Lovelyish

i agree.. at least when it’s bushier you can trim down a bit. i only tweeze a few hairs under my browline but otherwise, ladies, keep it to a minimum!!

I really like threading
I broke out from waxing and i hate plucking because i can’t do it well myself

the make up artist shaved my eye-brows for an indie film that i was doing and ever since then, i had to visit the salon monthly to get rid of the stray hair. i was only 13 that time and i dint like getting my eyebrows plucked coz it hurts! i like threading but the bad thing about that is it doesn’t really give me an opportunity to reshape my eyebrows because it grows out in a noticeably different direction. i didn’t like what one of the salon peeps did to my eyebrows because she plucked too much and the hair that grew out was instantly considered as stray hair. i miss my beautiful thick brows! i’m thinking of trying that ardell eyelash and eyebrow grower. i heard it works! what i do now is i pluck my stray hair in the right direction and i’ll apply that ardell thing to make it grow thicker and nicer and maybe then i could reshape my eyebrows to a more appropriate thickness and shape.

i think that having thin brows is ok too but it doesn’t look good on me but it looks great on some people. it depends really

On the first set of images, the one with the thicker eyebrows DEFINITELY look better.

I often go months or years without tweezing my eyebrows. *shrug*

Also, that tattooing thing looks horrible.

i used to go tweezer happy, resulting in very thin eye brows. Finally I grew them out and just starting going to the salon and getting htem waxed. For me, it gets a little bit red initially, but not extremely irritating. I did threading once, but I didn’t like it. Now I just wax once every 2-3 weeks. It’s cheap and effective =D

I wax. I’m not sure how to describe how thin they are, though.

i just get mine waxed every 5ish weeks. it used to really irritate my skin but the salon i go to now uses some sort of wax that hardly hurts and doesn’t leave my skin red and broken out.

i think eyebrows should look natural.

I think too thin is entirely dependent on the shape of their face, the eyebrows in general, and several other factors. I have seen girls look killer with thick tattooed on eyebrows, as well as thin drawn on ones. It just DEPENDS.

I prefer all three methods, but I mostly just tweeze.

thick, DARK, oscar the grouch type eyebrows run in my family even though i’m blonde! i kind of gave up battling my eyebrow since they always win, and just try to contain them LOL

i tweeze.  after doing my eyebrows since i was 14, that tearing up after affect still hasn’t gone away though.

i’ve waxed my brows before and i never had that itchy burning feeling at all.  i think it has to do with how the person does it. 

i wouldn’t suggest tatooing your eyebrows.  people’s facial shape changes over a course of a lifetime.  so….your eyebrows should also change.

I prefer waxing.  They usually put something on my skin that takes the red puffiness away almost instantly.  Plus I’ve never broken out.  

I thread my eyebrows, and I never have that puffy red irritation or anything. But I like leaving mine full looking, I just shape them up. Keira Knightley looks ten times better with fuller eyebrows, with thin ones she just looks old.

i always tweeze…i tried threading once and i loved it, but i cant seem to find another salon that does it =/

i would NEVER tattoo my eyebrows. thats what eyebrow pencils are for lol

I love threading. If you have bushy eyebrows, instead of grabbing tweezers.. push up the hairs and cut the long hairs. That made a difference for me.

 I have trich so I abused tweezers.. to the point where I had no eyebrows and of course at the time when I had no makeup skills to fill in eyebrows.   It’s sad because if you type in “pencil thin eyebrows” in google images, MY picture appears.

Go to a salon to get your eyebrows done unless you know what you are doing. My eyebrows are lowered because I didn’t. 

I would never tattoo eyebrows on. I’ve seen some girls drawing it on and it looks great on them. Some people just don’t know what shape works for their face. People always say thicker or fuller is BETTER. But for some, thin is attractive.

Pencil-thin makes the forehead and brow bone look soooo big! I prefer a medium-thickness.

I tweeze mine. I’ve never tried threading, but I don’t trust anyone else with my eyebrows but me.

my eyebrows are on the thinner side. i just pluck them myself.

@sabbygurl@xanga - Have you tried putting ice on your eyebrows before tweezing? It takes the pain away.

About a year ago I went tweezer happy and literally had about 10 hairs making up my eyebrows. Sure they looked good, but they were horribly hard to manage, and after a while they looked tacky.

I let the poor things grow back fully before I began tweezing again. I use stencils so I don’t overpluck and I always get commented on my perfect eyebrow shape.

I would never get them waxed because of the fact of how sensitive my skin is, and I never really looked into threading. The tattooing of my eyebrows is a double negative. That would look extremely horrible.

i like kiera with fuller eyebrows (like the left picture) i was blessed and have good eyebrows. i don’t have to wax or draw with a pencil or anything. they’re small without being too small. i love mine!

my favorite beauty topic! EYEBROWS.

i definitely agree that eyebrows are an important feature on the face. it gives shape.
threading is the way to go!it leaves the eyebrows looking naturally shaped while waxing makes them look . . . not as natural. haha. && as for tattooing? a no no.
unfortunately, for me i find it hard to trust people with my eyebrow because of a small incident where i looked in the mirror after having them waxed and found half the thickness size of my eyebrows gone! terrible.
i love thick shaped eyebrows.i’ve been plucking for a while now but i think it’s time to let them grow to it’s full naturally hairy self & have them threaded. i`ve seen many girls & have many friends who seem to have no trouble what so ever keeping them well groomed. luckyyy girles.

