Aibu to think that HD 'tattoo style' eyebrow looks absolutely terrible

I see people who have had them done and all I can see is their eyebrows. Why do people do this to themselves?

AIBU? I think I must be the only person who thinks the trend for the HD brow is awful.

I agree.

Makes a face, no matter how attractive ... ugly!

SnakeyMcBadass · 15/10/2013 11:54

No, I also think it makes you look like an extra from Lazy Town. Hideous. The same effect can be replicated by using a thick permanent marker, preferably in an unlikely shade of red.

Is this a 'thing', I feel so old, I have no idea what HD eyebrows are?

mistyshouse · 15/10/2013 11:56

ha you would hate mine then

mine are semi permanent (ie tattoo'ed on). i had them done as i have almost no real eyebrows due to over plucking. they are hundreds and hundreds of tiny hair strokes drawn on and made into the perfect shape eyebrow

i absolutely love them and personally think i look way better now

Yanbu. Flipping freakish things, scare the living daylights out of me!

AndysMildAdventures · 15/10/2013 11:58

It depends. If they aren't a natural colour they can look silly but a natural colour can look really good. I get eyebrow envy!

BunnyLebowski · 15/10/2013 11:59

When done properly HD brows can be lovely. Just a natural and fuller looking brow where it's really sparse originally.

However the blocky, dark, drawn on with a sharpie look is all sorts of wrong.

DP's sister has blonde extensions hair and horrible heavy coal black eyebrows. So deeply unattractive.

Bunny

I need a link to a natural looking pair, I have only encountered horrific looking things that are square, scarey and dark black

I have mine done but I go for the shape rather than a strong colour - I leave them their natural colour and I'm happy with them

Feminine · 15/10/2013 12:05

misty I think yours sound fine.

Normal.

Black caterpillars are not! Grin

piratecat · 15/10/2013 12:07

how long do these brows last. what are they done with?

BunnyLebowski · 15/10/2013 12:11

Good

Baaaaad

wineandwinetta · 15/10/2013 12:11

Not sure maybe someone could enlighten us

Haaaaaa! Bunny that second photo is awful!!! Why? Why? It's as attractive as a thick moustache!

piratecat · 15/10/2013 12:14

pmsl they are Robbie Rotten aren't they.

just awful!!!

lazy brows

Brodicea · 15/10/2013 12:16

Eyebrow fashions change quite frequently and dramatically (think 1970s Mia Farrow vs 1980s Brooke Shields) so I'd worry about having these tattooed! I guess it's just semi-permanent though?

mistyshouse · 15/10/2013 12:16

lol mine are deffo not black caterpillars

they are dark brown though but i have dark brown hair

they last up to 4 years and i think they are done with a pigment similar to tattoo ink but mineral based i think

if i didnt have them retouched (which i deffo will be doing!) they would fade entirely within 4 years

Brodicea · 15/10/2013 12:17

LOL pirate!

FeckOffCupofBatBlood · 15/10/2013 12:42

Grin at extra from Lazy Town. Who would have had Robbie Rotten down as a trendsetter.

SaskiaRembrandtVampireHunter · 15/10/2013 12:45

YANBU It makes people who have them look like lost members of some weird, Alistair Darling impersonators club.

wineandwinetta · 15/10/2013 13:03

Grin ha ha lazy town yes yes!

Grin Crying with laughter at Lazytown/Robbie Rotten comments, they do look ver' ver' odd, imo...

usuallyright · 15/10/2013 13:16

I know a couple of people with HD brows. It makes them look permanently angry.

HulaHooperStormTrooper · 15/10/2013 13:17

I know someone with them. I do think they only look good on dark haired people and even then only when they are wearing make up.

pigletmania · 15/10/2013 13:20

They are dreadful, like two hairy caterpillars. I have natural HD brows and I hate them, so have them plucked
