The Time Has Come Once Again for Pencil Thin Eeybrows

Wearing thin: Rihanna models skinny eyebrows on the cover of Sep- tember'southward British Vogue.

We take a breaking fall manner update: British Vogue has spoken, and sparse is in.

Not trunk type -- that would hardly be news. That kind of thin is e'er in, much to my thighs' chagrin.

The skinny here is that skinny eyebrows are dorsum.

After several years of fuller brows being in fashion, it could be fourth dimension to pick upwardly the tweezers, the wax and razor one time again.

Information technology's the decision one comes to when taking a "brows" through BV'south large September manner issue. There'southward the normally radiant Rihanna, but for one time -- to borrow a song chorus -- her look doesn't "work-work-work-work-work."

Although her pare is flawless, her eyes are fierce and she'south wearing a bloom garden on her caput, cantaloupe-colored gloves on her easily, ox-claret-red gloss on her pucker and a hot pinkish bow around her neck, one's eyes go immediately to the pencil-thin brows. And, not even a No. 2 pencil -- the fine-tip mechanical kind.

At least with a pencil, 1 tin can erase mistakes. Not so with brows. As those who have ever overdone it with plucking, shaving or weed-whacking can attest, they don't ever abound back.

Similar me. Born with one naturally bushy brow, which I somewhen tamed and shaped into two, I went a chip crazy with the tweezers dorsum in the mean solar day (when I didn't understand that skinny brows but work on a skinny face). My arches are withal moderately full, merely the ends are sparse to not-existent, so when I remember, I get artistic with brow powder.

Hmm, now that's a plus of the Rihanna look: No brow powder. No brow shaping gel. No brow fiber gel. No brow palettes. No brow brushes. No brow enhancer. No brow primer. No forehead builder. No forehead stencils. No brow shaping scissors. Thinning one's brows could be a pennywise decision. Even if yous look like Pennywise from It.

Non that I use most of that stuff. I believe in bones training -- yanking the occasional wonky stray or gray when ane notices (usually at a stoplight -- yikes, sunlight reveals all!) and combing and filling in as desired. If we want to be trendy, nosotros can modify up cosmetic colors; makeup is temporary and can be removed. Eyebrows, which frame our faces and convey expression, are forever. At least at the rate they abound back -- or don't! -- they might too be. Proceed with whatsoever semi-permanent changes with extreme caution.

For RiRi'south sake, we promise these scrawny clown brows -- which by comparing make early on silver-screen star Marlene Dietrich look similar Brooke Shields -- are the work of a Photoshop shtick and not the work of an actual Schick.

A story on Vogue.co.uk asks,"Would you try the skinny brow trend? Seen on Rihanna with the commencement look of British Vogue'south September issue cover, they have been causing quite a stir. Love them or hate them, they accept been a perennial beauty statement throughout the ages," referencing "the screen sirens of Hollywood's Golden Era," and "the supermodels of the Nineties."

The headline of that story: "Are Razor-Thin Brows Making A Improvement?"

Pluck no, said most people on social media without raising and then much as an eyebrow and while making use of the Flushed Face emoji. Even Flushed Face emoji guy has fuller brows than Rihanna in British Vogue.

"No, no one is that dumb again," responded 1 reader on Facebook.

Said some other, "It can come back all information technology wants. My brows are staying.

Said some other, "Meth Brows? Umm, pass."

But one person was down with the retro skinny forehead -- or at least done with the microbladed, tinted and tattooed brows of now: "Anything is meliorate than those awful drawn on caterpillar eyebrows everybody has now. Yall running around looking like yous have commas and apostrophes on your faces."

Speaking of punctuation, we can't assistance only find that she left the apostrophe out of "you lot." Quick, someone put your eyebrow in that location!
