To think my eyes look too harsh?

I’m trying to do more self care, I had ny brows done a couple of days ago. I think they look awful. I have naturally big brows but this is stupid looking.

I just want to look more polished and 🥺 yeah ..

What did you have done? Sorry but I don't think they look natural at all.

I mean that is 100% all my hair - no tint or any other colour treatment.

Thry have been laminated so the hairs fixed into a certain position.

They look fab, wish mine were like this!

PresidentBarklett · 22/09/2024 22:09

They're lovely- thick, strong and natural looking. I'm another one saying to brush them down, but that's only because I don't love the brushed up look on anyone.

Learnfromexperience · 22/09/2024 22:06

I think they look great!

I'm so jealous. I lost my eyebrows because of my alopecia and I'd love to have eyebrows like yours.

gretathegremlin · 22/09/2024 22:03

Give it a couple of days and they'll have faded to something more natural.

It's been a while since I had my brows done, but I always used to scare the bejeez out of myself passing a mirror for the first day or two.

DrinkElephants · 22/09/2024 22:03

I don’t think they look natural so can understand why you may not like them but I think they’re very on trend for eyebrow styles atm. If I saw someone with your brows I wouldn’t think anything of it.

RoachFish · 22/09/2024 21:57

That style was quite popular a few years ago but I really don’t like that look and it looks quite dated now. Eyebrow hairs shouldn’t stand right up like that and although they are nice and full they don’t look tidy at all. I would just brush them so that they follow the natural line of your brows.

SaltedPotato · 22/09/2024 21:55

Also depends where in the UK you are believe it or not.

Whatthefuck3456 · 22/09/2024 21:49

Girls in Liverpool would love your brows. And that’s not a negative I think they look great!

Timetosparkle478 · 22/09/2024 21:48

Did you have a brow lamination? Or just wax? Threading?

JC03745 · 22/09/2024 21:46

I too was going to say rather than brushing them up into a bush, brush across into a more normal brow line. They look neat and tidy, just un-naturally brushed upwards!

LastNight1Dreamt1WentToManderleyAgain · 22/09/2024 21:46

They're lovely! The colour is great...you could experiment with highlighters sweeping out just along the bone under the brows.

outdamnedspots · 22/09/2024 21:44

Just brush then back down to a more natural position.

Pigeonqueen · 22/09/2024 21:42

Well they look very fashionable. That’s exactly the kind of shape and size loads of women would love at the moment. If you’re not keen on them you can always pluck them slightly to change the shape, unless you’ve had them micro bladed?

WhichEllie · 22/09/2024 21:41

Getting brows “done” can mean lots of different things, including tinting (as one poster thought) and microblading. What did you have done? Are you asking about the shape of them?

Childfreecatlady · 22/09/2024 21:40

My brows look very similar when they are brushed up and while they are nice, I feel the really thick brows don't suit my fave, so I brush them diagonally a bit more to make them less thick but brush the hairs above the nose straight up and cut them to even everything out. I think this would work well on you too.

MamasitaGringita · 22/09/2024 21:37

They look fantastic. You're very lucky.

MountUnpleasant · 22/09/2024 21:35

CultureAlienationBoredomandDespair · 22/09/2024 21:18

Would they look better brushed over? The look like they’ve been pushed up (are they laminated?) but you can see where the natural shape would fall and I think that would make them look softer.

Yeah, I was going to suggest this. They're brushed upwards so they look more bushy than they are!

TheYearOfSmallThings · 22/09/2024 21:31

They look fine to me.

Weddingfrock · 22/09/2024 21:29

I’ve got brow envy. They look great!

They look great! They look full and even and natural.

They’re always a bit dark at first but that will calm down once the dye on the skin has faded.

Unfortunately there’s no tint on them, my brows are naturally dark and I’ve learnt from past experiences to specifically request to leave them the colour they are.

They're fine, you'll get used to the change in a couple of days - it always looks weird in your opinion when you do them for the first time or after a long break.

AylesBuck · 22/09/2024 21:20

They look great!

Emmadaily · 22/09/2024 21:19

They look lovely
