I don't know anyone who actually shaves them off but I know a few who pluck them till they are almost bare then pencil in. I personally don't like eybrows too thin. I get mine threaded and have them not too thick, not too thin, Natural looking.

Maybe the people drawing them in have very light coloured or sparse eyebrows and have to do it?

It's bizarre, and (particularly on the more mature lady) looks awful.

I think it's cuz the eyebrow plucking goes wrong.
The line goes wonky or too thin and looks really bad, so all that's left for it is to take it away and start again with pencil. |

This is my first post ever! I feel strongly about eyebrows (and the lack of them) so was compelled to join in!
Anyway, I have always thought how stupid and cheap this looks and I want to start a movement, 'Bring Back Eyebrows' Who's joining me?? I incidentally not only have a healthy sized arch, but I also have them tinted darker to make them more prominent. |

Threading gives a very tight finished look, I'm a big fan. If I have my brows waxed I end up with massive blotches round my eyebrows that doesn't go down for 3 or 4 days

I think you can forgive older ladies - bad eyesight, wobbly hand, but these are unforgiveable

I too have no clue why people shave off their eyebrows and draw them on, it's just weird.
Mine are naturally dark in colour but kinda sparse so i do have to fill in the gaps a little but don't draw in a whole new shape!

Drawn on eye brows look silly and I don't know anyone who does this. I get mine threaded, it's dirt cheap and quick and easy. I hate the over thin ones without the arches, those look silly and rather clownish in appearance. I prefer the more natural shape with an arch, how eyebrows are meant to be. Not too thick or too thin. I can understand people having really trimmed ones but it's not my cup of tea.

My housemate wanted to undergo electrolysis to remove all her eyebrow hair and then have permanent eyebrows tattoed in place. I wasted 40 minutes of my life talking her out of it.

Eyebrows
Hello I had my eyebrows tattooed, but they look really good (so everyone tells me) they are not dark, and they are nothing like a body tattoo. Its all to do with who you go to.
Its not just older people who pluck all their hairs out, I know girls of 19 who over pluck, for some it never grows back. Threading was no good for me, I did not have enough hair, I did not want the skinny Essex brows that people have. Jel |

Fashion and what is GOOD RIGHT NOW.... this apply's to eyebrows.
In the 70's the fashion was pencil thin eyebrows - my skinning blister and her friends plucked and shaved eyebrows then used a pencil to draw super thin brows in. I'm more than 10 years younger(than my sister) and Brooke Sheilds eyebrows were "the look" back in the [my]day. I'm now too old to comment but I do think a natural line or look with eyebrows work best with any woman of any age.. Need to get my brows done as I can't see now to "tweeze" |

Personally I have mine waxed and dyed and have never used an eyeborw pencil in my life, but a couple of my friends actually don't really have eye borws. They haven't plucked them into extinction, they just didn't have much in the first place and what was there was very fair, so they think they have to pencil them in otherwise they don't have a brow.

I tidy and fill in the gaps with pencil and powder.
I like the gothic look of shaving them off and painting/pencilling them back on but they are going for that look. Even if that was my 'style' I be waaaay too scared to shave off mine...unless they grew back thicker, now if that was guaranteed I'd happily spend a week or two in hiding ![]() Whatever floats your boat I guess, I can't say I look closely enough at peoples eyebrows to notice. |

More mature ladies tend to draw in their eyebrows not because they have shaved them or over plucked them but because they fall out over time as hair does.

I agree that it looks totally ridiculous!
It's one thing to use something to define your eyebrows slightly, which helps frame the face and looks good, but to pencil them in from nothing is just atrocious. *shudders* |