I like tweezing best. Threading just scares me, and I hate having to pay for waxing, plus I can’t go out afterwards because of the blotchy redness, and pimples.

My eyebrows have always been pretty thick, and darker than my hair. I’ve struggled with it, but now I don’t mind, especially when I look at beautiful celebrities who are Russian, like me, because they tend to have similar eyebrows. Plus different stylists have told me I’m lucky because they have good shape.

But the other day, one of my friends said that if I dye my hair a lighter color than my eyebrows (black), I should have my eyebrows dyed too, for an extra charge. Is that necessary? I’d never even considered it, but I really don’t know.

P.S. I like the Keira on the left.

eyebrows definitely DO make the face. I prefer my eyebrows thin (and I currently can’t find my tweezers aka currently freaking out….) but I think they look best that way. I haven’t gotten any negative comments aside from this one girl, but I didn’t care.

I agree.. tattooing is creepy.. if it didn’t look so creepy I might consider it, since tweezing is such a pain in the ass

i have ugly eyebrows.

oh well..hhahahaa, “tweezer happy” lol

wow, if you get the purple/brown hue colored tattoos, youre in good shape! all the vietnamese people i know in my family all have the tattood eyebrows that turn a funky green -_-

wax, thread, and in between, i pluck the odd ones.
overplucked eyebrows look HORRIBLE. please girls, stop doing that

lol that sort of tattooing is twenty years old! its called micro-pigmentation and is very much american as it is chinese/vietnamese.

Nowdays they are very natural looking and can be semi-permanent, with many shades not that nasty purple bluish black.

I think girls should stick to the natural shape of their eyebrow and just neaten them up as it will be the shape that suits you most, thin eyebrows should be at least 6mm wide..

I was born with bushy eyebrows, and hated it all my young adult life.  Then, I got introduced to tweezing.  Oh my gosh, the first few years after our introduction, I went TWEEZER HAPPY!  and I’ve capitalized it because I want to stress that I really went overboard.  My gloriously thick eyebrows transformed into thin barely noticeable lines.  For a while I was happy.  It was different, and I didn’t feel bushy anymore.  But many years later, after I calmed down, I realized that thin eyebrows look horrible on me!  Plus, it took FOREVER in the mornings to keep them looking clean. 

I began realizing that it was more important to look good then to have thin eyebrows. (I seemed to have forgotten this during my tweezer happy period.)  Just because I hated my bushy brows didn”t mean I couldn’t look good with thick eyebrows.

And so nowadays, my eyebrows are thick (but not bushy).  They complement my face and also, are easier to mow down..i mean, maintain.

@bridgetlee1003@xanga - what kind of stencil do you use?

i don’t like too thick eyebrows, but i also don’t like too thin eyebrows (think pamela anderson.. gross). medium thickness is nice. and the tattooing? that looks disgusting… it’s a plum colour, not even a brown.

@KTThustle@xanga - that type of tattooing really does look natural… i have bald spots in my eyebrows (don’t laugh!) so maybe if i’m guaranteed to get natural-looking results, i’ll risk it.

I don’t understand this whole threading thing, i’ve never heard of it before, but it def. sounds very painful..

i don’t think i care enough to do anything about mine. they have a natural arch, i’ve heard?

@jbomb86@xanga - I don’t know the exact name, but they come in a pack of four or so. You can get them at Wal-Mart in the aisle with the tweezers and what not. They are bendable plastic so you can draw an outline with an eyeliner pencil, and come in a few different shapes. They work very well.

@e_L_a_I_n_e_Y@xanga - 

Hahahahahaha!

@AsToldByAndrea@xanga - 

It’s actually not that bad. It might sting a little the first time, but you’ll get used to it. Threading actually hurts more on the ‘stache than on the eyebrows. You should try it

people say that the best way to give your face a makeover is to work on the brows. it really can make or break your look.

thick eyebrows are best. and thick does not mean bushy!
hyori
hot
thin eyebrows are not attractive lol

i tweeze mine, i actually enjoy the sensation of pulling hair outta its pore… don’t judge me!

i would love to try threading one day, bummer that i can hardly find a place in Melbourne that offers the service. i heard that ppl often thread their whole face, leaving it baby smooth.

and with eyebrow shapes… i think there’s no universal rule in ‘the best eyebrow shape and size’? the best shape ought be the one that looks best on your face

@evangeliaaa@xanga - i have them bald spots too lol, yes you should get them, to make sure its worth the risk to take, look at the beauticians and their certificates, five years or older than don;t go with them, also look at their’s and their colleagues eyebrows, good beauticians always do they colleagues!

