How to get Brooke Shields Eyebrows

Submitted by Mimi on Wednesday, 11 March 200916 Comments

You may be too demure to pull off big hair or neons but another 80’s inspired trend is far easier to pull off: the Brooke Shields Eyebrows.

It is amazing what difference eyebrows can make to your appearance. A few tweaks here and a few tweaks there and you look like a completely different person. So much more groomed and refined that it’s worth to go through a bit of pain to get them in that condition. However, these days you can forget all about your tweezers and instead let your eyebrows grow in, as bushy, bold brows are back. Going through any editorial magazines is sort of like going through Amazon, bushy eyebrows are everywhere! Ha-ha

How to get the look? Very easy! Tame full brows with a gel or if your brows are uneven and sparse fill them in with a brow pencil that matches the color of your eyebrows. Then finish off by brushing your eyebrows upwards for a bushy effect.

I love the Brook Shields eyebrow look, but it’s quite hard to achieve it on my thin eyebrows. Back in the day I tweezed them a lot and they just never grew back the same way, however the method that I described above makes them look “almost as thick” as Brook’s or Keira Knightly’s.

Do you like the thick eyebrow trend? How do you tame your brows?

I love Brook Shields and I love her thick eyebrows! I think the thick eyebrows work on certain faces better than on others. For example, I think that on my small face thicker eyebrows would look out of balance and overpowering. However, you never know until you try. Although, I don’t think I would have enough patience to go through the re-growth period, without being tempted to pluck away at them. We’ll see…

I love Brooke Shields eyebrows, I think they’re gorgeous! On the up-side my eyebrows never need painful tweaking and trimming (though people always think I use tweezers and shape them, they’re just naturally like that), but they’re also rather pale and thin, kind of wish I had thicker eyebrows like Brooke, but oh well, the grass is always greener on the other side I guess! hehe.

Thanks for your lovely comment! <3

Haha I love Brooke Shields eyebrows, but I may be biased because my eyebrows naturally have a thicker shape and I only tweeze stray hairs here and there.

P.S. I’ve added you to my blogroll!

My Mother used to always tell me how I reminded her of Brook Shields in Blue Lagoon, I adored her on lipstick Jungle and find an uncanny resemble between her and Isabeli Fontana ( my latest header! )

Thanks for the wishes. Here’s to 5 years and more to us both, darling!! xx

oh my gosh this takes me back to my childhood & teens Mimi! i adored Brookes brows in the nineties and still do! They are so sexy to me! I really think over plucked brows can be so unflattering on most people.

I’m relieved and happy to read this. I used to worry a lot. I don’t have to worry anymore.
I used to get my eyebrows tweezed. Did it about 4 times. The 5th time, it got too thin so stopped doing it again. Mom always advised me saying that my eyebrows won’t grow back if I get em tweezed for a long time.
I’m really very happy to read this! Thank you a lot! ^_^
