“Eyebrows on Flick”, a term that many young men and women use to identify how attractive a woman’s eyebrows is defined. The term came from the social media network Vine, a viner by the name Peaches Monroee came up with the phrase.
Many Jacksonian women have different views on what it means to have your eyebrows on fleek. Some prefer to get them waxed, drawn on or even to slightly fill them in. Here at JSU there are tons of eyebrow styles that are showcased on the daily basis.
One of the eyebrow trends that has been set is drawing on the eyebrows. Some are partial to drawing on their eyebrows while others may not.
“Girl if you want to draw them on draw on your eyebrows. It’s all about the arch. Your eyebrows are the standpoint to your face so work them brows honey!” said Cherese Pendelton, senior Mass Communications major from Vicksburg, MS.
Making sure your eyebrows stay on fleek is a task. But before one can determine which eyebrow shape works best for their face type knowing which category your facial structure falls under is needed. For those women with a square face the most flattering eyebrow shape is a softly rounded eyebrow. For those with a round face its important to remember that rounder faces tend to lack definition so an angular dimension creates more defined facial structure so the high arch is the most flattering.
For those who have longer face shapes these women have the advantage of making their eyebrows extend to create more dimensions to their face. It’s important to remember that extending the eyebrows to equally play up there horizontal features. Those bold and drastic eyebrows are not for those with a heart shaped face. There isn’t much that needs to be done for those eyebrows maintenance and grooming is what’s best. An oval shape requires a more sleek and classic brow that is slightly arched. Defining your eyebrow shape and preference is essential for the overall makeup look.
“It’s fine if you know what your are doing but some girls can go overboard. There is nothing wrong with getting your natural eyebrow arched, ” said JaLieya Brown, junior History major from Greenville, Ms.
First step is determining the best shape for your brow. Next, when determining the eyebrow shape it’s important to think about how you want your eyes to be perceived. The arch of the brow, length of the brow and thickness of the brow define the eye area.
At JSU there are many different eyebrow preferences. The drawn on eyebrows are the most common looking eyebrow choice that is seen on the daily basis.
“The girls just draw too much on and it looks fake when they should just lightly fill them in,” said Shawntiana Smith- Harris, senior Foreign language major from San Diego, CA.
Tweezing, waxing and threading can drastically affect the eyebrow if it’s done wrong. Setting the base for the eyebrow is tricky, eyebrows are something that is done more so by trial and error., A woman should get their eyebrows professionally shaped every 3-4 weeks.
The current trend for eyebrows has been set here at JSU. Many follow suit but don’t consider which eyebrow works best for their face type. Fuller and more natural looking brows are more flattering and appeals more with the facial structure. The drawn on eyebrows isn’t for everyone and yet many continue to follow the trend. Remember less is more when it comes to determining the perfect brow.