@fairyfloss2004@xanga - I actually like pulling the hair outta the pore too!  You’re not the only one.

I always tweeze mine.  I’ve gotten complimented on my eyebrows more than once by different people, so whatever I’m doing, I guess I’m doing it right!

My mom has her eyebrows tattooed.  It’s a little green now, but not too noticeable.  She and my sister have really light eyebrows, whereas mine are pretty dark in comparison.

@x___insomniac@xanga - hmm..i’ll have to look into that.

I get the tweezers to mine, I hate my eyebrows they are like invisable not because I got tweezer happy, just because they are fair, I have brown hair and eyebrows that don’t match. I like thin and chunky looking eyebrows but they have to suit. I don’t think id want my eyebrows tattooed on it looks some what odd

lol..that picture if funny. Because this woman may look good now with her tattoo’d brows…but when she’s old….oh my. 

mine is embroidered is still tweezing it. i like eyebrows that looked full, strong, well-groomed and shaped nicely. Eyebrows are like the frame of our face.

@CrissySomedays - I’m a recovered trichotillomaniac, so I understand.  I pulled from the top of my head, though, and even though I haven’t done it for 5 years, I still get the urge every once in a while.  I can’t have people touch the top of my head to this day because it makes me want to pull.

The lack of eyebrows must be easier to deal with than a 5″ bald spot, especially when you can’t wear a hat.  

@bridgetlee1003@xanga - ok thank you so much! i’m definately gonna try it! every time i tweeze i manage to screw up my eyebrows!!

@methodElevated@xanga -  I never had the urge to pull the hair off my head. Just eyebrows, lashes, etc D:

A lot of people liked my super tiny eyebrows.i t would’ve been easier to draw in but I was a nooob.

omg i’m glad i’m not the only one who notices eyebrows
probably because i’m way conscious about mine

thin is so ugly. i can’t stand it. and then there are some shapes that i wonder… how the hell did you even manage that? because it just looks awful. like the really chunky towards the nose and entirely wayyyy too thin as it goes toward the ear
gah!
GAH!!1

but
i’m pretty sure middle easterners are the best at eyebrows
even when my aunt plucks mine, i get a lot of compliments

but i got kicked in the face during a soccer match… RIGHT on the eyebrow, so now one is permanently thinner forever and it looks awful

but i think i’m going to grow mine out and get them professionally just to see how that rolls
i’d much prefer threading
i just have to find a place for that
i don’t think any of my relatives know how to do that

I’m definitely a tweezer chick. My hair grows back extremely fast; I have to pluck mine daily.

As for my brow thickness: it’s naturally thick, but I tweeze it to an average thinness. Just look at my xanga photos, I guess!

I think Jessica Alba and Meghan Fox have nice eyebrows:

And this random lady and Brooke Shields both had a bad eyebrow phase:

i tweeze. but just maintain them daily. i dont overpluck because i know eventually they wont grow back.

Hmm.. mine are just quite normal. they’re not very big, but they aint quite thin either. I only pluck them sometimes.. And Keira looks better with her own brows!

i’ve almost perfected my eyebrows.  i get compliments on them. 
theyre not too thick not too thin,  i just tweeze them. 

I absolutely hate pencil thin eyebrows, they creep me out. It was a look that worked in the twenties, but that was the time period. They just made a face either look bigger or more hollow. I love thick eyebrows.

I stick to tweezing mine a tad thinner than they would be if I left them alone.

P.S. I hope for Kiera the second picture was Photoshopped because those brows are getting into the realm of trailer trash.

I started plucking my eyebrows in junior high, waxing in high school. By college years they were gone. That’s actually fine with me as I’ve always loved the look of really thin penciled brows. I’m thinking about tattooing, just so I won’t have to worry about my brows washing off with rain or perspiration. Has anyone had their’s tattooed? How do you like it?

I go tweezer happy, but luckily my eyebrows are so hairy that it doesn’t make much of a difference. xD

That’s why I like waxing. My hairdresser is much better at shaping eyebrows than I am!

i get mine waxed, and i pluck the stray ones every few days.
eyebrow threading: just the idea of that is strange to me…
i watched a girl do it on youtube and then i was completely turned off.
i got mine waxed today, and it only hurt for a few minutes after the lady did it. she did it REALLY fast and then put this lotion on afterwards.
i used to have HUGE eyebrows, really bushy and long, very very dark and almost connected in the middle. -.-
the first time i got them done, they looked good, but i still over-plucked way too much. so i let them grow out for a little more than a month, and went back to get them waxed today, and sure, they are now half the thickness of what they once were, but they look much better. i just need to even them out a bit.

If your brows are too thin or need filling in, Neubrow is great. I’ve always had thinner brows, some areas thinner than others. I tried Neubrow and I have thicker brows now than when I was a teen. You can read up on it at http://www.skinresearchlabs.com. No more penciling!
