Eyebrows, am I right?
Never in the history of mankind has there been so much fuss over eyebrows.
Once I did hear that they frame the face. Is that why there is every conceivable grooming product for them? Not only do we have specialized tweezers, (pointy or straight or a funky combination of the two) but we have a plethora of customized razors, gels and other products to keep brows from getting out of hand.
I recently bought a Flawless Brow. When I opened the package, it held a device that resembles a pen lite with a cap. Under the cap was an itty-bitty little round electric razor head. By itty-bitty, I mean about half the size of my pinky nail. Who knew they could make them so small? Not only that, but it lights up like a pen lite so you can see those stray hairs that threaten to bring down civilization as we know it.
It works. It has to. It’s a razor and it cuts hair. It does choke up a bit on longer shards of eyebrow. The directions say it works best on hair that is one quarter inch long or less. Judging the hair length is a bit challenging to me since I use a 10X magnifying mirror. Everything looks like a tree stump. So now I am committed to the brow maintenance regimen that keeps my brows “flawless “.
My eyebrows have very different personalities. Miss Right is mild mannered and stays in the lines. If all eyebrows were like Miss Right, there would bankrupt eyebrow care companies everywhere! Miss Left is a completely different story. It is an entirely rogue eyebrow. It wants to be the rebel in every way. Brush the brow to the left and the hair points down. Brush the strands up and all hell breaks loose. Attempts to corral the wayward feature have been futile until recently. Thank heavens it never took on the caterpillar type quality that older men sport, nor has it attempted to march over and join Miss Right in a show of eyebrow solidarity. Nor has it left the building leaving me to artfully sketched brown rainbows on my face or visit a parlor to have them permanently affixed. But Miss Left is frustrating in her own right.
Enter Wunder2brow. It’s sort of the Clint Eastwood of eyebrow land. It shows up and maintains law and order in a lawless brow. You sort of paint it on like nail polish, then brush it with the enclosed mascara like wand. BOOM! The restless brow hairs line up and lie low. The grays are tinted and sparse spots are covered. Like Magic!! Miss Right gets a dab too. For as good as she is, she has a few gray strands popping up. It’s ok, we can’t be perfect all of the time.
Eyebrow fads are another source of concern. Some fadists insist that they be pencil thin. Plucked to within an inch of their lives. No wonder so many brows decided to quit and never return. Super thin brows leave the wearer looking very surprised by everything! On the other end of the spectrum are the super thick, heavy eyebrows. You know the ones that could get tangled in your bangs and never let go. No, thanks. I choose middle ground on this. A nice medium, brown, well behaved brow is a real goal. There are YouTube channels and websites dedicated to achieving the perfect brow. Really!
Who knew the perfect eyebrow would become a priority in my life?
Makes you “wunder “.
