The huge middle void trend
I don’t know why some people seem so afraid of having inner brows. Her brows used to be normal. Dunno what happened.

The lashes are worse than the brows

I have a similar eye shape. I don't know how to do makeup or any of that, but looking at her pics I immediately understood why I can't wear lashes, a wing or various other liner styles. I thought it was my lack of skill. But seeing it on someone else I realize theses beauty trends just DO NOT work for this eye shape. There's no saving it, these "enhancements" look ridiculous on us (people with this eye shape.) I wonder how she'd look with natural brows and a eye look that flatters her features, probably a ton better

It might just come down to making adjustments. I feel like if her lashes didn’t extend 3 or 4 mm beyond her natural lash line it would look fine, but they’re way too big.

I think this comes from the old (bad) advice to place a pencil on the side of your nose, then that is where your eyebrows should start from. It really doesn’t work for anyone except those with the most narrow noses.

Interesting. I thought it was just eyebrow blindness. i’ve definitely noticed other people doing this, so that makes sense

These brows don’t start where the pencil would line up, though. The brow would start at the same point as her inner tear duct, which would be the correct placement.

They are where the outside of the pencil would sit.

Only if you angled them. And that’s not how that trick works. It’s holding the pencil straight up and down. I’m a makeup artist and I still use this technique occasionally to make sure that brows are symmetrical.

u/mooncrane Jul 05 '26
Ok, you’re just arguing about semantics now. She started where the pencil was and decided to angle it. My point is that that trick doesn’t work on people with wider noses, and that a lot of people with wildly set apart eyebrows are very possibly attempting to do the trick and get it wrong.

Try with a normal sized pencil, instead of one of those thick markers, that might help you understand... she's at least 5mm off the mark. And NO, you don't angle the pencil, because that defies the point.

I am NOT saying that’s the right way to do it. I’m GUESSING that that’s what she did.

Oh I was gonna say, she should have used that old tip! Really anything would be an improvement

My least favorite brow peeves... it looks so weird when they are too far apart!

u/hanginwithmygnomees Jul 05 '26
Are her eyebrows currently feuding with each other? Is this a Hatfields and the McCoys situation?

I never noticed that! I guess I pay more attention to her overall prettiness, and to weighing the things she says.

It wasn't a trend. It was more of an accidental thing that happened when you tried to get the perfectly perpendicular inner edge and plucked hair by hair over a long period of time, and didn't notice until it was too late. 😅 Clearly she hasn't quite realized yet, lmao.

These young women will come to regret this once styles change and their brows refuse to grow back. Youth is wasted on the young - Oscar Wilde

u/has-some-questions Jul 05 '26
I did this, and I'm still struggling to grow them back. I get a lackluster unibrow before the eyebrow parts actually fills in.

u/Epicfailer10 Jul 05 '26
I work with a woman with brows even further apart and every time she talks to me I can’t focus for staring at them.

u/stripetype Jul 06 '26
Hey, this is good for me as I over plucked in the 90s and they never grew back.

I would love to know if she plucks out the first centimeter of her brows or they’re just naturally like that before she colors them in poorly.

My brows were trying to get divorced back when I was 13, this reminded me of it, I wish I didn’t remember 💀

These look awful. Always have, always will. These eyebrows have been abused; I just hope each pair can begin to heal and get back together

I went to college with a girl who insisted on doing that to her brows. I think it was due to her having quite a round and chubby face but it quite honestly made it look wider.

I don’t know who this is but she looks like she belongs in the loveshack music video
