I bet you've actually seen a lot of people with some kind of brow work done, but not noticed. My thyroid issues take off my tail - my eyebrows aren't even to start with, but this evens them out more.
Ignore the end of day, makeup melted off look and grey hairs, lol. https://imgur.com/PB6a6As
I really think many women see problems in their appearance than no one else notices. No one looks at our faces a closely as we do. And yet the stress and expense of rectifying these "defects" is a huge industry, which is an indication of how insecure people are.
There is a "before" and "after" picture in this article in which the "before" eyebrows are described as "looking quite sad." Honestly, I think they look pretty happy, and the after picture is just too much.
Agreed. I think some of this exploded during the pandemic too. People who had jobs where they could work from home seemed to spend a lot of time on zoom where you're looking at yourself and probably extra time in the mirror. Skincare routines became super popular. I did read an article that said people had more time to focus on things about their face they dont like which has resulted in more botox, fillers, and i guess this microblading of eyebrows.
I sometimes wonder how or why people come up with the money for all these things because it's not just wealthier people having the procedures anymore. Microblading is $400-$600 and from what i understand it's not just a one time thing. Botox and fillers are even more $$ and are definitely not a one time thing. Then you've got whatever you do to your hair at the salon and probably other things because these people are vain...never mind if you have kids and a mortgage. Maybe more people are coming into extra cash these days..I just dont know. Good luck to the people in their 20's and 30's who are this unhappy with their looks. It doesn't improve with time.
I am the first to say "to each their own." Therefore, my own is that I will pass on what every reputable make-up artist knows is a drag technique. I don't feel compelled to look like a man who looks like a woman when I am already a woman.
Yes, a lot of younger women are making themselves up to look like drag queens, these days. Some of them would put the contestants of RuPaul’s Drag Race to shame!

They look fine, and not unnatural, like some women are having done.
Actually, I know a woman who’s daughter has Alopecia - and you can understand her having it done, also. What I can’t understand are women who’s eyebrows look fine to start with, getting this treatment done and going overboard with the results.
Some of the microblading I've seen looks like they've been drawn on with a sharpie though.
You have to find a talented cosmetic artist to get the look to replicate fine hairs. I've been thinking of it since my brows are getting sparse but many of the samples I see don't look natural. There are only a couple of places I would use and I would have to travel.
Eyebrows are important to our looks, but the daily maintenance of dealing with sparse brows is a lot and easy to mess up, it would be nice to not have to fuss with the pencils and gels and powders and hoping you have a good brow day.
I don’t think mine look like sharpie. And they’re definitely a big improvement on what I had (or more accurately, didn’t have). And worth every penny.

Even though I had to go with powder brows due to my oily skin, the artist I went to is good. She has been doing permanent makeup for over 20 years. She also teaches it. She owns a studio somewhere else but comes to our town once a month. The other artist I was considering had similar credentials, but I was going to have to travel an hour to get to her. Very important to know the work of who you go to.

It used to take me forever to do my eyebrows. Last Dec. I paid $450 to get them done and it's the best money I ever spent. I wake up with perfect eyebrows. It looks like individual hairs are drawn in two different colors. Very natural. It's supposed to last up to two years. Has started to fade a little but easy to touch up with a pencil.
I've seen the horrible brows where it's like they are painted on in one color.
Like anything, the procedure depends on the person doing it. You need an artist.
Speaking of bad eyebrow fads, does anyone remember the 80s when women bleached their brows?
