You know,it's true. I've never once tweezed my eyebrows (save to remove a single ingrown hair or something). I've never thought it removed my license to wear eye makeup, even though I don't do it very often.

Your eyebrows are gorgeous!

Thank you :) But really it's just an accident of nature. People have tried to get me to tweeze them before and I'm like "for real? I don't have anything else to do? I'm gonna go over here and do something interesting."

I've stopped plucking my eyebrows a year or two ago; several reasons (not being able to stop once I got going being one of them!).
Also, as I get older and my hair gets greyer, I can use all the darker-coloured elements in my face that I can get.

My mother, after years of plucking, hardly has any eyebrows left.

It took over a year for my eyebrows to get back to normal, but I really like them now; they're *different* from plucked brows.

I like to think of them as brush strokes, as in Japanese (or Chinese, for that matter) calligraphy.
Perhaps (certainly, because of a scar in my right one) not perfectly symmetrical, but perfect for my face none the less.

I had no idea that not fixng your eyebrows meant you weren't supposed to play with eyemakeup! woops.

I started at about 16. I've let them grow in for a break at various times because I tire of the daily maintenance. Left to their own devices I bear a striking resemblance to Sam the Eagle.

I've never plucked my brows, because I have this thing about leaving my body hair alone, mostly. But now I am getting hairs on my chin, and well, I guess that's my limit. So I bought a pair of tweezers. And while I was at it I tried taking them to my brows too, or at least the part in the middle where they try to run together and grow down my nose, 'cause WTF, brows, but I plucked like five hairs and then lost interest, 'cause that shit hurts.
