Eyebrows

I went to a friend's yesterday for a party that a consultant attends to demonstrate different products. This consultant's products were in the facial, anti-aging, and mosturizing arenas . We had a small demonstration of the anti-aging products, lots of great food and then guests could get their makeup done by the cosmetologist that was there. I didn't have my face made up (I don't really wear makeup in the true sense of it) but I had some questions about my eyebrows. She recommended that I fill them to make them a bit more pronounced, and that I get them shaped.

I have never plucked my eyebrows. I have relatively light (in color and hair quantity) brows, and a pretty natural shape to them so I have never seen the need. I usually just brush them to make them look neater and leave the rest to nature. Thing is, I have always been a bit afraid to do them myself because, knowing the perfectionist in me, I figured by the time I was done evening them out over and over again, I would be left with nothing...haha. Everyone, including my sister, has recommended going to have them waxed because then I would see the correct shape and could just do maintenance from there. This is probably good advice, but as much as I am not a makeup person, I am also not much of a salon person either, so I have never gotten around to it.

So last night after I got home from the party, I decided to pluck my eyebrows. I promised myself I would only do strays and just tidy them up a bit. It hurt some and I was red and a bit puffy afterwards, but they do look better and perhaps I can keep them looking like this for a while (therefore putting off the waxing some more...haha).
