What do you think of brow lamination? Good look or no?

[PeppyPiggy]

where all the brow hair are made to kind of go in one upwards uniform direction

I can't work out whether I like it or whether it looks weird? what do others think of this?

The lips on that Instagrammer!

It seems that the current fashion is to look like a blow up sex doll if that influencer is anything to go by
Honestly I despair at the downward trend of women's rights and the willingness of women to perpetuate fashion trends focussed on men's ideals of beauty.

i'm interested in this as I have good shaped but naturally thin eyebrows however I don't want to look like that influencer!

Bloody awful, but still better than the over plucked brows I had in the early 90’s!

Vetenari, I agree. The "dragification" of the ideal female aesthetic these days is hideous. These "influencers" look like caricatures.

I DIYd mine at home a week ago with a lash lift kit and I'm very pleased with the results. I'm not an Instagram dragesque influencer, but a 50 year old with thinning menopausal brows - they look much fuller and I've had loads of compliments.

I used soap to test out how they'd look and then dived in! I used an Icon lash kit from Amazon which cost about fifteen quid, leftover from when I've done lash lifts.

I used to do this in the 80's with hair gel and a cleaned mascara wand.

My SIL is a beautician and OMG me and DH are regularly shocked and amused by the horrifically over the top, super heavy, ‘Instagram worthy’ pictures she posts, including the brow lamination.
Quite vile and I know no one in real life who would pay to have something so ugly!

I think they look very fake, I don’t like them at all.

I like them. Maybe because I'm younger I don't know. We've moved away from the thin, overplucked eyebrow look to a thicker, fluffier look. I used to over pluck mine but mow i hardly touch them, it's nice to embrace big brows now 😂I wonder what the next trend will be.

They look really stupid.

I just tried it with my toothbrush. One eye brow looks great, the other goes really wonky. I'm older agnes the eye brow hairs have become wayward.

I truly, truly hate them. They look daft as lights.

I asked about this at my usual beauty salon the last time I had my lashes done and they said that while they do offer it, only one of their beauticuans does it because after two or three werks, youre left with the straight eyebrows AND normal eyebrow hair regrowth and it just looks messy.

You can get it done again but have to wait 8 weeks between treatments or it can damage the brow hair.

She said they look OK on younger women who’re going for a fashion look (as illustrated above in those ridiculous pictures) but on anyone over 30, they just look like werewolf brows.

Bahhaahaa hahaha What happens when you have too much money and time on your hands and no taste.

I agree with Vetenari and Wereallsquare the increasing fashion for women to look like drag acts is just ridiculous

I think you could achieve a similar look from soap brows. Search angiedib on Instagram. She is an MUA who uses soap brows on clients.

I had mine laminated, just for the fun of it. And I agree at first it looks awful because they are being permed upwards and you can't get them wet for the first 24 hours.
However after they've calmed down a bit they are so lovely! And you don't have to have them brushed up all the time if you don't want

Yes, perhaps it’s a generational thing. I’m in my early 20s and don’t think laminated eyebrows nor the influencer I posted look as terrible as some of you are describing

DD is 19 and hates the fake look demonstrated on here.

@mnthrowaway202020 do you not think the lips look ridiculous? I don't mind the brows, much better than the sharpie ones but I hate the trend for plastic looking skin with the white sparkling bits on the nose tip or cheekbone. I don't understand why everyone on insta looks the same & are so shiny.

One of my young colleagues gets this done to her eyebrows. It looks like me aged about 8 when I used to wash my face with soap and a flannel, but never bothered to rinse properly so the soap would set my eyebrows

It's so expensive being young and self-conscious these days, and most of this stuff is totally unnecessary and doesn't enhance natural beauty at all. It's almost like putting on a disguise.

Nope, just horrible.

@bizzybuzzy yes the highlighter could certainly be toned down, I don’t like the blatantly overdrawn lips either, especially as her lips are already full. I just don’t think she looks as horrendous as some posters are making out - I’ve seen worse! Maybe I just chose bad photos as I was only focused on the eyebrows!

the eyebrows are a bit furry in the 2nd pic tbf.

i might try the soap thing though

@mnthrowaway202020 Hmm I don't know, DSD is 22 and said she looks fake and not a look she would like to emulate.
