To think my eyes look too harsh?

I agree that I find them too harsh.

Well, I don't see how countless posters telling her they look "lovely," "fine" and "great" is helpful either.

I thought she was definitely NBU, and said so. But thanks for policing my use of language and imagery.

She did say she finds them stupid looking but your comment was a bit harsher. Yeh they’re not permanent but she has to walk round with them like this until it wears off so I don’t see how telling someone they have eyebrows like a cartoon villain is helpful

There’s some horrid people on here.

It’s tricky seeing them in isolation. If that’s the natural colour, and I can see from your hair and skin tone that you probably have strong features, I suspect they look fine.

I’m not sure you need the lamination though tbh.

Also clear mascara (or tinted if you’re like me and need a little color) does a great job getting the shape without the full laminated look. Hair gel with a brow brush does the same but I like a cheap clear mascara with a rounded brush.

They look a teeny bit severe on the interior (there is a distinct vertical line at the start of each brow if that makes sense). Other than that they look nice and not overly done. Good shape. I wouldn’t worry about the crisp lines as they will soften with regrowth. I also don’t think it can be avoided when waxing.

Reminds me of a time I was grocery shopping and a woman grabbed my arm out the blue and asked “please tell me the truth, do my eyebrows look bad!” Poor thing had just had them done and was not loving the results. I told her in all honesty just about the same thing I told you here. Good overall shape but needs a bit of softening. God bless her she walked away muttering something to the effect of “I told her they were too stern”.

Op have you had botox for forehead lines? Or 11s or similar? That can cause brow to drop and sometimes if the muscles in the centre are effected more than the outer edges it can give an angry look or a Spock look. It can usually be corrected by relaxing other muscles.

They do look dark but if it's all the natural shade there's not much you can do about it! They aren't bad by any stretch but would need to see the rest of your face to see how they balance with your other features to offer constructive suggestions.

Excuse me? The OP said she finds them "stupid looking". I agree with her. She didn't do this to herself.

She has good thick dark natural brows, and some idiot has done this to them. The good news is the process is not permanent.

What a horrible comment to make to someone who is unsure of something and obviously conscious enough to ask for opinions. Your comment would have been ok without the first line!!

OP, give it a few days and see how you feel about them. It might just be because it’s something you’re not used to. You have a gorgeous colour and thickness so I’m sure if you didn’t do anything with them they’d look lovely

There are some incredibly rude people on this thread.

OP, your brows are gorgeous. I have eyebrows like Queenie out of Blackadder, and I’ve never even plucked them. They’re just naturally thin.

How anyone can say your brows are ‘harsh’ or whatever when the photo doesn’t even show the rest of your face, I don’t know.

Some people just get off on being rude to strangers on the internet. I can’t fathom it.

They are a bit much

It's because they are brushed up,they don't look natural.

But just to add they don't look awful! They probably just look different to what you're used to.

I'm not a huge fan of laminated brows, but I think if you can trim the ends off they'll look less 'fluffy' and more 'done' - sorry I'm struggling to explain what I mean, but this is what I do to make them look neat and tidy but not just brushed up if that makes sense. Maybe try a photoshop effort first to check you'll like it!

I think they look good.

The colour is hers, they have just been laminated to stand up like that.

I think when you first have them done , it can stand out a bit and look too harsh. They actually look good and the colour will fade a bit. Is that your natural shape? I have naturally thin fair eyebrows but whenever I get them waxed and tinted , and it's only a light brown tint , I always think they look harsh. Just getting used to the darker colour I think

Those are cartoon villain eyebrows. I would brush out the lamination, if that's possible. It's a stupid trend. It will fade in 6-8 weeks apparently. I never let anyone touch my brows - they tend to shape them so I look like a clown.

It’s hard to say without seeing the rest of your face but

• they look good
• if that’s your natural brow and colour (which is beautiful) they probably suit you very well - they are unlikely to be too strong for your face
• good for you for doing some self care! If you decide brow lamination isn’t for you, you can choose something else next time.
• It’s always a surprise when something on your face looks different! In a day or two you’ll stop noticing them.
• Brushing brows up has been trendy for a while but it’s also extremely classic. Look at pics of old Hollywood stars - they all did it.

Yes, it's a really weird thing that was popular a few years ago. It gives you that strange surprised look.

I, for one, had never heard of lamination. So its a perm for your eyebrows to get them to actually look bushy, and stuck up like that on purpose?
I've learnt something new today.

I think they would look better thinned slightly and for the shape to be more curved upwards at the end. Nice colour.

YANBU

If it’s a lamination, they should soften over the next couple of days, keep putting the aftercare treatment on that the therapist should have recommended so they keep hydrated, the hairs should relax over the next couple days
