Pencil them in or paint them on, darlings – be brazen with those brows!

  5. I've always been sad that I have these straight eyebrows that don't take sculpting or makeup well... but this shows me that eyebrows don't have to be arched and long to be interesting!

  6. They are fun!

    a kiss friend!

    you are so great!

  7. This is such a cool way to frame a face and make a statement at the same time. I think the Dior Couture collection had some of the best brows and makeup of the season, I also love the Marc Jacobs brows and eyes. Very 80s. The Barbie brows scared me a bit lol...it is a whole lot of look!

  11. I love this....very cool runway trend:)

  12. very very cool stuff. i don't know if it would translate well to the sidewalk but on the runway and in editorials it is so fierce.

  13. eyebrows are such a big part of the whole makeup process... stands out so much.. not sure if i'd ever be bold enough to pull off these dramatic brows!

    ReplyDelete
  14. these look fabulous! i love a more natural looking strong brows rather than the over shaped ones!

    ReplyDelete

  17. those are some crazy brows...ow, lovely!

    ReplyDelete
  18. I've always loved the look of superskinny 30's style arched eyebrows. Obviously, this look would be a little hard to test drive without seriously messing up my face...

    ReplyDelete
  19. That's pretty amazing.
    I wish ... I wish something about Make up but I don't know yet WHAT! lol :)

    New post on my blog, it's been such a long time!

  20. Oh my, I never noticed all the crazy eyebrows this season before! I love all the crazy makeup from the shows xx

    ReplyDelete
  21. I love the Christian Dior Couture look with the white shadow and winged liner!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Woow, It's amazing how we can change if we put some make up on, sp on the eyes!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Wow, makeup can change all the idea of an outfit! I love eyebrows and I found out they need to be groomed every week to let the person look clean and flawless, no matter how beautiful is she or he naturally, don't you think?

    Any way, I don't think I will paint it so much, at least 'till Halloween!

  27. I love strong brows - I hate little thin ones. When I was in NYC I got complemented on my eyebrows, it's just another reason why I want to move there.

    ReplyDelete
  28. It's so dramatic! But big 'brows are pretty weird.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Those brows! What can I say? They are very dramatic.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Amazing and inspirating !
    I do hate fake tiny eyebrows. Depressing !
    Bold, 8o' one are so much funnier !

    ReplyDelete
  31. I would LOVE to know how to do my brows properly. All I know is that they don't match, never have and I don't know if they ever will. And I know how many women look so fab with a heavier or stronger brow but I'm afraid it would be too much for my small, round face.

    Any suggestions on where to get a good brow shaping? Make-up counter? Spa? etc?

  33. Excelentes versiones del maquillaje para los ojos, en concreto adoro las sombras de Dior, y su rimmel Diorshow Iconic consigue elevar las pestañas hasta el infinito.
    Preciosas pics como siempre.
    XXX wapa :)

  34. Omg, I didn't even recognize Taylor Momsen!
    I have horrible eyebrows as a result of overplucking back in 9th grade (if I only knew then what I know now...). I'm constantly trying to figure out ways for them to look bolder!

  35. Strong brows can be quite sexy.

  57. OMG! I have such a soft spot for dramatic brows! Chanel had very dramtic brows for spring 09, it was really simple, but still dramatic. The make-up both at Dior and Galliano never fail me. I seriously feel like trying the Marni look, but it would seem odd lol.

  58. Love your selection for this post! Hot!! Brows can make or break a face..
