Social Constructions of Beauty Be Damned.

So that you don’t look like a guy. Duh.

I like to clean up my natural brow, so to speak. I pluck out the odd hairs but don’t really do anything to alter the natural shape of my eyebrows. I like the way they look. Not overly concerned about how other people think they look.

My sister has those. They look kinda weird. BUt my brows are out of control. I need to find a happy medium.

well… I do look ‘fuzzy’ with my full bushy eyebows… anyway I keep them far from tiny-teeny, I just look ‘normal’… BTW: unfortunately bushy eyebows aren’t considered sexy, I noted the increased male interest (from about zero) when I started torturing myself for those token 5 minutes every week

It’s an addiction. First you pluck so that you HAVE two eyebrows. Then you go the step to have them waxed. Then you try to wax your face…it spirals down from there until you give up and have one eyebrow again.

You’d be frightened by most girls natural brows. Be glad we pluck. My brows were thick and straight and I made them fabulous.

LOL well to hairy and bushy is EWW… BUT to thin is ICK!

I’ve never really been able to understand what a ‘pretty’ eyebrow is. I don’t think I even notice eyebrows on other people, it’s not something I even consider, so why do I care? Eyebrow maintenance beyond simply keeping it tidy and preventing a unibrow is just stupid.

people maintain their eyebrows?!?!? i have invisible eyebrows due to my light hair, so i guess i don’t get it

I keep mine under control but “under control” means avoiding unabrow because of my dark hair. If I ever have to resort to eyebrow pencil I plan to have myself committed. Be well,

Way weird. I was contemplating my eyebrows today in econ and decided I must be eyebrow-orexic. They’re naturally quite huge and scary, but I’ve been completely addicted to shrinking them ever since 7th grade when I discovered the joys of tweezers. I seriously think it would take a 12 step program for me to stop plucking them. ~*~Kristen~*~

i leave my eyebrows as they are. *nods*

What really gets me are those people who shave/wax/pluck all their eyebrows off and then draw them on. If you were going to draw them back on, why’d you get rid of them in the first place? Sheesh!

To read your notes, it seems like they like it. Probably conditioning.

One word-unibrow. I admit I prefer the natural yet manicured looking brow. Those thin pinned in lines look hoochie-mamaish.

I’d love to clean up my eyebrows but the fact of the matter is I’m too damn lazy.

So that we look prettyful! Although some women take it too far with those thin thin thin eyebrows that don’t even look real! If I did do eyebrow-maintenance I’d have a unibrow and that’s just not pretty on a lady – right up there with bush bikini lines, and curly leg/pit -hairs!! It just aint pretty! *nods*

I clean up a little bit, every once in a long while. I usually only mess with hairs in-between my eyebrows, and don’t mess with the shape. As much as I’d like to look cool, it ain’t happening, no matter what torture to which I subject my eyebrows.

OMG this is so completely the hugest pet peeve of mine! I used to work with this girl who plucked/waxed/whatevered ALL of her eyebrows and then drew them in with a pencil. SHE WAS A FREAK and it grossed me out. I’ve been told I have “the perfect” eyebrows, which makes me feel good. I only pluck little loose hairs. Otherwise I pretty much leave them to their natural state.

i just maintain not having a unibrow. otherwise they’re normal. i prolly look like a man. too much work though.

Man brows on a girl are NOT sexy, but, neither are those weird little tadpole things that girls tend to have. You know, the ones so thin that you pluck one wrong hair and theres a big friggin space and you have to draw it in. I look at eyebrows a lot. I guess I like eyebrows.

we’re competing over eyebrows now??? ruh-roh.
