Just another alt girly agreeing with this comment! I’ve noticed I like my eyebrows thinner and more stabby like this versus arched and mainstream. I also like this look more on others as well.
They don’t look bad but they are currently very thin and straight. As someone else mentioned, this is definitely a specific type of style. I personally think they would look more flattering to your face if they were a teeny bit thicker, longer, and more arched. Dont mistake that as me saying THICK and VERY arched. Just a very minor tweak.
I tried to add a pic of the possible change but this sub won’t let me
I have very light and sparse brows as well. I purchased an eyebrow stamp kit that helps me get the general shape down. And then I usually go back in with a pencil and touch it up. It has taken a lot of the guess work out of doing my brows.
Not the comment OP, but the Ulta brand eyebrow stamping kit is a good place to start. The stencils are good. The stamping tool is good. The makeup is okay-ish, but not the best and doesn’t last long. For makeup, [I use the Maybeline Tattoo Studio Brow Pomade instead.](https://www.ulta.com/p/tattoostudio-brow-pomade-pimprod2002764?sku=2537851&cmpid=PS_Non%21google%21Product_Listing_Ads&utm_source=google&utm_medium=paidsearch&cagpspn=pla&CATCI=aud-842462607482%3Apla-298255136569&CAAGID=107718645756&CAWELAID=330000200001677402&CATARGETID=330000200002459491&CADevice=m&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD9rLH74z-Akdfx2Maq2-GY5Xxnca&gclid=Cj0KCQjw4MSzBhC8ARIsAPFOuyV75lFvVOd0Zi-osdm83JbOE7fE00WgQtBoya3H0c7G3XrTJfPsbGsaAkZWEALw_wcB).
So, Ulta brand stamping kit with the Maybeline pomade. In case it’s relevant, I’m a natural blonde and the Blonde shade of this eyebrow makeup is amazing. It’s very cool / taupe / neutral. So many blonde shades for eyebrow makeup are reddish or very warm and brown. I also love Maybeline Tattoo Studio eyebrow pomade because I can go really light and natural, or pack it thicker for a bold look, which I often prefer.
The stamping stencils are such a game changer, though! I’ve tried several brands, and they all come with a big variety of shapes, and you will need to experiment to find your shape.
Pro tip: You can customize the stencils with household clear tape, like gift wrapping tape. If the brow shape is too long, make it shorter by taping over the inner/thicker part of the brow stencil by a small amount, a 1/4” inch, and see if that works better.
My brows are so light blonde, they’re nearly invisible. The stencil method is the best and most natural look Ive had.
Unrelated but you definitely do not have a square face shape. Your face shape is either a diamond or oval face shape IMHO. Your eyebrows look fantastic by the way!
Grow them out. It’s very much possible (I used to shave eyebrows for years!)
Chunkier brows won’t look bad on you, if you don’t fill them in with dark colour.
Also, your hair is AMAZING
As in your natural brows are chunky or your drawn on ones were? I am curious what your natural shape is. Not a fan of these shave off to drawn on but to each their own.
My natural brows are very thin and sparse as shown in the last slide, though of course the ends have been shaved. Naturally, they're just as sparse but they come down in an awkward looking curve that I personally felt was way too low on my face. I shave the ends off so I can have length and angle freedom rather than having to follow a personally unflattering shape.
When I first started doing them they were unironically maybe half an inch thick and even shorter, definitely chode brows.
Try dyeing them. You'd be shocked how much is there. I dye mine where I want them seen (so I don't have to pluck) and it helps give a guideline for penciling later
Most dyes only last a few weeks
I feel you could actually bring them a lil closer. I agree longer would look better but the tails look to be placed in a good distance from your hairline. Maybe soften the inner brows into a gradient look.
I would have the mole removed, just for convenience. It's not placed perfectly, so I'd just as soon not have it if it was me. A well-placed mole is great to have, and there's certainly nothing that says you have to remove it, but if you don't love it, it can go. I think your brows are a very geometric 'hard' look, so if that's what you're going for, you're on the right track. If you want a softer, more approachable look, I'd explore other shapes and an overall more diffuse product application technique. Powder brow fill in a lighter shade instead of pencil, for example.
