Fuller Eyebrows Back In?

Filed under: Miscellaneous "Fun Stuff", Beauty Tips (General) — ProductAddiction @ 2:28 pm

Remember the days of serious eyebrow plucking and shaping?  While is not even arguable that a well defined and arched brow will always be the classical look and always frame your face better, the actual thickness and thinness of the brows has gone up and down over the years. 

When I first started plucking my eyebrows and shaping them, very thin was in.  Think a very young Pam Anderson in Baywatch type of thin.  They were no more than an eighth of an inch wide even in the widest areas. 

Now though, it appears that fuller eyebrows are making their way back.  Now, all you see on runway models are fuller, more generous looking eyebrows, without the super thin look that used to prevail.  They’re almost going back to a Brooke Shields look now, perhaps a bit thinner, where the thickest part is about 1/4 inch and the thinner parts do not taper so quickly at the end of the eye.

This is good news, since a lot of women (and men) really do look better with a more generous brow, since thicker brows do tend to be more flattering to more facial types because they are more versatile and can be shaped a lot of different ways, making it easier to taylor them to your specific face whether you have an oval face or a round or long face.

Also, if you overpluck, you can always just pencil in your brows where you have over plucked.  I pluck my own eyebrows, and I usually tend to over pluck where my eyebrow ends at the end of my eye, so this is where I usually have to use the pencil.  Be sure not to get a pencil that is too dark though.  This usually looks very obvious, and unnatural.
