Are my brows too dramatic?

Someone mentioned that to me today. I really like dramatic brows but am I overdoing it? Do you think softer brows look better?

Lol at the last pic but you can see 'em good without my bangs in the way.

Honest opinion...I think you can work on them on the thickest part just a tiny bit and that might make all the difference.

Honestly...I think you can absolutely pull off a dramatic brow. That's not really anything you should worry about. It's more the /shape/ of the dramatic brow. If I were the one shaping your brows... they're a little thick and heavy where they start toward your nose for my own taste.

If you follow the pencil rule, your brows should start right where the inside corner of your eye is. So...if you go up in a straight line from there, that's where the brow should begin. (I have a tendency to over-twease right here myself! And am currently growing them in a little...)

Second...they're just a little thick and square where they start, and that's probably what the person was seeing that struck them. Since you have room to play if you let the inside part of your brows grow in a bit...for now, you could use a pencil to fill in a little space and experiment with different shapes that your brow could terminate in (like rounding it off a bit...angling it one way or the other, etc). When you find a new shape you like, you can fill them in like that every day until the hair grows in to the new shape.

Another option (or you could do this in combination...) is to take a small amount off of the top inner corners at an angle toward your nose... so that the brow itself appears to angle back down toward the nose in the center, instead of ending in a straight up and down line.

You're blessed with thick beautiful brows...you're lucky you can play with them and make them into whatever you want! Right now, thicker brows are in, too, so you're ahead of the game.

I hope this helps! (and made sense...pm me with ?s if you need to...)

i love your brows but i agree to thin them out just a wee bit at the thicker parts and you'll look like a rock star!

You are looking good, because someone is really looking at you hard. I had to really look to see if they needed any fine tuning. Maybe a hair or two like nc said, but please you are doing a great job. They looked groomed.

I think the shape is pretty good, but whatever you're using to fill them in looks a little harsh. Maybe go for a powder brow shader instead of pencil, or use a slightly fluffy brush to apply it so it doesn't look too sharp?