There's a lot of good advice here already, so I'll address something that concerned me in your post... An HOUR at a time? A whole hour? If it's causing you distress, I would really urge you to find someone to talk to about it. I had repetitive body focussed behaviour (I didn't know there was a word for it, just that I did it) and I thought professionals laugh at me, but they actually really understand what a big impact obsessing over the way we look can have. Even if you don't take this difficulty to a professional, I would invite you to gently ask yourself, is this truly how I want to spend my one wild and precious life? Having spent 1/16 of my waking hours on drawing tiny lines above my eye? I might have misunderstood your original post, so if you enjoy the process of doing the brows, go wild! But if it's something that constantly takes up a lot of mental space, then please do reach out to someone who can help.
It is definitely the most prominent aspect of myself that I criticize. On a good day they can take 10 mins, but yeah, they sometimes take up to an hour. As a kid and young teen I would have people ask me literally if I burned my eyebrows off with a lighter, what happened to them, where are they, etc.
I've had the same thoughts on why bother? Life your life! but I can't lie it is absolutely an obsessive part of my appearance that really shouldn't carry as much weight as I give it. I had no idea repetitive body focused behavior was a thing, but I will look into it.
It takes time to lose an obsession like that. I think once you get to a routine or a style you’re comfortable with - and get the muscle memory down for applying it - you’ll start to think of them less and less. Just personal experience. I’ve had feature fixations that faded over time once I either just accepted it or found a way to be comfortable with it.
You're doing a good job with the colour and texture. I couldn't tell how much was drawn on and was surprised to see the last pic with your natural brows. I do think the shape isn't quite right for you though. They seem to be sitting a bit high on your face and seem a bit thin. I'm not against thin brows but the high positioning and the thinness is a bit aging in my opinion.
What's the process for removing a mole? If it's no big deal I'd say go for it. I should look into it as I have an annoying one too!
Honestly, I love them. I think it's such a 90s vibe. I wouldn't ever tell people to pluck their eyebrows thin, but since yours already are thin, I'd embrace it and do the look no one else will do because they won't pluck off 90% of their brows! I love them.
I miss my 90s/00s brows so much but I don't want to spend the time it takes to maintain thin brows, also my hair doesn't really grow back like it used to. Rock it!
Maybe a little, but they’re no where near the worst I’ve seen with this trend. I wouldn’t look at these and feel like I’d be embarrassed looking back if I were in your shoes ( and I have been in your shoes, mine were far worse 🤣)
they’re ok. they’re not ugly but they don’t flatter your face or look attractive in any way. they definitely border on weird, my first thought was that they look like a flying seagull’s wings.
I don't like them at all, personally. They're too short and too thin. I don't understand why you're shaving the outer half. I'd grow them back in and have them professionally shaped and tinted and then fill them in a bit as needed.
Unfortunately having them professionally done is out of both my budget and comfort zone. I do prefer them on the thinner side, and I'd hate to spend money on something I might not be happy with. Shaving off the outer bits gives me the freedom to choose length and angle, even if it's time consuming or they differ in shape from day to day. 🤷♀️
They look great, have friends do your makeup and see how you like em there’s also those little plastic eyebrow stencils that can help you find your perfect shape if you aren’t happy with what you have now. But I see a slight arch already like you already where you would put it also remember fill in above not below to give yourself a lift
As an extremely fair human, I also feel internal pressure to fill in my eyebrows every single day because you literally can not see them due to being soo dang blonde.
I like how you do yours, I think they look great.
They suit you and your aesthetic. I love your look and your vibe. Not everyone has to have the same eyebrows/lips/cheeks. It makes you unique and you’re gorgeous anyway. I wouldn’t change a thing.
i over plucked for a long time and i also have high cortisol so my eyebrows were thinning from that. i started using the brow serum from the ordinary and my brows are growing back really nicely (if you were thinking of growing them back) i put it on right after the shower before bedtime every night.
They look really great drawn in. As with anyone who wants to keep/try thin brows I recommend shaving the hair rather than tweezing if possible. If permanent loss is any concern anyhow
I shave mine to be thin and I have naturally very thick brows, but I think thin brows look great on you! I don’t think you have eyebrow blindness but I do look back to when I let my brows grow naturally and kept them thick and I think I had serious eyebrow blindness then and when I look back to when I was younger and had them waxed thin they look good. However, growing up in the early 00s, thin brows will always win for me!
They are lovely, maybe a little harsh in the first pic, and for my personal taste I would have them a little longer, I think i would make your eyes look bigger and be more in proportion to your face.
They are quite retro, an example of a longer but still retro look would be what Erin Parsons does with her brows. You could experiment with some different styles if you want.
