eyebrows

If the eyes are the windows to the soul, they should be properly framed. Eyebrow styles have had some variations over the years, but they keep returning to a more natural look. Trendy eyebrow styles come and go, then look dated, but a natural-looking brow with medium thickness and medium arch will always look pleasing. Keeping the eyebrow up in correct position with a slight playful arch maintains a youthful appearance. Small modifications should be made to balance facial features and shape of face.  Did you know that so much could be said about eyebrows?

I've had eyebrows on my mind a lot lately - I don't know why, but it's lead me to put together a post about them.  Found this funny article about makeup and the face - thought I'd share some of the highlights with you.  A person's face, their facial expressions, their grooming habits, the attention to detail and care a person puts into their face can tell you a lot about that person.  Let's dissect something as simple as the eyebrows.  Most women (and plenty) of men spent a bunch of time sculpting the eyebrow getting it tweezed, waxed, threaded - filling it with brushes to make them look fuller, shaping them.  Why? 

Look at all the messages that eyebrows can convey:

• When one eyebrow is lower than the other, it is an indication of astuteness
• Slightly rounded eyebrows give an expression of sweetness and tenderness to the face
• Very high and round eyebrows give an expression of stupidity to the face and should only be used in comical situations
• Eyebrows unnaturally raised at the outer ends are characteristic of suspicious, and sometimes, clever people
• A face without eyebrows (or barely visible) gives an expression of greatest stupidity and idiocy
• Clowns shave their eyebrows, then apply a perpendicular line between the yes
• Old age is characterized by drooping eye-brows
• Eyebrows that are raised at the staring point (the nose) and then droop at the end denote a sense of beauty and an artistic temperament
• Eyebrows that are strongly marked at the beginning and that end abruptly indicate an impatient nature
• Strong angular eyebrows, close to the eyes, indicate productiveness and activity
• Eyebrows that are lighter than the hair indicate weakness and indecision
• Eyebrows that are darker than the hair indicate a passionate character
• Eyebrows of the same color as the hair indicate firmness and resolution

Interesting, huh?  Random, I know.  Thought I'd share.
