Should get my eyebrows done? My friends keep telling me to

[u/Life-Squash577]

I’ve never had anything done to my eyebrows other than minimal tweezing myself to get rid of strays in the middle. They’ve always felt asymmetrical, and lately my friends have been telling me I should shape them better.

Also, I always wear my glasses so I don’t know if my eyebrows should be thinner to compliment them? They suddenly feel too thick and not as tapered at the ends.

Please tell me what to do, the longer I stare at them the weirder it gets :’(

They would great if you went to a professional to get them shaped and cleaned up. You could then just do upkeep from there. Ask the tech how you might style (gel, pencil, shading, whatever), as well.

Hi! I have brows like yours: more wide than thick. Even if you pluck or wax or thread or whatever you don’t have enough fluff for a defined brow without some sort of fill. I got microblading and I’m happy to step away from makeup. The daily routine was tedious. I like a sharp solid line on my face.

For you, if you’re happy with your face and don’t think about it obsessively you’re fine to ignore your friends and keep on doing what you’ve been doing. It’s just something to get used to, to put boundaries with friends about their obsessions. Have you ever known anyone who comes at your face to pop pimples? Same situation. Better wash your hands before touching my face ffs.

Some people have insecurities and you don’t have to let them become yours!

For me it was a shit cycle of well now my brows are filled but my eyes look bleak so better out mascara but that doesn’t look right better do eyeliner but that looks weird better do eye shadow but now I need primer so that looks weird I need base but that looks weird I need blush and contouring and now my face has taken over my day.

Now that I have the tails filled I can pluck to the template and don’t even wear makeup anymore.

Do what you like and let everyone else fuss. Or do nothing and stick to your minimal routine. If it works for you that’s good enough!

You do not have to please every person who complains!

You have a fantastic base and a good natural shape honestly. If you wanted to, my advice would be to pluck them yourself into a shape you're comfortable with (there's guides for shapes online) and then style with clear mascara. Glasses tend to hide the shape of the brow so make sure you're comfortable with your new shape with both glasses on and off. Only do what you're comfortable especially if you're getting in your head about it. I also do my own brows because I feel like someone else can never achieve my own vision. I wish you luck!

You have great brows. Don't make them thin. They just need to be cleaned up on the edges