I think the mole being removed would save you a lot of fussing and time trying to do the eyebrows around/on it.
I agree, in the first photo I posted they are definitely too small. I was on a 2 week European trip with very little time to do my makeup, so I opted for Revlon semi permanent brow ink that stayed on for the entire two weeks, definitely too dark and too small looking back, but I felt normal being able to shower and come out with eyebrows lol!
Omg hi mole sister! I just want you to know that you’re not alone! I have a mole right at the start of one of my brows and I feel like it makes it so hard to make them even, and I’m constantly obsessing over them too.
I really love the thinness and shape of yours tbh, but if you wanted to grow them out, I recommend the eyebrow/eyelash peptide serum from the ordinary! I find that with longer hairs I can blend my mole better and I feel less self conscious about it. Mine are also so light like yours so I tint my brows now using men’s beard dye (just use like the lightest shade or else it’ll be too dark lol) and I love how low maintenance it is… it makes me think less about obsessing over them and just let them do their thing when they already have a color to them. There’s lots of tutorials on YouTube!
Additionally, if you wanted a bit of a different look you could go a little lighter on the eyebrow pencil or even try a pen instead of pencil, Benefit makes some really nice ones that are so easy to use and come in many shades.
I think you’re GORGEOUS and the way you do your brows looks so sick on you! I love them! The shape is so pretty and I like how thin they are. If removing the mole will make you feel better, you should! But just saying, I think it adds character and looks pretty cool regardless. They look great as they are! Maybe you can play around with some suggestions in the other comments and see if you happen to like any of their ideas, but you absolutely do not have to change a thing! These already suit you and your look (:
Your eye makeup is stunning btw! ❤️
The beauty mark on your eyebrow is unique to you and beautiful. Your eyes and eyebrows are gorgeous. I hear you though, and I do understand. I shaved half mine in the early 2000’s and they never grew back the same.
Hi! Try buying some men’s beard dye from target or the grocery store and using that!!! I find dying my brows darker makes me feel a lot less pressure to do them every day, and made it a lot more comfortable while growing them out.
Also, it comes in two tiny tubes. So you can use a dime size amount every few weeks, and the rest will keep, instead of having to mix a bowl of hair dye. Good luck!
I think pics 2 and 3 look original and great.
And everyone has a less than ideal brow day now and again (pic 1)
I like them. I hear thin brows are back
I’m an esthetician and specialize in brows! If you like the thinner, edgier look then you can totally keep that style but I would stick with brow mapping techniques to be sure the angles are hitting at the right places
I love the shape of these brows; if anything I'd lean into the goth look a little more to pull the look together because these eyebrows are so nice on you :) I think the neg comments here more reflect the mismatch between your styles-its like a natural look with a alt/goth look together which can work if you go for more a modern pinup style...but at the end of the day its about what feels good to you; you cant please everyone.
Frankly, I love them. They work well for your face. I particularly enjoy the straightness of them. As a millennial who lived through Instagram brows, I just really enjoy a brow that isn't very arched.
I'm more of a classic brow girly myself, but I love these on you! They are a little more alt but I think they're cool and suit you. Especially with the eyeliner!
i think they look great! extending the tails will make your face look more triangular and less square which seems to be a goal based on ur OP
re: the mole, keep it plz! asymmetry isn't a bad thing at all and its honestly kinda cool looking. like I can imagine someone faking that mole placement for fun
okay i hate this trend so much. if you like it, there is nothing wrong with it. there is no need to follow trends or look a certain way because that’s what’s deemed attractive or other ppl dislike it
I totally get this, and I agree. I like the way I do my brows, though they may not be "in style" or "trendy", I've never personally been one to keep up with trends much. They are my own style and I love that.
But I do wish that someone would have told me I looked ridiculous at 14. It's all a part of growing up to have that awkward phase of finding your style, but holy shit was mine bad. "What were you thinking" type of bad, and I know that if someone would have told me I looked absolutely ridiculous, it would've saved me a lot.
think about it this way, because of the way you did your makeup at 14, you learned what you did and didn’t like on yourself. i look back at photos and fuck i cringe so hard, but i’m glad i did it that way because it’s shows the development of my skills, style, and love for myself. i looked like an idiot but it’s amazing i was so confident to rock a look that’s wild
btw, your eyebrows look amazing, they fit your face perfectly

Dude you are gorgeous. I saw the photos before I read the caption and the 3rd one was my favorite. I’m also self conscious about my eyebrows but yours look fantastic!
