It is all about eyebrows now – or so I am told. It is just about 35 years too late for me.
As a teenager I had lovely soft blond hair and nice strong brows. I cried the first time my friend tried to pluck them. The fashion was for these beautiful thin plucked brows. I found it so painful that I really just hid them under my fringe for the most part. In my twenties I discovered waxing. No less painful, but far less drawn out. One or two swipes and beautiful brows are revealed.
Ironically now, I could really do with those brows of my youth. With the passing of the years, my eybrows have thinned out a little, but of course the straggly ones that were there at 15 are still there now.
I decided to try threading. Seemed so simple from the Youtube video. No hot wax, no nasty tweezers. How much can a length of cotton hurt? Quite a bit – but the result was well worth it. Thanks to Lyndsay at the Hair & Beauty Rooms in Westport. A beautiful job, despite the pain (which thankfully fades fast). Might even thing of brushing the eternal fringe to the side!
Thanks for visiting and feel free to share your beauty pain story.
Eyebrows are such a massive part of makeup now!! Love this post xx
I love strong eyebrows, and your groomed ones look nice.
