Eyebrows!

I’m a older female, all my life from teenage years I have plucked my eyebrows, and more recently plucked in a thinner line and somewhat alittle uneven. So I’ve decided to let them grow, probably with age they are taken it’s time but I’m persevering, and hope to take a treat to a beauty salon to have them done nicely. I’ve heard/seen so much of all different ways of having good brows, but do they still pluck the brows? Anyone out there can enlighten me?

I look like Coco the Clown on my 70s passport - plucked arched eyebrows and a startled expression! Next passport was the Leo Sayer look - think curly perm!

I too am of the generation which overplucked eyebrows, but fortunately mine do have something resembling normal brows left. My problem is they are grey, so I go every few weeks to have them tinted which is far easier than painstaking filling in of gaps every morning. It makes such a difference to my overall appearance when I have eyebrows.

Mine are sparse and grow long stiff hairs which I cut with scissors so I can draw nice eyebrows on the site with a Rimmel eyebrow pencil. I always use the wee brush on the end of the pencil to make the line look more natural.

I had the Leo Sayer look in the PM Maternity hospital with second DD in the 70s. My bump was so big I had to have something to wash quickly and dry or I was on the Gaviscon. My other DD squealed and would not come to me when I came in from the hairdresser.

Never plucked my eyebrows as they never were bushy but fine, now they are practically non existent as they are fair , have had them dyed, the beautican just paints the eyebrows ,never plucks, and it lasts 3 - 4 weeks, I once came out with something like 2 large black caterpillars walking across my forehead, never went there again, should have known really ,she looked just the same