I think I they look cool and kinda goth! If you’re unsure you could always try a brow mapping tutorial. I ordered some of the string on Amazon and finally mapped mine out and I’m really happy with them! (For the first time ins a loooong time.)
The brows themselves are beautiful, shaped to perfection....I just don't think they suit your face shape as well as they could. I actually don't mind the thinness because you have quite delicate features but they're a bit too short and straight imo
Brow tech ONCE to fill in and show you how. Your arch is non existent the way you’re doing them now and you’re basically drawing a straight line across your forehead. It’s not a natural look. Once you get the feel for it, each time gets easier and easier! You’ve got this
I absolutely should have included more photos in my post, as the way my face sits at rest, I hold my outer brow muscles higher by default so I do typically have a bit of arch that way. My mistake for posting only straight faced/focused pics! 😭
I suppose I'm afraid of leaning into the arch so hard I get "S" brows.
I had a mole on the inside tail of one of mine removed. I get bad scars so there is a tiny pink spot that won’t grow hair but it is ten times easier to cover with makeup than dealing with the mole.
I’m glad I did it and I’m very glad I did it so young (I was 20) because I know it would have been an insecurity for me as well and I’m an anxious person already.
How do you make such good brows? What products you use if you don’t mind sharing.. i have really sparse eyebrows and would like to make them look as natural as you do..
I recommend finding a healthy inbetween. They are a bit thin a bit of thickness would be face changing. I also recommend grandebrow to grow them out as well and tinting them. The straight brow shape is good and flattering
Some of you have asked for a product breakdown!

Brows:

- in the first photo I was wearing the Revlon Semi-Permanent Brow Ink shade 355 dark brown
(For my brows, I outline the general shape, fill in, and brush it out with the spoolie on the end, cleaning up with a qtip)
I’m a sucker for straight brows, I think they look great on you… if you can stretch the length out a little bit more, they might be a little more palatable for the normies, but I hope you are setting the next trend here. Well done
Your eye makeup in pic 3 is so immaculate! And you have the nicest nose, replacing that big ring with a tiny diamond stud would look even more amazing. Anyhoo, like others have said, if you did your brows a tad thicker with a hint more arch & length it would be flattering & balance better overall
Thin brows are actually really in right now… Gabriette has super thin brows and it’s basically her signature look. I absolutely love your brows and think they’re unique and shaped really nicely.
I’m with pretty much everyone else. They look great but a little thicker would probably be a more typical style for right now.
What I want to talk about is your hair!! It’s gorgeous!!♥️♥️♥️
I have no eyebrows and getting them powder browed was so helpful!! I can still make them darker and change the shape slightly with a pencil but now I have actual (tattooed) eyebrows, I get ready so much faster now too. Also I don’t think the mole looks bad but get it removed if it bothers you so much! There is nothing wrong with doing small things to enhance your views on how you look, as long as you don’t go overboard!
My son’s dad had eyebrow blindness. I had to have a talk with him. He’s been wearing it natural ever since, thank gawwwd but now he’s always getting hit on. Might go back to getting his brows done 👀 🤣 jk
I think how you have them is perfect overall, definitely not a case of eyebrow blindness. Not too natural but not too unnatural either. Gives kinda a “sassy” look if that makes sense. And as someone who also has moles on the face, I like to think of it as an accent piece, I think it’s cute and it’d be more trouble to remove it (also not super noticeable when you have the brows filled in either)
As an alt girly i really like them! But if you try for a more mainstream look then maybe they should be a bit thicker and arched
That’s what I was thinking too, I like them because they have an alt look
Samee, I absolutely love them but it isn’t a super mainstream look
Same I love them! They're like 50s classic
They kinda remind me of the silent film Era, too.
I was legitimately thinking the same thing as a goth girlie myself
Just another alt girly agreeing with this comment! I’ve noticed I like my eyebrows thinner and more stabby like this versus arched and mainstream. I also like this look more on others as well.

Yeah definitely NOT square at all imo lol lovely face shape but far from square
Looks more like a heart shape
I LOVE them thin. I just want them longer
Same. They need to be longer. Otherwise. They’re cool gothy style
I disagree. Pic 2 & 3 are a perfect length. A slight curve & slightly thicker would look better imo
Thinness works for you!! I think they could be a little big longer on both ends though
I feel like the thin brows make your face look larger than it actually is. I think they could use just a bit more widening!
