    This is getting weird now. I’m going to be honest and say that I am a little creeped out aiding and abetting your search.

    I’ll give the example of that Cara Delevingne girl or the singer Dua Lipa and that’ll be that.

    Starting to feel like I did when I accidentally saw one of my uncle’s explorer histories.

    Huh? Whats the matter with you? I asked for an example of what the eyebrows are supposed to look like not what their tits look like. What is so weird about asking what eyebrows look like??? :pac:

    Apologies if I’ve misconstrued things but it just seemed like you were looking for me to supply you with “ammunition”, if you catch my drift.

    I'd say Clara Bow is the last person who shaved off her eyebrows. If you ever actually witness a woman approaching her eyebrows with a razor (and I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess you haven't) stage an intervention.

    Many of us overplucked for years. I have literally never, ever met anyone who shaved.

    Could you post a pic or link of what they're supposed to look like? Id love to know what they're aiming for.

    I got my eyebrows trimmed last time I had a haircut... Knew nothing about it in advance mind, the comb just suddenly appeared there and bzzzzt


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,059 ✭✭✭Tuco88


    Well all I can say is, thats one impressive moustache her forehead has. And from a bloke with a ginger beard, I am a little intimidated.

    A little more on the edge she'll have a Captain Hook thing going on.. Awesome...

    Mine are tattooed on. Very subtly, I hope.

    Touch of the auld trichotillomania, tis an affliction.

    This is an observation, not a complaint: I've noticed women styling themselves more and more. I don't just mean for social occasions but generally. Hair, eyebrows, teeth, I don't know what else. I've also noticed in my local county town the number of womens beauty salons their are now and all of them busy and open up to 8 or 9pm, even on weekdays. One across the road from another like pubs. Also some kind of skin clinic has opened recently, very swanky it is too, looks out of place in a rural town with it's futurist decor. They offer things like 'micro abrasions' whatever that is. I think that's what a colleague told me she was having 'done' there.

    That's all fine but I just would have though that with all this feminism that it would have gone the opposite way. I though it was all mens fault that women felt the need to look their best at all times and now that women are on a more equal footing they would have ditched the slap.

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

    I think this answers it.
    Youre missing the point about makeup, we dont wear it to impress men, mens opinions dont come into it at all, we wear makeup because we like makeup, its a fun hobby that brings us joy.

    A lot of women actually enjoy make-up and skincare. I really don't get why that concept seems to be beyond comprehension

    Yeah, but do they have to look like they're in the circus?

    Is that from EmmetSpiceland's uncle's search history?

    Youre missing the point about makeup, we dont wear it to impress men, mens opinions dont come into it at all, we wear makeup because we like makeup, its a fun hobby that brings us joy.
    I just bought another nude mac lipstick online this week, its a very similar shade to 3 other lipsticks I own in different brands, it also cost me 20 euro - Do you think I spent 20 euro on a mac lipstick when I could have bought one the same shade in pennies for less than fiver to impress men?? - I dont think so and youre delusional if you think your opinion is the driving force behind my makeup purchases.

    Men will set for hours watching other men kick a ball around a field, they will spend hours playing video games and theyre not judged for it yet a feminine hobby is considered a waste of time, vain and for the benefit of men.
    If you all disappeared tomorrow I would still wear makeup as im sure most women would.

    The reason you like make up, that its a fun hobby, and brings you joy, is that it does satisfy a desire to be attractive to men. Its a step removed from the conscious thinking to spend that 20e on the lipstick, but ultimately, it is the reason it fulfils your desire and satisfies you.

    I quite agree that is we all disappeared tomorrow, you would still wear make up - you (all women) would still be the same people with the same innate drive.

    Its the same reason that department stores generally have about a 3:1 floor space ratio in womens:mens clothing - women have a stronger instinct to distinguish themselves visually. Sure, they feel good about it and can call it a hobby. But the reason it makes them feel good is its feeding of the satisfaction to be attractive.

    I don't wear make up at all. Guess I'm missing some bit of primitive instinct. FFS

    As woman who wears make up I am completely baffled by obsession wirh eyebrows. Mine are exactly the same as they were 20 years ago and frankly I have very little desire to do something with them. There is only so much time I would spend on make up. I also despise the whole Kardashian look. All it does is create the impression you are dimwtted enough to follow them.

    I love doing my eyebrows, I've very dark hair but due to my very pale complexion my eyebrows are very fair and without filling them in they are pretty much non existent so I spend 5 mins a day just filling in a nice arch. I feel it gives definition to my face, a lot of the time it's the only makeup I wear. unless it's an emergency I won't leave the house without my eyebrows done (and even in an emergency I can imagine I'd at least think about it) I'm giving very serious thought to the aul microblading (which is essentially a form of tattooing)

    A thicker brow is in fashion now, similarly to how in the 90's / 00's we ladies plucked the bejasus out of them, it's just fashion.

    I love the more natural bushy looking brow that's currently in, think emilia clarke, cara delavigne, rita ora, lily collins, natalie portman etc.

    However there are typically some teenagers who have taken the trend too far and rather than sport a fuller, bushier brow they are instead practicing some type of calligraphy with a magic marker that is fooling nobody and looks completely ridiculous. I get great craic out of looking at them though, especially if they've matched them with some dark lipliner :pac:

    You monster. Couldn't you just have spared us this image? Now you'll get at least 2 or 3 more posts quoting this one.
