    I'm all for women empowerment etc.

    But could someone explain what women are doing with their eyebrows.

    Bizarre.

    How did you conflate women's right issues with their eyebrows?

    I don't mind the eyebrows but what's the story with the huge puffy lips? It looks dreadful.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,195 ✭✭✭✭jimgoose


    I know, it's hideous. The fiends are probably going to deploy the likes of this mesmerizing creature to distract us while the rest of them steal our beer. Or something.

    Those look perfectly fine but the big huge painted on things are vile, as are the swollen lips.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 7,240 Mod ✭✭✭✭Hannibal_Smith


    Remember years ago all the older ladies would draw eyebrows on their foreheads with blue pencil to match their blue rinses? I thought they looked odd...until now. Do they draw them on with black permanent marker? I dont get what they're supposed to look like?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,185 ✭✭✭✭FixdePitchmark


    Yes , need women talking on the unhealthy image being portrayed


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 473 ✭✭Pissartist


    Here here, and fake tan. WTF are you trying to look unattractive?
    but I must also point out, many males of the millennial vintage now do the same.
    I guess I'm just the old person I used to give out about.
    Also, never trust a monobrow


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,731 ✭✭✭jam_mac_jam


    Jesus I spend a lot of time making sure my eyebrows don't look like that... as naturally having a stupid amount, that's awful. Maybe I am just old...

    My 15 year old was looking back on photos of her 12 year old self. She told me they were absolutely hideous because she had no eyebrows.

    I would say the whole make up thing, and not just that fake tan. Although it is particularly hideous.
    Really, is there a single man in history, that has ever thought, even once, that a women looked better with make up than without it ?
    I've checked. There isnt. Not even one single case.
    The cosmetics industry is built on delusion and desperation. And, worse, women look worse with it, not better.

    It's true. My own Toaster is incorrigibly convinced she looks like a traffic accident first thing in the morning, with Bed Hair and no make-up, but I think she's absolutely beautiful. :cool::D:D

    This is what I'd be concerned about.

    There was the me too movement.

    There should also be a movement attacking the sort of Kardashian ****.

    What age is your daughter and why are you getting her lip injections?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 427 ✭✭izzyflusky


    I'm actually partial to the new lip trend. I have always been self conscious about mine being too big but now I nearly blend in XD

    Some take the brows to the extreme but I also look at my pictures from a few years ago and cringe at the thin lines I had back then.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,411 ✭✭✭✭the beer revolu


    My observations are that the ridiculous eyebrows aren't nearly as commonplace on young women and girls as they are here.
    No idea why.

    All types of fashion becomes cringey at some point.
    I'm sure most men and women see what they looked like/wore years ago and think 'What was I doing?'

    It's just the next gens turn now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,461 ✭✭✭Bob Harris


    Will people please stop quoting the pic of the unibrow model ffs!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,194 ✭✭✭Zorya


    It's aesthetics and artistic ability, maybe? Not everyone has artistic ability. We don't let random people with no artistic competence decorate our houses or design clothes etc and yet young ones have access to big black markers to scribble on their foreheads with no certification of aesthetic appreciation....et voila, lassies going round looking like they are cartoons. :D

    I'm of the generation where us girls plucked away our eyebrows to nothing. I've spent years trying to grow them back to normal. The sad thing is that naturally I wouldn't be far off yer wan with the unibrow and I was bullied unmercifully for it until I got my hands on a tweezers. Seems my old unibrow would be all the rage now.

    I will allow for a SMALL and judicious amount of plucking...but I cannot offer any leeway at all on the colouring in! :mad: That's when ladies lose the run of themselves. I hope this trend will not spread to men, for if it does civilisation will fall.

    Someone may quote that again. Along with the original picture. Just in case more people want to have nightmares about being strangled by a woman's eyebrows.

    Mine are like frida Kahlo when I don't get them threaded. I wouldn't mind but I am quite fair and barely have any hair anywhere else. Just on my face. sigh.

    In the event they hadn't grown back fully get a can of Rogaine foam or the liquid some men use to regrow hair

    I've seen a couple women using the men's version and it brought back the eyebrow hair they had plucked away to nothing

    I looked like Eugene Levy until I was about 13. Then I discovered tweezers and, unfortunately, didn't put them down til I was about 21, by which time the (permanent) damage was done. So I fill them in and make no apologies for it. I don't personally get the Teen Wolf/Nosferatu look plenty of women seem to favour, but hey, *Unicode shrugging emoji* that's their call.

    Still scratching my noodle as to how questionable eyebrows are a women's rights issue, though :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,123 ✭✭✭Trigger Happy


    I don’t like the extremes, too much or too little, or the painted on yokes. But a properly professionally maintained set of brows can look amazing on women imo.
    Even Liam Gallagher can’t get away with the male uni brow look.

    I think this is the issue, when those bolder brows are done badly it doesn’t look good but when done right they can add to attractiveness.

    I personally like the thicker eyebrow over the thin type.

    And let’s face it, there’s not a man here who wouldn’t go off with that massive browed model if she showed an interest.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,256 ✭✭✭metaoblivia


    I have a theory that crazy eyebrows reflect a crazy soul. And I don't mean ungroomed - that model everyone keeps posting is fine. Her eyebrows would be amazing with just a little grooming, but letting them go natural is fine. I'm talking about people who do groom their brows, but in a crazy way, like this lady: https://www.indy100.com/article/donald-trump-us-president-womans-eyebrows-healthcare-speech-upstaged-white-house-7862686

    Just one look at those eyebrows and you know she doesn't make reasonable decisions.