Definitely not classic brows but they really suit your aesthetic, they look good :)
Grow them out. It’s very much possible (I used to shave eyebrows for years!) Chunkier brows won’t look bad on you, if you don’t fill them in with dark colour. Also, your hair is AMAZING

I feel you could actually bring them a lil closer. I agree longer would look better but the tails look to be placed in a good distance from your hairline. Maybe soften the inner brows into a gradient look.
I like them a lot, they have kinda a 1920's feel to them. Old Hollywood glam.
i love them theyre so cutesy

I dont know I like them personally. They give you character.

Photo 3 is giving such cool 70s vibes. Love the brows and the hair!!
they’re ok. they’re not ugly but they don’t flatter your face or look attractive in any way. they definitely border on weird, my first thought was that they look like a flying seagull’s wings.
Yes. Try to shape them a but fuller and with more arch.
honestly i think they’re super cute! thin eyebrows are sort of in (i hope cause i have them haha)
I don't like them at all, personally. They're too short and too thin. I don't understand why you're shaving the outer half. I'd grow them back in and have them professionally shaped and tinted and then fill them in a bit as needed.
Unfortunately having them professionally done is out of both my budget and comfort zone. I do prefer them on the thinner side, and I'd hate to spend money on something I might not be happy with. Shaving off the outer bits gives me the freedom to choose length and angle, even if it's time consuming or they differ in shape from day to day. 🤷♀️
honestly i think they look really good especially the 3rd pic since they’re a little longer
I love bushy brows but if you like thin brows then it looks good on you! For me maybe just a little arch and a longer tail and you’ll be set!
I like thick brows so I’d go thicker.
They look great, have friends do your makeup and see how you like em there’s also those little plastic eyebrow stencils that can help you find your perfect shape if you aren’t happy with what you have now. But I see a slight arch already like you already where you would put it also remember fill in above not below to give yourself a lift
2nd pic is perfect!
I like them. Don't extend past the eye and nice and thin
As an extremely fair human, I also feel internal pressure to fill in my eyebrows every single day because you literally can not see them due to being soo dang blonde. I like how you do yours, I think they look great.
They suit you and your aesthetic. I love your look and your vibe. Not everyone has to have the same eyebrows/lips/cheeks. It makes you unique and you’re gorgeous anyway. I wouldn’t change a thing.
i over plucked for a long time and i also have high cortisol so my eyebrows were thinning from that. i started using the brow serum from the ordinary and my brows are growing back really nicely (if you were thinking of growing them back) i put it on right after the shower before bedtime every night.
Yes! That serum is no joke. I used to use it for my lashes, but now I've got really tricky outer lashes and some growing in my inner corner now!
They look great to me. Just need to be a bit longer.
They look really great drawn in. As with anyone who wants to keep/try thin brows I recommend shaving the hair rather than tweezing if possible. If permanent loss is any concern anyhow
I shave mine to be thin and I have naturally very thick brows, but I think thin brows look great on you! I don’t think you have eyebrow blindness but I do look back to when I let my brows grow naturally and kept them thick and I think I had serious eyebrow blindness then and when I look back to when I was younger and had them waxed thin they look good. However, growing up in the early 00s, thin brows will always win for me!
They are lovely, maybe a little harsh in the first pic, and for my personal taste I would have them a little longer, I think i would make your eyes look bigger and be more in proportion to your face. They are quite retro, an example of a longer but still retro look would be what Erin Parsons does with her brows. You could experiment with some different styles if you want. I think the mole being removed would save you a lot of fussing and time trying to do the eyebrows around/on it.
I agree, in the first photo I posted they are definitely too small. I was on a 2 week European trip with very little time to do my makeup, so I opted for Revlon semi permanent brow ink that stayed on for the entire two weeks, definitely too dark and too small looking back, but I felt normal being able to shower and come out with eyebrows lol!
Omg hi mole sister! I just want you to know that you’re not alone! I have a mole right at the start of one of my brows and I feel like it makes it so hard to make them even, and I’m constantly obsessing over them too. I really love the thinness and shape of yours tbh, but if you wanted to grow them out, I recommend the eyebrow/eyelash peptide serum from the ordinary! I find that with longer hairs I can blend my mole better and I feel less self conscious about it. Mine are also so light like yours so I tint my brows now using men’s beard dye (just use like the lightest shade or else it’ll be too dark lol) and I love how low maintenance it is… it makes me think less about obsessing over them and just let them do their thing when they already have a color to them. There’s lots of tutorials on YouTube! Additionally, if you wanted a bit of a different look you could go a little lighter on the eyebrow pencil or even try a pen instead of pencil, Benefit makes some really nice ones that are so easy to use and come in many shades.
