What's Wrong with My Eyebrows?
This must be the tenth time that he has suggested my brows are overplucked or otherwise unstylishly groomed. I've never really done much in response to his remarks, because I personally do not have a problem with my own eyebrow aesthetics; I happen to think my brows look fine. But yesterday, his remarks were even more specific than usual.
He asked if I had been plucking my eyebrows again. I replied that I hadn't performed any more excessive ministrations than usual. He informed me that my eyebrows should be tossed into a dumpster because they do not look right; they are too straight across and too low. He further elaborated that I have rather severe-looking, jutting brow bones and that severity could be softened if I groomed my brows so that the brow line was higher and more arched.
I can understand his perspective, because I DO have rather severe-looking, jutting brow bones. However, as I attempted to point out to him, my overall facial features are rather severe and angular. I just don't have very small, dainty looking features. Some of my features I enjoy (high cheekbones, striking eye color) and some I am not a big fan of (long, crooked, prominent nose). In any case, I feel that to make the most of the features I have, I should emphasize the striking severity of my facial contours rather than try to tone them down. Softening my brow line isn't going to underplay my prominent nose, for example.
He then informed me that I put too much thought into my facial features, which may well be true, but he is the one who started the conversation by expressing a specific game plan for my eyebrows. I was merely responding.
If I did decide to humor him by trying out his recommended eyebrow aesthetic, then I'd have to go through a hairy transitional phase, because before I could pluck my brows into a higher and more archy fashion, I would have to allow them to grow bushier. I'm not a big fan of bushy eyebrows on women.
Maybe I should just shave them all off and start over.
That'll show him some severe, jutting brow bones!What's a woman to do when her husband is an eyebrow Nazi?
