Opinions on eyebrow shape for wedding

72 replies

eyebrowseyebrows · 15/09/2017 16:12

So I've just had a make up trial for my wedding...

The shape that my make up person made my eyebrows is really quite different to how I normally have them.

She's happy to do whatever I want but obviously feels her way suits me better which has now made me wonder if she's right and I've had the wrong eyebrows all this time Shock

In this pic I've kept one eyebrow as per the make up stylist and one how I would normally wear it...

Opinions on whether the one on the left of the photo or right of the photo is better?

As an aside...seeing how lopsided my face looks with different eyebrows makes you realise how important they are!

Eyebrows totally frame your face, I had no idea until I got hd brows done - now a total eyebrow freak Confused
I think the left on the photo looks better. But it's personal preference and what you feel most comfortable with as it's your day.

I think the left on the photo looks better (which would be the one over your right eye). You need to feel comfortable on your day though xx

Justgivemesomepeace · 15/09/2017 16:18

I would say the one on the left is a bit on the heavy side but shaped better than the one on the right.the one on the right starts to far to the middle of your eye. So probably somewhere between the 2 is where I would like them!

Left is lovely Hun xx

CantRememberHoliday · 15/09/2017 16:20

Left!! 100%

AllTheAnimals · 15/09/2017 16:20

I'd go with the one on the right, but they both look nice.

Isadora2007 · 15/09/2017 16:21

Somewhere between the two!

The left looks too shaped for my liking but the right too thin.

Not much help am I???

SerfTerf · 15/09/2017 16:21

Left.

Hotpinkangel19 · 15/09/2017 16:21

Left!

nigelsbigface · 15/09/2017 16:21

Left as you look at the picture...

CruzRamirez · 15/09/2017 16:22

Yes, the left. I don't like overdone brows but that's a nice shape and looks natural.

user1494187262 · 15/09/2017 16:23

Left

eyebrowseyebrows · 15/09/2017 16:23

Okay...this is good. The one on the left is my usual eyebrow (done by moi) and the one on the right is by the make up artist (which I dislike).

I was a bit underwhelmed by the make up TBH, she came highly recommended but I feel like I prefer my own make up...

I think the one on the left is better as it frames your eyes and balances your face. I think you will look stunning on your wedding day.

I noticed that I had over plucked the inner points of my eyebrows and I looked so much better with them grown in. I think the makeup artist has done a good job and extended the inner points a little.

eyebrowseyebrows · 15/09/2017 16:25

@PookieSnackenberger

The one on the left is my handiwork!

The make up artist did the thin, rounded one that starts later...

Oh you're good then. Can you come and do mine?

Find a new MUA, definitely.

PookieSnackenberger · 15/09/2017 16:25

OMG just read your pp. Stick with what you're doing as you're doing a MUCH better job!

GremlinGreen · 15/09/2017 16:27

I agree with Justgivemesomepeace. So I'd prefer the shape of the left brow in the photo, but a bit softer and thinner.

I would add that strongly defined, thick brows are fashionable now, but may look dated in years to come, so makeup-wise its best to look as classic as possible for your wedding.

BackieJerkhart · 15/09/2017 16:28

The one on the left is much better. Did the MUA do the eye make up you are wearing too?

Persemillion · 15/09/2017 16:28

Left, but slightly subtle.

Notreallyarsed · 15/09/2017 16:28

Left looks better. I got HD brows yesterday after hating my eyebrows since my early teens (I overplucked in the 90s!) and they were a revelation! Even my old dad who wouldn't notice if I shaved my head commented that I looked lovely but he couldn't work out why (aye cheers da 😂)

IdentityRequest1 · 15/09/2017 16:37

Do your own makeup for the wedding Wink

PutOnAHappyFace · 15/09/2017 16:37

Your eyebrow is a million times nicer and neater.

eyebrowseyebrows · 15/09/2017 16:38

@BackieJerkhart

Yes, this is the full make up look the MUA did (except the one eyebrow!).

I do feel like I can do a better job myself TBH. I may just book into the salon down the road from the venue for my hair and then do my own face!

Wait - so the left of your picture. Your right eye brow you did that yourself and your left one was by a trained mua