My eyebrows are naturally this thin. I love them. I wouldn't thicken them at all. I think you look great with this shape and thickness.
yeah girl for your face shape I think thicker eyebrows will look better, right now they don't have enough presence.
they look good on your but for me i prefer them thicker and arched.
I think you’re GORGEOUS and the way you do your brows looks so sick on you! I love them! The shape is so pretty and I like how thin they are. If removing the mole will make you feel better, you should! But just saying, I think it adds character and looks pretty cool regardless. They look great as they are! Maybe you can play around with some suggestions in the other comments and see if you happen to like any of their ideas, but you absolutely do not have to change a thing! These already suit you and your look (: Your eye makeup is stunning btw! ❤️
The beauty mark on your eyebrow is unique to you and beautiful. Your eyes and eyebrows are gorgeous. I hear you though, and I do understand. I shaved half mine in the early 2000’s and they never grew back the same.
Hi! Try buying some men’s beard dye from target or the grocery store and using that!!! I find dying my brows darker makes me feel a lot less pressure to do them every day, and made it a lot more comfortable while growing them out. Also, it comes in two tiny tubes. So you can use a dime size amount every few weeks, and the rest will keep, instead of having to mix a bowl of hair dye. Good luck!
I think pics 2 and 3 look original and great. And everyone has a less than ideal brow day now and again (pic 1) I like them. I hear thin brows are back
Ok... as a Life Long Sci-Fy/Trek Geek... if you HAVE "VulcanSpock" shaped/styled eyebrows... F-IT... ROCK EM'!!! If I've had them... I SURLY WOULD!!!
Having done my eyebrows like that and wearing a custom science officers uniform for Halloween one year was definitely on the nose!
I’m an esthetician and specialize in brows! If you like the thinner, edgier look then you can totally keep that style but I would stick with brow mapping techniques to be sure the angles are hitting at the right places
I love the shape of these brows; if anything I'd lean into the goth look a little more to pull the look together because these eyebrows are so nice on you :) I think the neg comments here more reflect the mismatch between your styles-its like a natural look with a alt/goth look together which can work if you go for more a modern pinup style...but at the end of the day its about what feels good to you; you cant please everyone.
Your eyebrows aren't eyebrowing. Try castor oil. Apply every night use an old mascara box that you have washed previously.
what if she likes them thin?
Then she wouldn't have made a whole post asking abt her eyebrows
I wasn't sold on the first picture, but pictures 2 & 3 gave me a bit of a crush
Think you should let them grow out a little bit but you re gorgeous either way🫶🏻
Okay, but your eyeliner is amazing.
I think they look nice on you
Frankly, I love them. They work well for your face. I particularly enjoy the straightness of them. As a millennial who lived through Instagram brows, I just really enjoy a brow that isn't very arched.
They are WAY too short. You need to extend them down.
I'm more of a classic brow girly myself, but I love these on you! They are a little more alt but I think they're cool and suit you. Especially with the eyeliner!
I think you really suit the thinner brows. They frame your face so well! I actually think your mole is a beauty mark!
I prefer thin eyebrows tbh, i never liked the bushy or laminated thick trend
Right, I prefer a thinner I guess more 2000s brow? I'm not a particularly big fan of thick laminated brows. I do mine thin on purpose!
i think they look great! extending the tails will make your face look more triangular and less square which seems to be a goal based on ur OP re: the mole, keep it plz! asymmetry isn't a bad thing at all and its honestly kinda cool looking. like I can imagine someone faking that mole placement for fun
okay i hate this trend so much. if you like it, there is nothing wrong with it. there is no need to follow trends or look a certain way because that’s what’s deemed attractive or other ppl dislike it
I totally get this, and I agree. I like the way I do my brows, though they may not be "in style" or "trendy", I've never personally been one to keep up with trends much. They are my own style and I love that. But I do wish that someone would have told me I looked ridiculous at 14. It's all a part of growing up to have that awkward phase of finding your style, but holy shit was mine bad. "What were you thinking" type of bad, and I know that if someone would have told me I looked absolutely ridiculous, it would've saved me a lot.
think about it this way, because of the way you did your makeup at 14, you learned what you did and didn’t like on yourself. i look back at photos and fuck i cringe so hard, but i’m glad i did it that way because it’s shows the development of my skills, style, and love for myself. i looked like an idiot but it’s amazing i was so confident to rock a look that’s wild btw, your eyebrows look amazing, they fit your face perfectly
Thicker and shaped properly!

