The bottom line is that you really have to work with a brow's natural shape. There is no.way.in.hell my eyebrows would ever do that, even with the most expert plucking. So they probably had similar natural brows before shaping.
@AtomiClash: A chola would give you a different answer regarding giving eyebrows a different non-natural shape. Naturally, the answer would be, "Use a sharpie, foo'!"
@AtomiClash: my eyebrows go almost straight across, so my facial lady plucks a little arch in, but nothing this extreme. (I have her do it because I am nearsighted and cannot operate tweezers.)
@rednrowdy: @jeepgirl: Try an eyeshadow primer...MAC Paint Pots in Painterly is a fantastic nude for most lighter skin tones and Quite Natural will suit a lot of black and mixed race women.
Great base for any eyeshadow or pencil or a lovely even natural look wore by itself.
@gherkinfiend: You beat me to it!! I love the MAC Paints! I'm black, so I use the tube in structure brown. Works great as a primer and keeps my shadow and liner firmly in place.
Quick, quick! Her arms are already yesterday's news and her eyebrows have been discussed - WHAT OTHER BODY PART OF MICHELLE OBAMA CAN I HYPERFOCUS ON NOW!? I'm so confused!
Well, you know Rush Limbaugh's thinking about that particular body part. Although apparently it's the entire country that's had to grab our ankles and bend over.
This is so crazy. I was literally *just* thinking about Michelle Obama being an "angry black woman"... I was reading the Project Rungay post about her Press Club outfit (stunning), and I remembered this jackass trying to pick me up at a bar a few months ago.
He made the mistake of trying to talk politics with me, and said Obama was okay, but his wife just looked like an "angry black woman". I literally just walked away. I was too angry to even speak.
His reaction was so visceral and therefore sooo racist. I could practically hear the hate and fear in his voice. My blood is boiling even thinking about it.
@FashionShowAtLunch: I'd have punched him first and THEN walked away. WTF does that even mean, "angry black woman"? Way to tar an entire race and gender at the same time.
I do not get people who say they are afraid of Michelle Obama. Where is this fear coming from? They see her out on the White House lawn digging holes in the dirt to plant an organic cucumber and they're shaking in their boots? Call it what it is, people. They're afraid because she's black. And they're not interested in being disabused of their bigotry because it makes them feel better to generalize about a woman who is smarter than them.
@serreca: Yeah, all of a sudden I felt the urge to analyze every aspect of the First Lady's face when it is blown up this big, then I remembered that I loved her and didn't want to go there.
there was a picture of Michelle as a child in one of the Wednesday tabloid things and her eyebrows had a similar arch, if i remember correctly. off to see if i can find it.

Can. only. work. with. what. you. have.
For example, if I were to never pluck a single hair again; I still would not have the volume that Megan Fox has.
Or Selma, or Jessica... check out any recent SJ's.

The problem could be mascara: if you don't use a waterproof one, it will bleed.

Because she's black and speaks her mind, she must be angry.
Haven't they seen her laugh? Hug her husband? Her children?
