In my teens I had Twiggy eyelashes, painted on under the eyes, and had a black line in the eye socket and white lipstick so I am in no position to laugh at anything anybody chooses to apply to their own face.

However, I do have a big problem with the current trend for eyebrows like George Robey. I can't take my eyes off them.

There was a very learned woman on You Tube and she was giving a very interesting talk about something I wanted to know more about but I needed to watch it at least twice because I was so engrossed by those magnificent arches that looked to me like they were not quite in the right place.

I wonder what people with tattoos, stretched ear lobes and other such things will look like when they are older. Will they have to have surgery to get rid of them / corrected?

ZZzzz I do agree with you, especially with the awful earlobe stretchers.

I also hate those dreadful dark thick eyebrows that are painted on, especially when the girls have blonde hair!

Regrettably I plucked my eyebrows so much when young that I have virtually none left now, but darn me, there is always a long wonky white one sticking out, that has to go, lol

Those eye brows that meet in the middle always look odd ?

Liz, I’ve only ever plucked the straggly ones and yes there is always one or two wonky ones and so thick I wonder they don’t push my glasses off lol.

I'ver never plucked my eyebrows into oblivion, but, along with my hair, they've turned silver.
Grand daughter (17) suggested a brown ' transformation'. I bought a grey khol pencil, and when I can be bothered, I darken the silver
hairs a little!

I just wish my eyebrows would grow more evenly, they are sparse, as are my eyelashes, and the hair on my head is very thin, a maternal family trait I think. If I could redirect the hair on my chin, things might look better lol

The chin hairs! :-D.
Go for an interview, and find one has grown half an inch!

I had the Twiggy lashes, along with two pairs of false on the top, one pair on the bottom. Had to get up an hour early to do my eyes. :-D

And yes I plucked my brows into Harlow bows. They too are silver and occasionally I use a blonde pencil but very lightly.


I haven't got enough to have threaded!
:-D :-D
