Slug eyebrows!!

Sorry, this has no doubt been done to death - but what is it with people and their eyebrows atm? It looks like 2 slugs have settled on their forehead!!

Am I missing something here?

i find it funny, though i have given up plucking my eyebrows now and just embrace their natural shape. i think the problem is people getting over-excited with the filling in when their natural shape just doesn't suit it.

WindMeUpAndLetMeGo · 31/05/2015 20:39

I keep mine shaped, but the whole HD Brow thing has got silly, why do people want them so big? I look at photos of friends on FB and all I see is eyebrows!

it's all a bit daft isn't it. a girl at work always has then, she looks great in photos but silly in rl. i think she just takes how she looks on selfies as how she looks to everyone else.

WindMeUpAndLetMeGo · 31/05/2015 21:00

My friend has hers done and they looked lovely to start with, but each time they're redone they seem to grow - I want to say something but she seems really happy with them.

This cracks me up. It's especially funny when the brows and hair are totally different colours.

My god daughter recently had hers done, it was all I could do not to gasp out loud when she walked in.

You might as well just write EYEBROW on your face.

WindMeUpAndLetMeGo · 31/05/2015 21:26

Girl in my local shop has really bad ones, couldn't stop staring at them - she must have noticed

Someone I know has just had these slug eyebrows TATOOED on!

She asked me what I thought? . I muttered something about eyebrows being a big beauty feature these days!

It looks awful.

I just have eyebrows that have massive bald patches in them. Not due to over plucking either.

I need to get them threaded again. I then end up with too thin eyebrows. They have to take more off than I want due to the bald patches and I have to fill bits in with pencil.

I did actually buy some tweezers and stencils but i'm too scared to try.

Might just shave them off and stick fake ones on.

WindMeUpAndLetMeGo · 31/05/2015 21:52

I have scarring in my eyebrows and they are never symmetrical. Still better than slugs though!

I had mine waxed at Benefit so I could get a free Gimme Brow. The girl filled them in with make up afterwards. I looked like Bert from Sesame Street.

Thank god I wouldn't let her tint them.

VixxFace · 31/05/2015 22:07

HD brows look good if they are done right

WindMeUpAndLetMeGo · 31/05/2015 22:28

I agree Vixx, there are just too many bad ones out there!

I was reading Elle magazine and a blanked out eyebrow look is in fashion now. There was tips on how to put concealer followed by white pigment on your brows.
Apparently the lighter the better. It's not a bonny look either.

If you haven't seen it, google Christmas chemo brow, the mickey taking is brilliant!

WindMeUpAndLetMeGo · 01/06/2015 00:32

Shadow just had a look, they're brilliant.

Koala I see variations of them both everyday, and just want to ask them "why?!?!"

TSSDNCOP · 01/06/2015 11:53

The Christmas chemo women are ace!

Koalas examples are not.
