It is true that eyebrows will quit growing back in after a while. No one told me this in the early 1970’s when thin eyebrows were in! And of course when gray hairs started appearing, I plucked them out too.
So I have gone from having heavy eyebrows as college student to having only thin brows left as an older woman. I do my best to sketch them in naturally with short strokes and then I use a brow mascara. (I swear, I’m about ready to have eyebrows tattooed on.)
Girls, don’t follow thin fads!!! Don’t tweeze over your brows – only under. And even then, just keep them neat.
Seconded!
Same exact story here. My eyebrows are thinner than when I was a teen but still visible to the naked eye. I apply a bit of eyebrow powder when I have stong eye makeup on or else they disappear completely.
SusanStoHelit:
IIRC, drag queens cover their eyebrows with wax, then makeup, then put fake ones slightly higher. But I think this is because men’s eyebrows tend to grow in the wrong shape, or too low, or something.
Well, that and many are going for the diva-from-another-era look. Add on a layer of camp, and voilà, Eyebrows From Space.
It works, oh yes.
Dante:
I made the mistake of passing out drunk at a university party once, and when I woke up, I found that my “friends” have shaved the front half of one eyebrow, and the back half of the other. It made me look like I had a screw top skull, and had tightened it a shade too much. Talk about getting weird looks…
That really cracked me up… thanks Dante .
As to the OP, those women always remind me of Bette Davis from Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? shudders It just creeps me out.
