Are thick, dark eyebrows a turnoff?

[Anonymous]

I have naturally dark and very thick eyebrows. I keep them nice and neat though, I never have uni brow and I pluck the ends so they are thicker toward the middle.

You cannot see ANY skin underneath my dark, thick eyebrows and I have always felt insecure about it.

I have been told they are manly eyebrows, but I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or insult...

I don't think it's a turn off. but brows always accompany the eyes. The eyes should get more attention :) If you feel insecure about it, get it bleached so it's lighter, or dye it to match your hair and skin.

Ok, where do you go to get your eyebrows bleached?

I have thick eyebrows and love them to death (runs in family). As long as they're not something you can braid, then keep the thickness. I personally love full eyebrows. Unibrow, no...

as long as it's trimmed, shaped properly and kept neat, then I don't see a reason why it'd be a turnoff

Trim the length with scissors and a comb, and clean/shape the edges with a beard trimmer.

It sounds simple, but it works wonders; I speak from experience.

What should the length be?

[avksx]

Press a comb over your eyebrows, as though you were combing them, so that the hair is protruding through the teeth of the comb. Trim the hairs along the comb. This should trim them to about 1/8"-1/4", or the thickness of the comb. Start or by cutting them so they are about 1/4" inch standing out straight, and trim shorter as you deem necessary.

I don't really think so. But I've been told that thick eyebrows make you look as if your upset. Meaning I've been told I look mad all the time.

Your eyebrows sound nice actually
