Over plucked eyebrows are just clownish and there is no polite way of
saying that. And the last time they ‘trended’ was in the 90s.Eyebrows
play a great role in framing your face. They can make your features too
small or too large. When over done they either permanently give you an
angry or a surprised face.
The worst form of over plucked eyebrows is when one shaves off everything and draws back a thin
semi circle with a pencil that’s either too dark or too light(sharpies or chola eyebrows). Other eyebrow disasters include mismatched eyebrows(of course we know that no two eyebrows are equal) or patchy eyebrows.
I remember the first time I made my eyebrows, I got carried away with the razor and for a while I had to walk around ‘incision marks’. After swearing off razors, I opted for shaving cream instead and ended up with an equally embarrassing situation. Though the shape came out well if I do say so myself, my brows were left in patches. I think I should add that I didn’t know how to fill in brows.
It is important to get the shape best suited for your brows. Also, know the density of your eyebrows. There are people who don’t necessarily have thin eyebrows but the hairs are thin and light in colour which makes them look barely there. It is still important to shape those eyebrows and fill them in with a brow pencil or powder.
Please note:
> to regrow your eyebrows, throw away the razors
and the tweezers
> if your afraid of how messy your growing eyebrows will look, sport a fringe for a while (usually 3 to 8 weeks or even more depending on how fast/slow your hair grows)
> let nature take it’s course
> once they grow back, go to a professional to have them threaded/tweezed but most importantly SHAPED. You can maintain the shape at home with your tweezer
> if you’re sceptical about the person you want to do your eyebrows, look at the outcome of the people walking out of his/her salon(funny how most
of them are guys)
> if your eyebrows are thin/barely there (naturally), get them shaped and learn how to fill them in.
> if you insist on doing it yourself (DIY), know the shape of your face and what type of brow suits you. You can refer to the picture below, or watch the videos on the links provided below.
