i read somewhere that martha graham, for her stage make-up, used to dip her finger in purple eye shadow and smear it over each eyelid and that was it. i need to take her approach to life.

 

[Elegance.Is.Refusal.]

i know i shouldnt be so bothered about it since that eyebrow is the one totally covered by my side fringe. but i have nothing to do these days since i've broken up from uni and they are starting to annoy me

maybe i should take up a hobby until i've finished growing them.

gingeraunt we should start a support group for useless annoying eyebrows!

 

[emailme.]

if you find satisfaction in plucking eyebrows that means you dont have the correct eyebrows because you constantly think you can make it look better. If its the 100%correct one, you wouldnt bother yourself plucking it.

 

[emailme.]

everyones been there. i find satsifaction in browing them back because i finally get a much better shape. the bottom of mine are growing out except in beginning of it. Not the base but just above the iris. its so annoying and weird looking. My slow brow also is thinner at the bottom and starting from the arch its draggingly slowly growing.

 

[Elegance.Is.Refusal.]

i havent been plucking them just watching them grow and getting annoyed at them! i think its even worse that growing your hair back.
