Magic Marker Eyebrows

[ Edited ]

I have watched a number of different beauty shows over the years (watching IT Cosmetics right now). Not once have I seen natural looking eyebrows on any of the models, hosts, or vendors. They all look like they have been drawn on the face with magic markers. What the heck? 

 

Think Uncle Leo's eyebrows (Seinfeld)...

But their product will make your brows look so natural!  

It's the little things.

I think they all use a stencil a la Kardashian.  They all have perfect "Kim" eyebrows.

That Desiree is a beautiful charming girl but those eyebrows give her a perpetually surprised look. It was weird listening to her talk about how natural that product makes your eyebrows look when hers look anything but! Her skin looks absolutely flawless though. And she's easy to listen to. No uhms every 5 seconds.

I totally get what you're saying.  They probably do use a stencil.  They look like product, not natural eyebrows touched up.

Omg...that's sooo funny.  And scary because I almost walked around looking like that...lol  Now that fuller, darker brows are instyle; my lush full eyebrows are among the missing..lol  I pencil them in to make them darker, I have near black hair and I love that dark hair/dark brow/bright lip look.  So, I saw this ad on FB a while ago.  Don't laugh..lol  It was an eyebrow "stamp".   Looked good when it came.  There's a pallet of color and you take the "stamp" and "stamp" the eyebrow on.  Not a bad idea but the brow is a Grouch Marx eye brow...I'm not kidding..lol   The color is black/black and the brow is thick and I looked like the guy in this picture ....hubby burst out laughing and called me Groucho.  He was not wrong...lol   And it was hard to get off!!!

LoL  Well, at least now they're "on trend."

 

Not that they won't still look back and wonder what in the world they were thinking.

 

20 years from now, I think the big, fake eyebrows will be seen as the most regrettable fashion/beauty trend of this time period.

Last night I stopped in a Mexican restaurant to take out.  The young Hispanic girl at the register had drawn on her eyebrows.  It looked horrible.  She made her brows too big and long.  I don't believe these women look in the mirror!  However, my taco dinner was delicious!

One of the young tellers at the bank I use has those drawn eyebrows.

She looks like Groucho Marx

I have to say, this trend with the huge eyebrows is not a good look.  We were at the grocery and the checkout girl had huge eyebrows that had to have been stenciled in.  They must have been a half inch wide and five inches long.  I had to pinch my husband to make him stop staring.  We got in the car and he said wth was that?  I told him the young lady had probably used a stencil of some sort and drawn them on.  The look on his face was priceless!
