Oh Gemme, so sorry about your eyebrow incident (seriously, I am). I've had mine waxed a couple times, and I don't care what anyone says, it hurts like hell and I won't do that to myself. Actually, I misspoke before - I don't pluck, I shave the middle and clip the rest.

I'm proud of my eyebrows dammit!!!

My eyebrows did not enjoy this process and they retaliated. They fell out. <---- kinda how I looked at the time

They've grown back some, but I have to use pencil and powder to fill things in.

That's my sad little story of why I covet nice, thick eyebrows like Brooke Shields and probably yours too. Here's the rule of thumb created by beauty "experts": take a pencil and angle it from the inside corner of your eye up. Where it falls should be a good starting point for your brow. Now, is it written in stone? No, because some people look better with the brow a little further in (toward the nose) or a little further back (opening the eye up more).

I absolutely agree that a unibrow is unacceptable but if you've shaved or waxed about at least an inch down the middle, you should be fine. That's a respectable look, imo.

If your girl keeps on you about this, then mention my story and tell her it could be worse....you could none at all.
