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

These make-up are pure art.

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!

Kira Aderne said...

They are fun!

a kiss friend!

you are so great!

Diego R. Wyatt said...

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!

Aline said...

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

MakeupByRenRen said...

wow some of these look amazing!

Baybay Mama said...

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.

Unknown said...

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!

Sara said...

Wow!!

Tina { Luphia Loves... } said...

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

LenoreNeverM♡re said...

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

ilikestuff said...

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...

Andy said...

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!

Elizabeth Victoria Clark said...

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

Lisa said...

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

Daniela Valdez said...

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

GuapĂłloga said...

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!

HoneyBunny said...

That;s very brave:D I love the post!

Fashionista said...

Karen said...

i will add you too even though my list is much lessimpressive :)

Ella Gregory said...

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.

Hemaly said...

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

shopinchic said...

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

Anonymous said...

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

Wanderlusting said...

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?

Siljesfashion said...

Very cool, love those different looks!

Pau(Rox) said...

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 :)

Allison said...

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!

Meg said...

Strong brows can be quite sexy.

Frankie said...

*throws away tweezers and digs out marker pen*

It's on! Great photos as always, CC

Frances Davison said...

Laura said...

These are so fab but I am not sure if I could go out during the day with them painted :) Love your blog Carrie.

Megan Cassidy said...

Givenchy Blog said...

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.

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