s/o: eyebrow ? Is drawn on eyebrows a trend?

[BAMFMrsB]

like this:




I saw a girl at Target last week with comedically dark and obviously drawn on eyebrows like above (light blonde hair, huge slashing drawn on eyebrows), and then at WF on Sunday a girl looked like she had HEAVY stage makeup on but her eyebrown were angular and so strange. DH suggested maybe is WAS stage makeup (like she was a ballerina.... maybe?) but it was traffic stopping.

Like this:



sans the colored hair or eye shadow. Just HUGE, angled dark eyebrows.

I thought it strange to see 2 people with heavy eyebrow makeup in 2 weeks. :^) Do I need to go sit with the olds and tell people to get off my lawn?

I have no idea if its a trend but I've been colouring in my eyebrows for like 10 years.

I hope they don't look that unnatural and I'm just oblivious.

It reminds me of that 90s trend where everyone plucked way too much and drew in their eyebrows SUPER THIN.

Yes! I have a friend that STILL shaves her eyebrows and draws them on with what looks to be liquid liner. Black. Her hair is also black if it matters. Lol.

I see a fair amount of this among a certain alt/goth-kid demographic.

The only person I have ever known to do this is my grandmother, honestly. She has super light eyebrows, but goes way overboard with the drawing.

I see this fairly often. I knew a girl who shaved off hers and would redraw them on.

The only thing I could think was "what happens when you're on a first date and you get caught in a rain storm and your eyebrows smear off your face?"

Were they fairly conservative-looking otherwise or did they seem to have the general style of the bottom girl?

They were both ultra thin - not that it matters, but that is the other physical trait I noticed. # 1 looked like a shlubby college student (I was near the Ga Tech campus) she was wearing a t-shirt + leggings combo, and # 2 was suuuuuuuuuper pretty, which is where DH got ballerina. But if I'd have had to speak to # 2, all I would have bee able to do was stare at her eyebrows. Like "moley moley moley... MOLE" kind of way.

Chola eyebrows?

I saw bad eyebrows like that this week. It was a girl ordering lunch in front of me. She had dyed black hair and huge drawn on black brows. Her skin was fair, which made them even more noticeable.

I have a few girls that do this regularly. They are very artsy type people. They work in tattoo parlors or bars etc.... Trying to refuse a day job or coporate america. They are also performers of some kind. The three girls I know that do this, one if a burlesque dancer, one is a sword swallower and the other is a fire breather/dancer.

[daisybuchannan]

I'm pretty sure the people who do that are aware it's a "statement".

I mean, it doesn't look good AT ALL, but they think it does, so KOKO?

This is still very common here in SoCal.  Unfortunately I bought into the stupidity as a teen in the 90s and now I have thin eyebrows that will never grow back.    I have to color them in but definitely not like this.

Why do women want to look like drag queens? No bueno.

[mrsericnorthman]

I know a couple of people who do their brows like that but they're cosplayers or whatever so that's a good excuse right?

It's simply not a good look. My eyebrows are pretty thin and I use a dark brown eyeshadow and an angled brush to fill. Less is more!

[bonquiqui]

This look is never a trend.  People just do not follow directions well

That's what I do.  I try to keep it as natural looking as possible.

[Some Funny Name]

My grandma does that. There are a lot of cholo brows in my area, too.

So, it's for the olds and the cholos. LOL.

[itsme]

Oh and yes I have pictures of me with lined lips and no lipstick as shown above. Gah what was I thinking? n My sister still does the eyebrow thing...

Because, Rupaul is a better looking woman than I am.

Yep. I have an acquaintance who's girlfriend is incredibly gorgeous, but her fucking drawn on, cartoon eyebrows are so distracting. I did an inward HRH Queen Dick I, Orphan "oh....honey..."

I fill in my brows, but most people have said that they couldn't tell after I told them.

Drawn on dramatic eyebrows are not a good look. They're so friggin' distracting when you're trying to talk to someone and they have super dramatic eyebrows..

No, no, no. I fill mine in, too. I'm talking about cartoon, weird looking costumey shit.

My BIL's 20 y/o gf does this. She looks exactly like the picture evee posted. Just add dimple piercings, bright red lipstick and chest tattoos and you've got the gf.

[Deleted]

Yes. My friend does this and almost all the girls I work with. I hate it.
