Pictured below are MAC’s automatic eyebrow pencils in Lingering and Spiked respectively. Seeing as how they’re $15 a pop – $30 on just my brows every few months was annoying, costly, and well, I felt stupid for doing that since I already have a lengthy and costly makeup habit any way to begin with. For years, I’ve been using a combination of MAC’s Lingering and Spiked eyebrow pencil to get the color I want (since there was no in-between shade. And, if you follow the rule of thumb – shade your brows a shade or two lighter than the hair on your head – technically…there’s not a suitable color for me. I don’t have black hair and I don’t have typical brown hair either. But the problem has always been in the color range. And, thick eyebrows are ‘in’ anyway.įor the longest time, I struggled to fill in my brows with powder because every one was saying that it was the best option for a “natural look.” Sure, this works if you have HAIR and seeing as how powder doesn’t quite adhere to bald skin like I want it to – I’ve resorted to using eyebrow pencils to get the job done. So, to all the youngsters out there who want to grow up so fast – don’t over pluck. Genetically speaking, the hair that grows on my face grows thin on its own however, though this is great in general, it’s not too great for my barely there eyebrows. Because I persistently did this, the eyebrow hair that now grows – grows back sparse and patchy. Shamefully, when I was in my teens, I got tweezer happy and plucked away every single stray hair in the eyebrow region. Our hair, much like eyebrows, has a similar function – and, this is why it is commonly said that front layers “frame” the face – helping the overall appearance of your face to be slimmed (or so they say). There’s nothing that frames the features on our faces. The truth of the matter is, without eyebrows, our faces lack shape and structure. However, without understanding its significance and its function, I think many women neglect the eyebrows – thinking, as long as they pluck – there’s nothing more they need to do. As the title states, eyebrows are important and, as the picture clearly depicts – unless you want to walk around looking like Lord Voldemort, reconsidering the importance of your brows can be helpful.
