Let me start off by saying my brows are my pride and joy. I have never let anyone touch them. I tweeze them myself, have never had a wax, and definitely wouldn't let anyone get near them with this whole threading thing. I spend about 10 minutes each morning carefully creating faux brow hairs with my brow pencil then slick them into place with my brow gel, and each time I feel more and more accomplished.
I photographed each look and posted them on Facebook to show all my friends and family (and all the random people that somehow have become Facebook friends with me over the years). What they had to say was simply priceless.

The Look: Metallic Brows
After looking through inspiration photos, I assumed there was no way this was ever going to look cute and that I would immediately hate it. To my surprise, I wasn't that against metallic brows once I put them on. While I'm not adventurous enough to wear this trend out in public on a daily basis, for a fun night out on the town (you know, in a town far away from where I reside) I may be into it. Click ahead to see how it looked on me.
My friends weren't so convinced. Still, of all four looks, this is the one that they were the most in to. Well, okay, maybe not in to. Maybe more like "I'm less offended by No. 1." Others thought that this brow look would be more appropriate for Halloween, a festival or a "pretty high-end fashion show."

The Look: Underbrows
My thoughts: Thanks to Gigi Hadid at the Giambatista Valli AW16 fashion show back in March, this trend was all. over. Instagram. Seeing as my current idol, sweet angel sent down from above, Gigi, wore this trend, I told myself that I had to love it. After pushing aside my Gigi obsession, I realized that this brow trend really wasn't so bad. Out of the four trends, this is one that I would wear somewhere in the public eye without feeling like a total space case.
Again, this brow trend was less offensive to my friends and family. One acquaintance went as far as "really liking" this one. Another friend told me that I pull it off really well. Maybe this will be my new look? Or maybe I'll only wear it when I'm at home in my bedroom pretending to walk the runway like Gigi.
