Has anyone else raised a brow at the penciled-in trend?
I knew it was bad when even my fashion-oblivious husband asked, “What’s up with everyone’s eyebrows lately?"
As summer temperatures rose, all I could imagine was everyone’s pencilled-in eyebrows running down their faces.
Don’t get me wrong, I get pencilling in a scar. But some folks are taking this trend too far.
There’s a fine line between enhancing natural beauty and looking like you’ve got a couple of wooly worms drawn on your face. I don’t think that’s the look anyone was going for.
No, not this look either. Ladies this is crazy.
But much like when we all first learned to pluck, and hence over-plucked, I guess maybe ladies who are just earning to use an eyebrow pencil and shadows are unsure of when to stop.
If you were pluckin’ in the 90’s you probably looked like this too.
And perhaps because of over-plucking teen years, they won’t grow back to fit today’s full brow trend.
I know people sadly lose their eyebrows to chemo, and may want to pencil on brows, totally not making fun of that.
We’ve all heard the phrase, eyebrows frame the face. A pretty important part of the beauty routine. So if your’e unsure, seek professional help. Or at least, ask your mom how your eyebrows look. You know she won’t lie if you’ve gone too far.
