okay this might be a weird question lol. i have really dark features. everyone thinks im either spanish, greek, or something like italian, but i'm not. my skin tone is very tan, so basically im tan the whole year and black in the summer. i was reading an article about eyebrows & for awhile now noticed that a lot of my friends & just girls in general have pencil thin eyebrows. i pictured myself with them, not good at all. since i have such dark features, small light eyebrows would probably look really bad. my eyebrows aren't really thick & definately not manly, but theyre thicker then a lot of girls that get them done. they aren't sticking out all over, pretty well done actually. i never got them fixed or anything because i truly think i would look bad since my features. plus, my hair is very long, somewhat thick, and straight now. it just wouldn't look right! any ideas or suggestions??
However, it's good to get them groomed every once in awhile. Either at home or in a salon, tweeze stray hairs around & between the eyebrows, trim if necessary, and clean up your arches. (Arch should be natural, not "rainbow" looking, and arch right above your pupil.) Hope that helps. :) [ opinionated06's advice column | Ask opinionated06 A Question ]

When you go to a salon to get them done, they'll wax off the strays and shorten the hairs. This makes them look nice, managed, and still thick.
If you want to do it your self, just take tweezers to all the stray hairs on the bottom. Don't mess with the top; you don't want to mess up your arch. Once you have them to the shape, thickness you want, take a small comb and comb your eyebrows upward towards your forehead. Take scissors and cut off all the long ones.
