Funny looking eyebrows

hyacinth003 — Thu, 03 May 2018 07:40:08 GMT

Was watching IT Cosmetics the other night.

One of the models has very thin eyebrows, so they did hers. I could see her real brows under what they applied. It looked strange.

Am I the only one that thinks they often overdo the brows? I would never do my brows the way they often illustrate.

I agree.....but i think not only are they going a bit overboard with the eyebrows lately.....but make up overall.......most of the hosts these days seem to have alot of make up on and thicker false eyelashes, etc...................to me...it doesn't do them any favors....

I've noticed that the new trend seems to be thick, painted-on eyebrows. I agree that it looks funny, especially when you can see the thin line of real eyebrows surrounded by the color that's been drawn on. Looks bizarre. I wish that thick eyebrows had been the style back when I was younger and had thick, hairy eyebrows. Would've saved me hours of time plucking those things!

I can no longer watch the IT Cosmetics shows for various reasons -- and it seems that every time I flip over to QVC, it's an IT show. Ugh.

@hyacinth003 I saw that show too and her eyebrows looked horrible. I don't think they even took the time to match the color well because it didn't look natural at all.

Ah...yes.

I have an IT brow pencil that I got in a sample bag, and I overdrew my eyebrows with it the other day. It has one of those stupid tips that is oval instead of having a regular point.

Stupid tip = stupid-looking brows

Not only that, but what is up with companies saying their brow pencils are a universal color? That's ridiculous. There is no one brow color for everyone.

Oh how I wish I had eyebrows. I can count the hairs (on one hand) in both of them.

I had cataract surgery Tuesday and cannot wear make-up until Saturday. I look like a light bulb. (with nice hair)

Oh my, I feel your pain. I can count mine too. Gone are the days when I had to pluck several times a week. I've taken to wearing bangs the last 2 years in case it's one of those days when I'm in a hurry and don't do a bangup job of penciling them on. Yet as I've said several times on this board when there are discussions of hair loss......it's getting worse all the time with the eyebrow and hair on the head loss yet the chin hairs and moustache keep on keepin on.

@mistriTsquirrel I have used their universal brow pencil (the original pencil) for years. You can press lightly for a light taupe or heavier for dark brown...no one should have blonde brows, black brows, red brows or grey brows, so this pencil has everyone else pretty well covered.

If you have an occasion to watch the old Perry Mason the eyebrows are just terrible! Too dark,too thick and look like they are painted on!

The new trend in eyebrows was supposed to be a more natural look but many of them are anything but. My girlfriend's daughter works as a makeup artist for Clinique - her brows look like they're done with a magic marker - awful. I'd never want her doing my makeup or getting advice from her.

The one It blond young vendor (use to be a model for It) has the worst eyebrows I have ever seen. Drawn on like crayon... look like Joan Crawford eyebrows. Why she does this to herself it the question....

@WenGirl42 I’ve never seen those color brow products look natural. Universal Taupe is called that for a reason. Blonde is too light, what’s the point? Black brows are harsh & red heads even if they have light brows need some definition & red shades for them are usually too orange. If you have grey hair...same thing...the face needs definition at the brows. If they need to be filled in, why do it w/ grey pencil that won’t add lift or color?

@Shanus I don't think it looks right. It's too cool-toned for me. Anyway, I'm not sure why you think that no one should have brows that match their hair color. That seems odd to me. I like my brows to be close to my hair color.

My natural brows have always been dark and heavy. I have been tweezing them since 7th grade. I hate heavy brows.

The new heavy brows that are on trend look masculine to me. Sometimes they are distracting when a female pencils them on.

They are as bad as that old practice of penciling around the lips with a brown color, then filling them in with a more natural lipstick. Make- up is supposed to enhance your beauty, not take over your face.

@SeaMaiden She’s not the only one. Brows are having a “moment” thanks to social media. Not everyone gets it right. The idea is to lightly fill in, not re-create or draw on brows you don’t have.

The very pretty blonde vendor representing IT cosmetics has drawn on brows that do her no favors. I have never seen in the real world anyone with drawn on brows. Only on QVC do they pile on the fake lashes and phony looking brows.

It really does amaze me that anyone thinks all that "goop" makes them look attractive.

@mistriTsquirrel What color is your hair? When my hair was dark brown, a dark pencil was too harsh against my fair complexion, taupe worked better. With my grey hair and brows still dark, I still use taupe.

@Carmie You’re right. Any harsh lines or shades after a certain age is not doing us any favors.
