Natural brow or thin line arch

Do you have natural brows or a thin line arch?
Do you pluck 'em thin or wear them "as is"?
Mine are "as is" which isn't very good but my glasses cover them up! I don't pluck, I'm a wimp!! My friend Eileen has the nicest brows and I asked her to do mine just like hers and she told me, What? I don't do anything? Her "natural" is very pretty!"

hugs, train

Mine are natural, hidden behind glasses, but I get them waxed occasionally to keep the 'strays' at bay. Because they are VERY blonde I occasionally have them tinted or use a pencil

I am a unibrow so plucking and waxing are definites! Lately the hairs are white, so I can cover the grey in my hair but not in my face! The line is nice though so just a bit of thinning works well.

Ellen, you can have eyebrows tinted when you have your hair done (that's if you do!!) also your eyelashes. I'll have my eyelashes dyed before dd's wedding, because I'm sure to weep and mascara always runs for me lol. Also a pencil can colour them too. But then, who really minds?

I have a natural brow.I do pluck some strays every 6months or so? ...I hate to see such lovely women with the severe thin line..it give a harsh look to them.

Now, I hate owl eyebrows too..My hubby grows them..and I am triming his all the time..lol Just so they don't poof over his glasses..lol

Hugs, Janet

Mine are very blond and due to thyroid problems tend to fall out. I use a pencil to fill in.

chuckle Natural brow gal!

Mine are natural (although my 18 year old daughter is horrified!). My brows are brown and are not bushy, so I don't really need to do much. I probably should remove a stray hair or too! "Threading" is very popular out here (in California) for brows, but I've never tried it.

Hi Connie,

I've never tried it, but my dd and my son's fiance have. I believe that it is a middle-eastern technique. The cosmetician literally uses a thick thread and presses it next to the brow hairs that are to be removed (hairs are removed one by one). I don't know how, but by pressing the thread next to the follicle and then pulling it up and across, the hair pulls out. My dd says it costs about $9 and takes about 15 minutes. The place she goes to always has a line out the door of women waiting!
