Then again i also used to think blue mascara and eye-liner was the bee knees in the eighties with my spiral perm... so i haven't the right to judge lol

ah yes, electric blue eyeliner and mascara - my DD reckons her generation "discovered" the look last year :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

With thin ones...not all of us have plucked them. Mine fell out at each end (thyroid condition) and so I have none on the outer third to half. Having experimented a lot the best of a bad job is a thin ish 'line' (actually I do a series of lines as an attempt at a less harsh look) More than that draws attention to the lack of hair. I don't have naturally heavy brows anyway, but as they thinned it did look like I was an over plucker.

Sorry LIR, I hope I didn't offend you - I certainly didn't mean to. The eyebrows I was referring to were actually done by some women I knew, all deliberately plucked to be that thin (and with some stubbly bits showing to prove it). It seemed to be a trend a couple of years ago that spread through my workplace like a bush fire, one week all bushy eyebrows, the next week pretty much all gone but for a thin line.....

If I have offended anyone by my previous post, my apologies - I really didn't mean to.

I get mine threaded and tinted (very slightly) but I def don't look like that!!! There's so much of the big brows about just now, in years to come they will all cringe when the see photos!

I know the look you're referring to, but I wouldn't blame it entirely on the HD brows treatment. I have the HD brows treatment done every 4-6 weeks. I like the colour and the shape it gives me. At the end of the treatment, they put some make up stuff on which can give a similar, but far less severe look. I get back in the car, get a baby wipe out and rub it all off (should really tell them not to bother with it). I don't fill in my brows or do anything to them in between treatments and they don't look anything like the painted on 'beast brows' you see around.

I stick to quite a sharp/severe shape, but following the natural lines of the brows, I think it looks good

Mind you I say sharp/severe, but I don't thin them much at all, I just like well defined lines rather than making them skinny.

Of course you haven't! . Please don't feel bad or I will have to now too . I was just pointing out sometimes people have 'odd looks' because they are making the best of a bad job.

In fact very few people notice when I haven't penciled in eyebrows, its not the kind of thing people actively notice...they just think I look a bit startled or nervy or surprised . Its only when I mention it to people and they go 'omg, I'd never noticed, but I see what you mean, and then they notice afterwards '. Before that they just thought I was surprised or had an inappropriate love for my eyebrow pencil

If you value your eye sight, DO NOT do a google image search for "scouse brow". I fear I may not recover from seeing some of those horrors!

You should try googling "eyebrow fail" - I've got naturally fair eyebrows that I need to pencil in or have dyed - but some of the shapes are :eek: :eek: :eek:
