Let’s reminisce and walk through the brow trends before I reveal how to create the perfect eyebrows. Let me take you to the eighties where there was Madonna and Brooke Shields and Jennifer Connelly with their bushy eyebrows. Well, back then, thick and bushy was in. Infact, closer home in India, many people considered a unibrow, thick untamed bushy brows to be a sign of good luck.
When we got into the 90s, eyebrows started getting thinner and thinner while arches started getting higher and higher. Arches started off with a round circular arch and moved to more angular defined ones by the late 90s. Eyebrows were still thin that decade but the inner corners started getting reasonable leaving the rest finely tapering towards the end. All the trendy women of that time started believing that women in the 80s and before that probably never groomed their eyebrows ever and it wasn’t part of anyone’s beauty regime until the 90s… not realizing that it was just a trend of the 90s. Eyebrow grooming has been existent since the dawn of time or the discovery of scissors and blades. It’s not a new department. But yeah, in the 90s, it seemed like a novelty. It was all about overdoing the eyebrow and it just kept getting worse and worse. But everybody loved it. It was the ‘in’ thing….muted brows that were almost disappearing and balding. Take a look at Cameron Diaz, Pamela Anderson, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Claudia Schiffer, Angelina Jolie and all the female actors in the most popular sitcom of the 90s – Friends.
While all this first stayed up until mid 2000 when we suddenly got bored of non-existent noodle brows and moved on to really thick unkempt scruffy ones like Cara Delevingne, Lily Collins, Sarah Hyland, Chloe Grace Moretz and Mila Kunis.
And then again we fell to an all-time low of ‘the Instagram brow’ with a lot of youtubers and Instagram influencers putting up beauty and makeup tutorials that undoubtedly look gorgeous on screen and in photos, but in person they look like two caterpillars latched on to your forehead. For some strange reason, this trend refuses to go away and people actually like it….just like we loved rice vermicelli/fine noodle brows in the 90s.
You see, trends come and go. They’ll probably last a decade or so. But if you keep on over trimming or even subjecting those brows to all kinds of weird trends, your eyebrows will follow the growth pattern you steer it in or even… God forbid, cease growth in that particular area and then you will be restricted in the kind of brow shape or trend you will be able to follow. So, it’s a good idea to just stick with your natural brows and probably just get rid of some stray hair, tame them a bit but following a trend… you might probably regret it ten years later. That’s as long as a trend may last. And they just go in circles, keep coming and they keep going and they keep repeating themselves. There is only so much you can do with eyebrows …or any other body part, for that matter. Fashion and trends keep repeating themselves; it’s better to look your best version of beautiful than to follow a trend and stress above and beyond with threading and tweezing and waxing and painting and tattooing and microblading and all kinds of things which you might just regret later.
I say this from experience. I have lived through the 90s and followed the 90s trend too. In the beginning, I started out with no forehead and only an eyebrow …like that entire portion up top was an eyebrow; there was no forehead…think neanderthal or homo sapien. I didn’t have a forehead; I just had a single eyebrow up there.😉 I would tweeze my own brows and was pretty good at it. I maintained a thick and curvy inner corner and a really thin tapered end with a really high angular arch. After all that tweezing and tweezing and tweezing, today I finally have a forehead and two distinct eyebrows. I still have some of them but I couldn’t follow the bushy trend that was in a few years ago so today I don’t try to maintain a trendy eyebrow look. I just follow the natural frame by getting rid of some of the stray ends. I intentionally leave the scruffy jagged edges. They don’t bother me anymore. Sometimes, friends point it out but I just smile or laugh. I’m happy with my brows – unkempt and all. I’m done following brow trends. Phew, such a relief!
You know many women worry about eyebrow symmetry. One could be higher; one could be lower. One could be thinner; one could be thicker. They’re not identical twins. It’s okay if they are not in perfect symmetry …mine aren’t and it doesn’t bother me. You don’t have to go overboard to try and match them completely. Just learn to accept. I know it can be difficult in this cruel world. But, you’ll thank yourself for it someday.

