Eyebrows, and the Case for Keeping 'Em Full

Now that I'm back in grad school, a few beauty things have dropped on my priority list. While I feel like maybe I should make a little more effort in some places (ahem... like hiding under-eye bags), one lazy girl beauty move is actually really flattering: NOT tweezing my brows!

I'm not saying I've gone all Frida Khalo -- I certainly tweeze the little strays that pop up in between brows -- but I've stopped impulsively going to the threading salon and spending like a zillion dollars shaping my arches to "near perfection." And you know what? I think it makes me look younger. Granted, I am lucky: I like the shape of my arches as they are (threaders yell at me for overplucking, even when I don't touch a tweezer for months at a time). But, whether your have to pluck a little to shape, or can let your brows grow free, I think fuller arches are the way to go these days.

Skinny, over arched eyebrows are so nineties, right?! And they make you look vaguely witchy. Case in point here. I mean, you guys know I'm right.
Over-tweezing now leads to zero brows later. So even if you are young and not worried about looking older, you are screwing yourself later when you are feeling less than youthful and have zero eyebrow hair to work with. Bolder brows frame your face way better. Just saying.

But don't listen to me. Take a cue from the models on the Spring runways at Marc Jacobs, Alexander Wang and Jason Wu.
