With Eyebrows, Go Bold

Although summer often brings similar make up trends no matter what the year, every year there are a few trends that may seem shocking at first. However, as the trends catch on they go from something that people scoff at originally, to something so common place that every woman across America does it without thinking. This fashion phenomenon is repeated year after year, and this year is no different.

Take one of the summer's most popular trends: eyebrows. Eyebrows are something that most women spend hours each year plucking, waxing, grooming, and penciling to no end. Eyebrows become an obsession for some women, and they spend time each day grooming their own eyebrows. Many women think large eyebrows are either manly or unsightly, and spend significant amounts of money getting them professionally done, and some even shave them off and use various techniques to pencil them back on in an attempt to control the way they look, and make them as shapely as possible.

Despite these previous trends, there is a new trend this summer that could very well become the next big thing in women's fashion. This new technique is known as "bold" or "defined" eyebrows. Believe it or not, there are runway models this year who are spending money getting their eyebrows filled in to appear larger or dyed so that the eyebrows appear more prominent. At first glance this new trend may seem a little too bold; however, some advocates of this new trend bring up good points about the benefits of having more defined eyebrows.

First this trend does tend to accentuate and draw attention to the woman's eyes, which is something that many women spend a lot of money doing with other makeup products. When women's eyebrows are bolder however, it ensures that people are looking at the upper portion of their face and therefore at their eyes. Second, this trend can add color to a woman's face in a way that seems more natural than using other makeup techniques. If a woman's eyebrows are a strong, bold color, people are more likely to remember the face, and think of the woman as unique. Finally, bigger eyebrows can give a woman's face a completely different look. Many women who feel that their face may appear plain or dull at first glance will be surprised how much of a difference a pair of full eyebrows can make.
