Recently I found my old photo album and looking through it made me wonder many things about the art of eyebrow making. I viewed the picture taken for my university yearbook in which I was dressed in a hat and a gown.
What horrified me was the excessive amount of bright blue eye shadow I had put on my eyes but even more than that, my eyebrows. They were black as coal thinly stenciled on. Today it is hard to believe how I roamed around like that in public exhibiting such confidence. Although my past eyebrow experience turned out to be quite mortifying, I noticed I was not alone in the excruciating obsession of eyebrow liners.
Obsession with eyebrows comes to me culturally. Walking down the streets I see so many women each with a different shape to their eyebrows, some arched, plucked, waxed, tweezed or shaved artificially. But as it turned out, year-old me was just a decade early for the bushy brow trend that bloggers and beauty gurus now obsesses over, not to mention the slew of products that exist to emulate the look I had spent most of my adolescent years trying to get rid of.
Apparently, the hair I had been working around the clock to wax, shave, and thread away was actually one of the most important features on my face—and not just superficially. A study at the University of Lethbridge in Canada asked people to identify 25 photos of celebrities without eyes and then without eyebrows; participants were able to identify 56 percent of them without eyes but only 46 percent of celebrities sans brows, proving that eyebrows are actually incredibly critical to human face recognition.
But brows are emotional, too: You can tell the story of your life just by looking at the transformation your brows have gone through across the years. Women from all over the world have naturally thick eyebrows that they have been grooming for centuries through different methods of choice.
I have Middle Eastern friends who swear by threading because it works better for fine hairs, whereas those who need to get their brows done more frequently go for wax.
Now influencers like Leandra Medine and actresses like Lily Collins are featured by brands and publications for their envy-inducing eyebrows. It could be because soft, thicker brows can make you look more innocent and youthful, or it could just be that one beautiful It-girl rocked them and rocked them well, and that opened the floodgates.
In some ways, I almost feel like I conned the system. And the bigger question: If the style pendulum really swings that easily, what kinds of features are we working to eradicate from our faces and bodies now that will become socially acceptable later on? But the other possibility is that the beauty and fashion industries will continue to hold those reigns, just as they always have. The Role of Eyebrows in Face Recognition.
Eyebrow Kit : This kit comes with an eyebrow powder, an eyebrow brush, eyebrow stencils and eyebrow gel to seal the eyebrows after applying. This complete kit will allow you to draw your eyebrows like a pro. Temporary Eyebrow Tattoos. If you don't want to draw your eyebrows, our temporary eyebrow tattoos might be ideal for you. Our semi-permanent tattoos are transferred from the printed paper onto your skin in 60 seconds using only a wet cloth. Once applied, they are waterproof and can last up to days.
They can be easily removed with makeup pads or baby oil. Our eyebrow tattoos come on sheets with several pair per sheet. Pros: Economical, easy to apply, available in several shapes and colors. Nontoxic and made from pure vegetable dyes. Cons: The length of wear may also vary from person to person.
This is due to fluctuations in body temperature, hormone levels, and oil secretions from the facial skin. Since menopause alters hormone levels, women going through menopause may find that the eyebrow tattoos do not adhere as well as they once did. Usually, the issue subsides over time. If the problem persists, our Human Hair Eyebrows may be a better option for you.
Another alternative to drawing your eyebrows is our Stick On Eyebrows. These brows are incredibly convincing! Real human hair is hand placed into a clear gel backing. The eyebrows are applied by administering adhesive to the clear backing, aligning them on the face and pressing firmly until secure. Many of our customers are able to wear the eyebrows for at least two consecutive days without them having to be reapplied.
Our customers report an average of months of wear from one pair of eyebrows, with proper care. Pros: The most natural look possible. The only option that allows for a 3-D effect, giving the real texture of human hair eyebrows.
Cons: More expensive than other options. Therefore, slight variations do occur. These variations allow for a more realistic look, as natural eyebrows are not identical. Eyebrow makeup is an invaluable tool because it allows you to alter your brows to perfectly flatter and fit your face.
It can also make false eyebrows look more realistic. Here are some ways you can use makeup to make your eyebrows impeccable. The eyebrow tattoos can sometimes give off a shiny effect; you can rectify this side effect in a snap with eyebrow powder. Simply brush eyebrow powder in short ticks on top of the tattoo with a brow brush. You can also use a spoolie brush to soften the look of the powder.
Adding powder will also give the brows depth and create a more realistic look. Swipe a small amount of translucent setting powder over the brow to ensure the makeup lasts all day and remove any remaining shininess. If you don't want to go through the process of applying eyebrow powder, a bit of translucent powder on top of the brow area will also eliminate shininess. You may find that the shape or volume of your eyebrows is not quite what you wanted.
Fortunately, you can use eyebrow powder and brow pencils to give the eyebrows a different look.
