Eyebrows????? - Page 2

lyric · 05-03-2010, 03:53 PM

I've plucked my eyebrows since the fifth grade when a boy said to me, "Did you know that having a unibrow is a sign that someone might be a werewolf?" I, did, indeed, have the beginnings of a unibrow, so I ran home and began plucking almost from that day. I've had them waxed, too, but I only do that every six months or so. They're pretty easy to maintain in between wax sessions (except for that one time when I did some sort of a wacky pluck job and my eyebrows ended up looking like 2 sperm about to knock heads).

One night, Toxic was watching me do my brows and the plucking discussion happened. She ended up asking me if I would do hers, so I did, very minimally, just to clean up the center and underneath the arch a bit. We've done it a couple of times since, and even though she doesn't enjoy it (she yells a lot during the process... LOL) she's asked me to do it anyway. I think as long as they are neat and look well-groomed, thickness doesn't make much of a difference.

Maybe it does mean one is a werewolf!

Look what happens if you lose control.

Bad_boi · 05-03-2010, 05:01 PM

Mine are thick and fuzzy. I am polish so its in my genes to have thick hair. I keep the middle shaved so it does not look like I have a unibrow but other than that I leave them alone. I think overly manicured eyebrows would look creepy on me.

Hey Darth, Ever thought about electrolysis? It's a permanent solution.

Heh....I think my idiot supervisor at work shaves hers, then draws 'em back on. They are longer across than any natural person's I've ever seen. When my sister was visiting, she got a look at her and said, "Oh my. She shaves her natural eyebrows, then paints them back on!!! <insert wild cackling laughter here>".

Why do some women do that??

They eyebrows, that is.....not the pointing and laughing bit my sister did.

I did bring a boyfriend to get his unibrow waxed many moons ago. I was getting something done, so I suggested it to him.

I thought he looked really good with it a bit cleaner.

I don't think he kept it up.

His unibrow didn't disgust me; I just thought maybe he would have liked the ummm...change.

I did!

(I think he enjoyed how it looked...but I don't think he would do it again on his own (?)...and there was no force or coercion involved!)

Enchantress · 05-03-2010, 06:13 PM

I am an eyebrow fan (well groomed ones that is). No pain no gain (or so I've heard). As for my own, I frequent the Benefit eyebrow bar, it's muy fabuloso!!

It's important to go with the natural line however. Don't over pluck. If you do, trust me, you'll be sorry.

*nodding*

As a side bar: I'm not sure Butches will feel extremely comfortable in the Benefit bar. However, one never knows ; ) It may be pink and pretty but the women who do the shaping are cute, friendly and quite talented!

I have my eyebrows done.
"Threading" is far better than waxing.
For those who do not know what this process uses a cotton string using a twisting motion, to trap hair in a mini lasso that pulls up each hair right out of the follicle as it passes along the skin.
It’s faster than waxing because it doesn’t require much prepping of the skin, applying product or strips and It's better for your skin.

Some women do that, but as a few of us have already said in here, some of us don't HAVE eyebrows or they are very, very sparse and it's necessary to "draw" eyebrows on in order not to look really weird.

I would not have been kind or gentle with your sister for saying that. A little insensitivity goes a long way.

The way my supervisor has them is really bizarre looking.

I can understand using a little artwork to fill in sparse brows and such, and I think most women who do this really end up looking nice, but oh my....my supervisor!!!! Hers just makes anyone do a double take. She really has made hers appear almost clownish. That's what my sister was looking and laughing at, I think. She's up on this stuff and I'm really not. I just know that it looks very, very bizarre.

Too bad one of you pretty Femmes can't take that silly woman by the hand and show her how it's done.

Thoughts?

Yeah, I got a thought. I thought "if the gf is always up yer ass about this kinda trivial shit, what fresh hell will you encounter when the two of you disagree about something that actually matters".
