Ladies what is it with the eyebrows?!

SantaHoe

Well it's saturday night, and as a dedicated follower of... er nerdness, I've been talent-spotting on hotornot.com
Now is it just me? or do those drawn-on-with-pencil-looking eyebrows really make a bad situation worse?
Ok so nobody wants a uni-brow, but for the love of God know where to STOP.

Pepe LeFrits

i'm with you, its not the most attractive thing a lady can do to herself

Lainey

yes... i agree.. they are crappy looking

flogen

agreed, if they are unable to pluck a reasonable amount off so that they look good but still contain actual hair, then they should be made to suffer with a uni-brow forever.. one thats so heavy their forhead weighs down their face.

Just in case any men need tips on plucking.

I think there's a two-for-one offer out there:

"Have your eyebrows plucked into permanent, terrified retreat, and you too can get a set of ten acrylic nails to scratch your rival's eyes out!"

i love pluckin my eyebrows, and i hate eyebrpws so it works well for me!

lois gives me her shaven eyebrow clippings and I glue them on in supplement to my own, sadly I was not blessed with a hairy forehead.

I dunno, I kinda like the no-eyebrows/drawn-on look.

Chinafoot

everything in moderation. plus it hurts like a truckin mutha!

Waxing all the way baby. If the beauty therapist rips off too much, sue her ass, that's my motto.

I gots a good one.

Isn't it a funny world when you pay people to rip your hair out. In a way, I even enjoy it.

Well as long as they're not bushy, prominent eyebrows are sexy.
Ooh, and what's with the girls that pluck em off and draw em back on?

Apply hot water first when removing any hair, it relaxes the skin / hair follicle.

Yup, I agree totally.

Sarky

I have no opinion, it's all about the personality underneath.

This might be funny, only I meant it.

i like to shape my eyebrows and give them definition, but i wouldn't dream of plucking them off completely, i wouldn't be able to draw decent ones back on:p

Well goth chicks can get away with it, since it draws attention away from the rest of their freakish visage... one step closer to looking like a ghool

I don't think there's a very fine line between a classy pluck-job and looking like something... not human.
It's a pretty wide line, but like anorexics who think they're still too fat, some people just don't know where to stop.

Drawn on eyebrows = crap

I think you hit the nail on the head there, there are some women who wanted a particular look and just went too far, and then theyre fucked becuse they dont want the half grown eyebrow stubble before they can pluck the shite out of that to get back to what they wanted in the first place...... basic rule of thumb for women ... if you use a pencil of any kind on your eyebrows ...you look like a knacker

Isn't it just knacker birds who do this? I've never seen a respectable girl with drawn-on eyebrows. It's usually just the skanky "howa yis". The brown sauce & curry eater type....

eh i use a pencil on my eyebrows and i look far from a knacker.
i just use it to define my fairly lightly coloured eyebrows a little. you cant even tell i use one

i think like with the fake tan there's a huge difference between looking good and guys not knowing the difference, and getting it all wrong and looking a state.

unfortunately i think 99.9% of females cant do the fake tan thing right.

carbonkid

eyebrows are pretty...stop pluckin em girls!!!!
there was a girl in my class in school who used to pluck her eyebrows till there
was like the smallest line.
made her face look like the mcdonalds tradmark M....that and it mad her look like a fat head:p

seamus

I had a dream the other night that somehow I lost all but a few stray eyebrow hairs. I have bushy eyebrows, so it looked very weird.

Definitively speaking, who says you don't look like a knacker? Isn't more of a case of "I personally don't think I look like a knacker, therefore I don't"....all a question of perception really, if you think about it. Knackers don't actually think they are knackers, that's why it's so much fun to slag them

get a grip... even models use eye brow pencil.. goes to show what you know.. when you shape your brows, most women have to fill them in to define them.. plus, i'm presuming the poster is talking about women who virtually pluck/wax their brows off so they can then DRAW a line in.. :rolleyes:

Barbie_666

theres a girk at my skool with hers tatooed on...

it looks ****e...

herbie747

I'm mainly referring to the knackers who try to imitate the models by doing it...
Models can do it with a bit of style, and it looks classy because they look the part.

Well yeah, but not even that much... that pic of Christina someone posted... her eyebrows don't look that horrendous but its possibly because she's had a professional do it and followed up with some good shading, added to the fact that she's pretty stunning anyway.
On most girls I think the same DIY extreme-pluck job would look rotten.
I've seen eyebrows plucked in a way that they point down too much... making the person look like they're constantly scowling... or too high, so there's a constant surprised expression... looks hilarious.

Also some people have more defined... hmm how can I describe it? Imagine you completely waxed your eyebrows off... you'd see a sort of pad area of skin where the hair used to be... you can tell that's the original hairline, it just looks so obvious and stupid imo.
It really doesn't work for a lot of people...