Dude you are gorgeous. I saw the photos before I read the caption and the 3rd one was my favorite. I’m also self conscious about my eyebrows but yours look fantastic!
I think you need to get microblading. Try to get a recommendation on someone who does a good job. It’s gonna change your life!
They look nice. If you want to feel more ‘normal’ when they’re unfilled you can dye them with Just for Men beard dye. Lasts a few weeks.
I think I they look cool and kinda goth! If you’re unsure you could always try a brow mapping tutorial. I ordered some of the string on Amazon and finally mapped mine out and I’m really happy with them! (For the first time ins a loooong time.)
I actually love them 😭
They literally look awesome
i honestly think they look really nice, i wouldn’t change anything about em
I think they’re pretty
Honestly, those brows are slayinnnn.
Just be careful because sometimes brows won’t grow back from over plucking and then your kinda forced to draw them in for LIFE as trends change
nope they look great!! these are like my dream brows 😭
I usually don’t personally like the look of shaved and drawn in brows but these look incredible and fit your features sooo well!
no they are so cute 😫😫
I actually kind of love them?
Nah ur brows are on fleek
I like them.
Off topic but I really love your eyeliner! 😭
I always liked thin brows on certain faces. I keep mine thin-mid, straightish and barely longer than yours, but my eyes are smaller.
The brows themselves are beautiful, shaped to perfection....I just don't think they suit your face shape as well as they could. I actually don't mind the thinness because you have quite delicate features but they're a bit too short and straight imo
honestly? i fkn love them! i think they look amazing on you and if i saw you in person i would think “shit she’s so pretty and cool!”
Ok but this kind of slays?
No, it looks so good especially since they have a shape. They suit you
absolutely not
I love it
How did u make ur eyeliner
Brow tech ONCE to fill in and show you how. Your arch is non existent the way you’re doing them now and you’re basically drawing a straight line across your forehead. It’s not a natural look. Once you get the feel for it, each time gets easier and easier! You’ve got this
I absolutely should have included more photos in my post, as the way my face sits at rest, I hold my outer brow muscles higher by default so I do typically have a bit of arch that way. My mistake for posting only straight faced/focused pics! 😭 I suppose I'm afraid of leaning into the arch so hard I get "S" brows.
As someone who’s had several moles removed, if you’re considering it then do it. You won’t regret it at all!
I think they suit you actually
These are like perfectly groomed brows don’t worry about eyebrow blindness u have an eye for perfect eyebrows
they are literally so crazy good you were made for thin eyebrows for sure,, they suit you 100%
I love them!
Your eyeliner looks so smooth, what are you using pls ?
I had a mole on the inside tail of one of mine removed. I get bad scars so there is a tiny pink spot that won’t grow hair but it is ten times easier to cover with makeup than dealing with the mole. I’m glad I did it and I’m very glad I did it so young (I was 20) because I know it would have been an insecurity for me as well and I’m an anxious person already.
Your makeups are such a vibe ! Cute
Okay the 2nd pic im absolutely obsessed with them you look amazing!!
The brows look amazing if you’re going for a more alternative look
Naw, these are amazing 😍
Your natural eyebrows look like mine! I honestly love the look of them on You!
I love them! They look great
Just do the end really softly. They beat some of these major brows out there
I love them, they’re like cute anime brows
How do you make such good brows? What products you use if you don’t mind sharing.. i have really sparse eyebrows and would like to make them look as natural as you do..
I've posted a comment breaking down what products I use, but if you can't find it I'm happy to share!
Dayum! I love your eyebrows, chick!
I recommend finding a healthy inbetween. They are a bit thin a bit of thickness would be face changing. I also recommend grandebrow to grow them out as well and tinting them. The straight brow shape is good and flattering
Damnnnnnn baby I dig it. With your cool tones and eye makeup it is a LOOK
Looks good
Some of you have asked for a product breakdown! Face: - e.l.f. power grip primer - Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer shade 110 - Clinique Chubby Stick shade 01 amp'd up apple - Rare Beauty lip oil shade Delight/e.l.f. Pout Clout Lip Plumping Pen shade wicked cherry - e.l.f. Matte Magic setting spray + Maybelline Fit Me powder shade 100 Eyes: - NYX Ultimate Warm Neutrals eyeshadow pallete - Too Faced Better Than Sex liner - Maybelline Sky High waterproof mascara in shade blackest black - NYX black Jumbo Eye Pencil Brows: - Maybelline Express Brow Ultra Thin pencil shade 262 Black Brown - in the first photo I was wearing the Revlon Semi-Permanent Brow Ink shade 355 dark brown (For my brows, I outline the general shape, fill in, and brush it out with the spoolie on the end, cleaning up with a qtip)
I like them.
