Eyebrows are said to be the natural framers of the face. How I wish I'd listened to my mother when she said go easy with the tweezers. A pair of tweezers was like a combine harvester in my hands back in the day. Everyone had to have an arch & I regret that trend now and have tried to grow the arch out. The gap between two eyebrows is known as glabella (I know, I'm full of useless information). Advice about how wide it should be, where the brow should start and end were presented as gospel by people who claimed to know what they were talking about. Hold a pencil from the side of your nostril (or mid nostril some said) to the brow bone to define the start of the brow they said, but if you've got a wide nose brows can look too far apart and if you have a narrow nose you can end up looking cross. I've thrown in the towel with all the trends. I opt for a natural looking brow in the sense that it's natural for me bearing in mind what I've got left.
What decade had thin eyebrows? In the 90s, thin, low-arched eyebrows graced the pages of Vogue one again, as Kate Moss made waves in the fashion industry. Modelling themselves after her, a generation of women plucked their brows with abandon; some of us took it too far (and have the school photos to prove it).
^ They might not be too far off the mark if you neglect to trim them on a regular basis I imagine. "Fine hairs from the back of the head are removed by either a small linear scar or through tiny little circles around the base of each individual hair follicle and then placed into small, very carefully designed sites in the eyebrow area" We all know hair on the head grows long.