Hehe.. How Are You Reading my Mind this way Ruelha.. As You know
my Stepmother Passed Away as You Liked Your Way through my
Comment on Ava’s Site.. small World it is on WordPress so many
Kind Indian Women as i often Laud Like You too my FRiEnD
So This Memory Brings Me Back to 1981 at Christmas
Vacation going back to College to Pursue 3 degrees
at My Stepmother’s Home in Bed At Night after
Watching ‘Endless Love’ With Brooke Shields
Thinking About How Cruel Life Will
Be as it was if every Detail
of the Movie matched
the Endless Love
of my First
Love Half Cuban
And American indeed
With Thick Eye Brows Sonia
Was Her Name as she was my
First ‘Real’ Girlfriend at age 18
And while that Only Lasted
until i was 19 about 10
Months i Found
Myself in the
Bedroom
of my Stepmother’s
Home after Watching the
Movie on Cable TV Past the
Age of 19 to 21 Finding Myself
Again beyond Tears truly with a Broken
Heart Again When one’s Heart feels like
it is catching Fire in Powerful Spasms of Pain
that are real and truly as Science Shows now
Really Dangerous And Potentially Life Threatening
too.. True.. Typically as Emotions Are the Glue of Memory
The Best Students in School Although they may Seem Introverted
From the Outside in have Powerful Emotions inside that Overwhelm
Them Beyond Their Ability to Regulate them with Sensory Integration
accompanying them Out of Whack like When A Heart is on Fire Of It
Eating Itself in Pain.. the real kicker of the Movie was when the Young
Man was so Heart Broken He ended up in a ‘Mental Crisis Place’ as i surely
Did too in the Fall; Yes, September of 1981.. 39 Years ago.. my Stepmother
by then had Long Left my Father and while my Father’s Side kind of disowned
me when i fell down then.. Her Home became my destination of Christmas Vacation
then.. College Can Be Hard.. especially if You are poor working 3 Part-time Jobs
to Get through eating Peanut Butter Sandwiches every single day to get through…
makes me wonder why i even did it.. but it was what you are ‘supposed to do’ so i did
it no matter what came next.. Smiles.. it’s True i would not want to go back to age 21
for i felt beyond Numbers Older than i do now.. as i’ve conquered the Demons that
used to Live within me to escape the Hands of Time Now that really are deadlines of Stress…
When you’ve Been
rejected most of
Your Life when
Young for
being
Odd
Not like
the other
Kids around You..
A First Love Surely Feels
Like Paradise on Earth and
something you never ever want to let
go of holding it close as Endless Love then…
10 Years after She Left me in ’79 in ’89 i saw my
Wife Now on Gym Stairs going to Work-out then
She Was 18 and i was 28 then soon to be 29 and
She Soon to be 19.. then too.. She Looked So Much
Like that First Love only more Beautiful Perfect in every way to me..
A Dream that Eventually came true again.. and it’s true She looks the
Same way now as she did when i met her then.. somehow some way
After moving through Hell Again from ages 47 to 53 as i’ve already told
you that story too.. Happily Ever After did come as Fairy Tales are somehow as
Real
As
Hell too..
Never fear the
Closed Door for the
Next one may indeed be the one
to Heaven that never ends now…
i Believe in Magic.. i’ve seen too much to deny it…
Endless Love Does come Eternally Now to Feel without Fear
Yes.. Deeper than Romance too.. Deep as Ocean with no Bottom or Top..:)
Oh yeah, And About the Movie, Brooke Shield’s Family Home Burned Down
At The End of the Movie as Did Not Only one of my First Love’s Homes but
the one her Family Moved to after the First one Burned down there were
too many Coincidences in the Movie as all i could do is ask myself why
did i have
to see
this again…
Smiles there is
Some Pain that will
Always Remind You that
You are Just a Vulnerable
Human Again.. i was surprised
to Watch The Video Above and
Feel a Tinge of that Heart Pain again
as Brooke Shield’s Facial Expressions
of that Innocent Pure Love took me back
to what really Never happens again in Life
Your Love the First day You go to Heaven..
You Know those Days You Say i Love You Babe
No I Love you Babe more as another Story i told too..
i call my Wife Sugar.. you never Use that first Pet Love Name again..
you
just
can’t….
of course
i mean ‘You’ as me..:)
To Master our Emotions
in Life is always really A Biggest Challenge
For it is the Difference of Breathing Ease or
Pains of the Heart that won’t Quit.. Hope
You Don’t Mind me Dropping off my Personal Therapy..
i was really close to my Stepmother coming to terms now of how close…:)

Endless love…..I don’t think i watched that one….is it good?
Wow Sonia is a very popular Indian name too. One of my cousins is named Sonia.
Emotions are the glue of memory…..very profound line Fred. I dont think I’ll forget this line. Very true….I agree…its difficult to truly sense what the person even next to you is going through… it’s so difficult at times. Regulating emotions is such an art …an art that only a handful have mastered.
Wow 3 part time jobs seem like a lot to handle for a college kid, Fred. Seems like it was an extremely tough ride, Fred. I think I know someone who will be able to relate to your 10year old love story completely…the closed door….hmm….that’s a tough one Fred….wow….her house burned down!!!!!!uh oh…too much coincidence there….yes some names/emotions and things cannot be shared…ever…🤩🎀….
Thanks for sharing your story Fred
…made me smile🤗🧸
Hugs….take care and have a wonderful sunday

Worst of all
i could Feel
No Love From

Oh yeah the Old Man in the Photo was my
Grandmother’s Best Friend that We Called
Uncle His Death was the First Human Death i witnessed as a Child…
The Dog in the photo’s Name is Charlie my only Dog with a little Tear in
my Eye.. Dogs Should Always Have Friends With my Mother at Work and
and Us at School Charlie Found his Way out of the Fence And Followed my
Smell where i walked to The School Grounds of A Bus stop at the Elementary School
Where i took the Bus to go to Middle School.. i was very Androgynous Looking in Middle
School Before i hit the Growth Spurt of Puberty Reaching almost 6 Feet Tall in
8th Grade that Day in the Bus a Girl Named Vickie was making Fun of me for
Having Eyelashes and Pretty Eyes like a Girl with the Other Kids as the
Worst thing you can do as
A Boy Where i Live then
is anything a Girl
might do as
You Are told
Boys are not even
allowed to Smile to Show
Emotions and Crying is totally
off Limits lest Big Daddy Gives you a Whippin’
Anyway.. i just wanted to Get Home to my Dog Charlie
as he never minded how different i was he always loved
me unconditionally like the Rest of Nature the only place i Found Loving God
other than my Sister and Mother.. so looking out the Window of the Bus Charlie
Had Been Hit by a Car or Bus Dead on the Side of the Road as Horrible as that
Memory was where i could Never come to have another Pet as Dog but many
Cats after that.. i do believe more than anything Man’s best Friend Dog losing
That Part of God
is the Love
That Brought God Back to me as Memory then…
It Really Helped to See me with him so awkward
in those High Water Pants Back in 1972 in 7th Grade…
So Yeah it’s no Surprise to me God spelled Backwards is Dog
Evil Spelled in Reverse is Live and Devil Spelled in Reverse is Lived…
And Even
