Eyebrows

I agree with polly123 hate the trout pout and slug eyebrows look.... have seen so many naturally pretty girls succumb to this look

Just For Men is abut £7 and has lasted me for several years. I do it about ever 6 weeks or so. It is a very dry mix so does not drip into eyes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vUUlzLUVhI

I use Maybelline Eye Brow gel - it has tiny fibres and is coloured so brows end up looking a bit darker and thicker. I also have a pencil I use for filling in a couple of areas, but only do that if I am going out these days.

It’s not a look that I like. I think a lot of young women/girls look like pantomime dames with their fat eyebrows and long false eyelashes but each to their own I suppose.

I'm definitely not a fan of the huge thick eyebrows but I'm sure my makeup fashion was frowned upon by my grandparents when I was young. Thankfully our grand daughter doesn't follow that trend.
However, don't get me started on the 'trout' lips! Hideous!

My 12 year old autistic grandson seemed very interested in a group of 4 teenage girls with thick dark eyebrows, sitting across from us on the train. In a loud voice he asked me why did those girls want to look like Angry Birds. He had a point.

That’s brilliant Sarnia!

I can’t abide the eyelashes - I think they’re called Russian eyelashes. I wonder how they open their eyelids!

The problem is they all look the same. It's as if there is a 'look' and they must all have those ridiculous features to conform (slug eyebrows, fat lips, heavy eye make-up). I find it incredibly sad that young women are losing their individuality, because I honestly find it hard to tell one from the other. Young men must also find it hard to choose a suitable partner as they have no idea what the person actually looks like!

Back in the mid-50's, 14 years old, I thought my eyebrows looked too thick and heavy. Did not know that people had them plucked, so I tried to cut mine. Got a gap in them, and then had to use a black eyebrow pencil to cover that up so that my Mum did not notice.
Interestingly, I note that some young actors actually have a gap in their eyebrows as fashion these days.

Has anyone seen the monobrow? Not terribly popular but some people seem to like it.

Oh dear - so many pretty girls making themselves look ugly!

I've said it before on GN but i'll say it again.

Grow a long fringe

Fringe will frame your eyes and no one will see your eyebrows or lack of them

One of the benefits of lockdown and more time on my hands was I had a little rethink over my makeup (which I love) Being impatient, it was always done very quickly.
My over plucked eyebrows were pencilled in, but I realised that I could take a slightly darker and more defined shape. By taking selfies, what I thought was strong enough wasn’t, so now I’m bolder, without being slug like, god forbid.
I like Rimmels eyebrow pencil. Amazingly my mother used it for years and so do I.

I know the expression “in pleats” for helpless with laughter.
Seems to be Liverpool/Merseyside area?

Haha, 'in pleats' I have never heard before, but it makes absolute sense as we would say 'we creased up!'

I've been in a bit of a bitchy mood today so just about everyone on tv (as only him indoors & myself at home) was got at.
One woman, I think she popped up on the news, I quipped up,
"Jeez Louise, have you never ever tried a different make-up look since you first put it on in the 60s?!"
Black panda eyes might have looked good on her then, but she now looked like she'd been assaulted!
And women who never ever try a different hairstyle, going into their 70s plus with the styles they wore at school!!

I have my eyebrows dyed and waxed too every two months and would definitely recommend it. I've never plucked them as I couldn't bring myself to do it. The dye doesn't last that long though, so I just use a gel in between.
