Just Browsing

If eyes are the windows to the soul, then eyebrows are the window drapes to the soul. They define your look, they shape your face, and they're just about the most important thing about you. Maybe that's overstating it. But there's no denying: brows are in. 

Part of the reason? The beautiful Cara Delevingne. Just look at these brows: 

Cara helped start the "bushy brow revolution." Women everywhere are letting their eyebrows go wild. The new prevailing wisdom says: If you've got it, flaunt it. If you don't have it... make it look like you do.

The depressing truth is that we're not all as well-endowed as Cara when it comes to brows. But that doesn't mean we have to be content with what God gave us. There are plenty of ways to redefine your most defining feature. And there are plenty of reasons to do so.

The biggest reason is that your eyebrows really do affect your look, as illustrated in this eye-opening post from Hantastic Beauty on the Importance of Brows. Here are three drawings that are 100% identical, except for the eyebrows. 

It's the same girl, same expression, but three very different vibes. The shape, slant, and size of your brows can dramatically change your appearance. Here's a few more. Same girl, different brows:

YouTube Fashion Celebrity Michelle Phan suggests using skin-toned eyeliner to play around with shaping your eyebrows before you actually do any plucking. Here's a great tutorial on how to groom, shape, and fill in your brows:

Of course, you don't just have to do brows at home. Sometimes they need to be attended to, like right now, in the back of your Uber. Don't worry. We've got you covered. Our Silver Mirror iPhone Case is the perfect accessory for doing makeup and touchups on the go.

What more do you need when there's a mirror on the back of you iPhone? The answer is nothing. You don't need anything else. Except maybe the Gold and Pink Mirror Cases to round out your collection. Anyway...

If you're not stoked to get some banging brows yet, there might be something wrong with you. Or maybe you just need a little inspiration. The Fuck Yeah Pretty Eyebrows Tumblr is a great place to start. There are plenty of fine specimens there to get you geared up about your brows. Just remember- your eyebrows are the drapes over the window to your soul, no one else's. So let your personality shine through. There's no right or wrong here.

OH MY GOD WE TAKE IT BACK. THAT IS WRONG. THAT IS VERY, VERY WRONG.

If you're tempted to follow in that woman's footsteps, we'd like to remind you that there are some great options for getting your eyebrows treated professionally. New York-style Brow Bars are starting to pop up everywhere. It's worth taking a look on Yelp to see what's nearby.

Brows are just too important to ignore. And for all the folks who are stuck looking at your face, they're impossible to ignore. So if it's been a while since you've given much attention to them, take a little time and find the look that fits your style and makes heads turn. Because the last thing that anybody wants to hear is:
