EYEBROWS! Or lack thereof...

I personally do not sport eyebrows.

Do you?
Why or why not?

What kind of eyeliner/make up do you use to pencil them on (if at all)?

I keep Vampira-esque eyebrows at the moment, but I've tried the "Alien eyebrow" itty-bitty pencil-thin rounded arch-less brows. They were great and all, but they were too much maintenance and didn't support my face shape at all.
For my brows now I pencil them in with black drugstore eyeliner for height and definition, then I take an angled brush and fill them in with kohl eyeshadow. I keep them this way because there isn't a TON of plucking involved and because I like how exaggerated they look.

I eyeliner mine in. Sometimes AmandaPalmeresqe style, sometimes just an arch, sometimes something different.

I think having NO eyebrows looks like crap.

I get mine waxed. It hurts less than plucking (I think anyway).

I shaved off my eyebrows once when I was 12.

I used to shave mine off.
It was barely noticeable.
I now have them plucked.

once I leave school my hawk/dangley bits are gonna be dyed black with my buzzed sides blonde.
So I'll probably shave them off again.
And pencil them in.

Mine are pretty natural as well. I cannot be arsed to have to draw them on every morning to look human, so I just pluck them and extend them with a kohl pencil. They´re sort of like the ones sported by Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge, only dark.

I've noticed that my eyebrows keep getting increasingly more thin as the weeks go on. Somehow I'll pluck them and then not be satisfied, so I'm pretty sure the "alien eyebrow" thing someone mentioned earlier is in my near future, which is a bad thing for me considering they're already pretty blonde as it is.

Last time I put on some eyeliner and look in the mirror I was like

In the middle of my math class, last class before I went to the anime party.

The teacher turned around and.. giggled at me.

I looked down again and.... GAWD!! $haDe ! That is SO gay !!

To dredge this subject up again, I've heard somebody mention that the thinner your eyebrows, the bigger it makes your face look. True or false?

Not necessarily true but they sure can make your face look out of proportion

Eyebrows are nice.
I don't mind when people wax them completely off and draw on their own. But some people do it wrong and it makes them look angry or like like insects.

^ agree, nothing looks worse than shaved eyebrows done wrong. The worst is the over-tanned fake blonds who just shave them, and don't do them with eyeliner. They look like aliens.

I don't like when people shave them off then replace them using all the things they learned in Calligraphy 101. It looks absurd.

I think the only person that looks decent without eyebrows and none drawn on is Whoopi Goldberg.

Mine are natural looking, but neatly plucked and trimmed. And I 'fill' them with a dark blonde pencil, because my hair is naturally light blonde, dyed black.. it looks kind of awkward if I don't.

I'm getting bored of plucking mine regularly.
Should really get round to shaving them off.

I enjoy well-shaped eyebrows, but I'm not a real big fan of the drawn-on look unless the person is a -very- good make-up artist.

I think that the main girl in the Dresden Dolls has some cool 'brows, but I don't think I could copy them. XD

I don't do anything with my eyebrows. They're just eyebrows, fuck 'em.

Amanda Palmer does have nice eyebrows. But only a select few look good with them.

i love it when people have no eyebrows. that unearthly weird prettiness is awesome. plus then you can draw on the spock/vampira/gothy eyebrows, and i love that. i personally have regular ones, cause they are a naturally nice shape, and im scared if i get rid of them they wont come back right. plus, i have too many things i shave already.

Oh I forgot...
Check out my MYSPACE and try and see which pictures I have no eyebrows in?
It's kinda hard to tell.

I shaved off my eyebrows once and hated it. some peopel can pull off the crazy drawn on eyebrows but it's not me. At this moment, they are still growing back so I have to fill them in with a eyebrow pencil.
