I have very thick eyebrows and if I don't wax them I am constantly told(by my mom, sister and best friend) that they need waxed. I hate the comments so I wax them once a month or so.

I think your eyebrows look fine...although my mom, sister and best friend might now agree. :-)

You could get them done by a pro, and request that she cleans them up and enhances the arch without making your brows thin. From there you can maintain you eyebrows yourself. I don't think your eyebrows are really that thick, they are kind of sparse actually. I think slightly thinner eyebrows with a more defined arch would look better on you. They'd lift up your eyes and make your face look brighter. I have truly thick eyebrows that are dark, long and dense. They are like Brooke Shields eyebrows. I actually lighten them a little bit because they can look overpowering if they are too dark. I've tried making them thinner before but it just looked wrong on me. I think the best eyebrow shape/style is one that is closest to your natural eyebrows. Thicker eyebrows are definitely in right now. Even some women who have been plucking/waxing for years are trying to grow back their eyebrows now because they realized that thicker brows are more youthful looking.

Yeah, I know mine aren't dense, and I don't think they're even naturally thicker than normal. I just meant that when I PLUCK them, I keep them thicker (not dense, like I said, just wider) instead of making them thinner.
I think eyebrow plucking is a fearful thing, since it can drastically alter your appearance so much, so if you screw up, you look funny.

Yeah... I do NOT dig the thin thin thin eyebrow look. Makes me think of chicks from the 90's or old, crusty women... ugh!

Just keep them cleaned up and you should be fine!

I still have a little bit of permanent redness in my eye now and I haven't worn the things since like September! It's absolutely ridiculous. Oh how I wish I could ditch my glasses.

I think you should get narrower frames if you can't do contacts (its ok, lots of people can't handle them). You have lost a lot of weight and your face has thinned out beautifully. But now your glasses are too wide for your narrow face (in my opinion)!!! It's a good thing

There's nothing wrong with your eyebrows

Personally, I hate having thicker eyebrows. I always thin mine out. I don't like pencil thin, though. I especially dislike it when people shave their eyebrows off and just put a thin line of liner for a brow.

For several years now I've been going to get my eyebrows threaded about once every two weeks to keep the shape, and plucking in between as needed. I got to a nice salon owned by some Indian ladies, and there is even a sign on the door that says "no men allowed" because while they're working, they aren't completely covered. I love the way they do my eyebrows...they leave them fairly thick but get them so precise that they look fabulous..



I know it's a large picture, and it's pretty old, but that was right after the first time I got my eyebrows threaded. I think they looked wonderful.

Right now, they're a little thinner then I'd like because I moved to a small town for college and don't get them threaded as often since there isn't a place to get them done near school...so i've been plucking and i've taken a bit too much off...

I wish I could go back to those perfectly threaded thicker eyebrows. lol

You have great eyebrows!!! And I agree with jazzang!!!! I love thick eyebrows they sort of make people look exotic IMO!!! I keep them thick and I just pluck when needed!!!