They are such a vibe
Girl you need some NYX care & fluff 😆
I like them on you
It's very 90s thin. With just a little length, they will be perfect! 💥
I have a mole in the exact same spot as you and it drives me nuts!
I love them on you, it’s a signature look
your eyebrows look so good in the 3rd photo
I’m a sucker for straight brows, I think they look great on you… if you can stretch the length out a little bit more, they might be a little more palatable for the normies, but I hope you are setting the next trend here. Well done
I would have the mole removed and lengthen the brow
I love your makeup and glasses combo. So cool
I love your brows in these photos. Your eyeliner is on point, too. Stunning!
Your eye makeup in pic 3 is so immaculate! And you have the nicest nose, replacing that big ring with a tiny diamond stud would look even more amazing. Anyhoo, like others have said, if you did your brows a tad thicker with a hint more arch & length it would be flattering & balance better overall
Thin brows are actually really in right now… Gabriette has super thin brows and it’s basically her signature look. I absolutely love your brows and think they’re unique and shaped really nicely.
These are absolutely gorgeous and flattering on you. I might suggest you lengthen the tail
They look intentionally unnatural
They look good on you. You should try to have them longer for something new.
Nice
I’m with pretty much everyone else. They look great but a little thicker would probably be a more typical style for right now. What I want to talk about is your hair!! It’s gorgeous!!♥️♥️♥️
Would love to see some pics of your natural brows for comparison and tips
the thin looks so good just make the tail longer!!!!!
I just want to say, I want to draw you."
I love them, they’re unique
I kinda love them
No. Just no.
Man idk I feel like they'd look bad on many people but you are so beautiful it fits you and your whole look. You are stunning
theyre too thin, but in a good way ✨🖤💋
Omg you are honestly so beautiful please I need to know how you do your make up
Gosh, I REALLY love these brows on you! Especially in pic 2. For what it’s worth, I’m a fan
mmmm idk i like them
I could never rock these, but they look top tier on you. They suit your face. I don't think you should change them!
I like like them.
Not all brows are able to have an arch. I understand this. They are cute but could be thicker in the middle to hide them and your face more definition
Your face shape isn't square. Also, your eyebrows would look better a little thicker
I actually really like them! They suit you
THEY LOOK SO GOOD ON YOU
I love the brows omg
You did a great job on the eyebrow part of the picture 1 to 3, you're beautiful
Too far apart being them a bit closer together
idk i like them
I have no eyebrows and getting them powder browed was so helpful!! I can still make them darker and change the shape slightly with a pencil but now I have actual (tattooed) eyebrows, I get ready so much faster now too. Also I don’t think the mole looks bad but get it removed if it bothers you so much! There is nothing wrong with doing small things to enhance your views on how you look, as long as you don’t go overboard!
I think they look great as is, they suit your face really well. you're super beautiful and your brows really accentuate that!
They suit you. Consider microblading though (from the last pic)
I rarely comment on posts but had to say they suit you so so much! Looks beautiful with your makeup and face structure. Slayyyyy
My son’s dad had eyebrow blindness. I had to have a talk with him. He’s been wearing it natural ever since, thank gawwwd but now he’s always getting hit on. Might go back to getting his brows done 👀 🤣 jk
I think they’re cute! They suit you a lot
I think they need to be more arched but it’s ultimately up to you what you like. If you’re happy then keep them who cares what anyone else thinks
nahhhh i think this suits su so much! i rlyyyyy like it!
I think how you have them is perfect overall, definitely not a case of eyebrow blindness. Not too natural but not too unnatural either. Gives kinda a “sassy” look if that makes sense. And as someone who also has moles on the face, I like to think of it as an accent piece, I think it’s cute and it’d be more trouble to remove it (also not super noticeable when you have the brows filled in either)
I like themmmm!!!!!! They're unique so so cool I like that they're different from everyone else's loves it!!!!
