My natural brows are like Brooke Shields's or Jennifer Connelly's when they were younger. Medium-heavy and dark brown. In high school I overplucked, especially through the arch. Now I pluck the bushy inner part, and I keep them groomed underneath. If I wear makeup I might use some brow pencil. I've noticed they're a little sparser than they used to be.

The daycare workers that thought this was a good movie to show little kids should never be able to work with children again. That movie still creeps me out to this day.

I do wish my eyebrows extended outward more. Some women's go way out toward their temples, which is striking. Jennifer Connelly's do that, mine do not. They only extend a tiny bit past the outer corners of my eyes.

I voted for thinner, but from I'm reading here, that's not it at all. My features are small, and that includes my brows, so I sport a more natural look. Which on me is thinner than most peoples. (Although I recently overdid the tweezing and right now it's a little thin, but I'm growing out again.)

I knew someone that either tweezed her brows out of existence or didn't have any to begin with, and she drew them on in a very exaggerated clown like thin arc. Single line, no feathering. I got used to it, but for awhile I found it very disarming.

Another female fashion practice I totally don't relate to.

Mine are normally pretty thin. Even before i get then groomed. I don't have much choice. I veer towards thicker. But my thick is pretty thin.


I am on my phone, please forgive the typos.

I thinned mine starting around 5th grade I think. I had caterpillar eyebrows as evidenced in the photo of my 9 year old self. The first year or two I went a little tweezer happy and they were much too thin for my face. I let them thicken up a bit and that's where I keep them now. I guess they would be considered thin compared to my natural eyebrows, but they seem to fall between thin and thick in general, at least to me.

I'm a male and I chose natural. I prefer women to look just as they were created.

I've never shaped mine, though in recent years, I seem to have to do more plucking of obvious strays. I've always just left them natural, as I have a pretty well-defined natural arch as a favor of genetics.

Personally, I never liked the very thin brow look on people to whom it didn't come naturally.
