Fake Eyebrows
Fake eyebrows
Plural noun: fake eyebrows
A cosmetic solution allowing the wearer avoid looking like the Mona Lisa, without the appearance of 2 fat slugs having been drawn along the upper eye sockets.
There has never been a time in history where you can get away with massive fake eyebrows without anyone turning a head as now. I used to mock girls with massive Groucho Marx eyebrows. Little did I know I would soon be joining their ranks!!
More skilled artists amongst us will just take an eyebrow pencil and carefully draw on a mighty pair. However, having never advanced beyond the stick man, and having been banned from taking O Level art, I would never have been able to have done my previously Madonna-esque (in her True Blue era) eyebrows justice.
The answer? Eyebrow stamps! Admittedly they still take a little bit of practice. The first few times I looked a little bit like a stroke victim with one side of my face decidedly lower than the other. And even when I got them the same height, I still looked like Angry Birds, or at the very least, slightly surprised. But after only a couple of dozen attempts, I mastered the fake eyebrow. To the point where I would actually be complimented on them by the ‘pluck your own eyebrows out and draw them back on, bigger, bolder and better’ generation.
Never again will I mock the drawn on eyebrow. Embrace the fake eyebrow. Exude, darling!
