When Eyebrows Go Bad

I don't know how to stress enough how important a good eyebrow is. Eyebrows are what determine whether your face is good-looking or not. You can have the most beautiful face in the world, but if you have bad eyebrows, you will be considered "just okay," and you don't want to be "just okay," do you?

I have NEVER had my eyebrows waxed. NEVER. And you should NEVER get your eyebrows waxed, either! Getting your eyebrows waxed is the worst idea ever. When applying the wax to your eyebrow, one slip and your eyebrows are shit. DO NOT take this chance. Get your eyebrows threaded by a professional once every two weeks. In between this amount of time, you can pluck, but be careful. Don't mess around with it so much!

Actually, I don't believe in giving your eyebrow an actual shape. I believe in going with your natural brow and keeping them as thick as possible. I don't care if it looks like you have two caterpillars on your face, just keep them groomed.

Here are some examples of bad, actually despicable, eyebrows:

The Unibrow

Madonna's daughter, Lourdes Leon got very lucky in life just in general but not so lucky in the eyebrow department. And it's not just the eyebrows, poor thing has a 'stache, too! I'm not going to insult her because she IS going through puberty in this picture, but when a girl gets to the appropriate age for eyebrow grooming (I personally say 15), a unibrow and mustache is easy to fix. A nice thread to the uni and lip and a nice trim of the brows, and she is good to go. 

The Boomerang

As if the shape of the eyebrow looking like a fucking boomerang wasn't enough, the boomerang eyebrow can look like it's in the middle of your forehead. Even though Tyra Banks is known for her five-finger forehead, the boomerang eyebrows do not make it look any smaller. If you have boomerang eyebrows, grow those puppies fully out and go with the natural shape. I beg of you.

The Chola

Do not do this to yourself. I have never seen a single person actually pull this off. Do not sharpie in your eyebrows: logically, you won't even be able to get the same shape every time you draw them on, so what's the point? Do not shave off your eyebrows off, please. When you don't have eyebrows, don't your eyelids get cold? I'm just not understanding, and I'm really trying to look at this from a logical standpoint.

The Hockey Stick

NO. JUST NO.

The Non-Matching Eyebrow

I feel like I shouldn't have to explain why this looks bad because you guys do have eyes and can SEE that it looks atrocious, but you should know that the color of your eyebrows should be one shade lighter than the darkest shade in your hair.

Please, girls. Let's not make these mistakes. And for any guys reading this, my advice to you is DO NOT touch your eyebrows EVER. If you have a unibrow, I guess you can take care of that, but if you are confident enough and carry yourself well, you can make a unibrow look sexy.
