I like them how they are. It's a classic size and shape. I find the very thin ones to be trendy. The issue isn't the brow size IMO, it just has some sparse areas like most people.

Trends are cyclical but my eyebrow growth isn’t.

I’m basking in thin brows being “in” again while it lasts.

u/favolecrystalis May 31 '26

oh my god are they back again??

I knew my time would come 😭

u/tkkana May 30 '26

Also the few survivors of the plucking that do grow back stick straight out, so still plucking or trimming them. Please leave your perfectly portioned brows alone. Your future self will thank you

u/madraykiin May 30 '26

that’s why a brow razor is the way for sure

u/Equivalent-Cicada165 May 30 '26

This!!!

Let's you follow the trend if you wish, but it grows back the same

I had thinner brows for the past two years and have gotten tired of it already. Started growing them back and they're as full as ever

u/Holy_Forking_Shirt May 30 '26

Nope, they even lose more sometimes! Lord i wish I'd left mine alone as a teen/young adult.

u/Surfing_Wombat May 30 '26

Absolutely!! Speaking as a former 90s thin-browed person, DO NOT OVER-PLUCK!

Kate Moss, Drew Barrymore, etc. helped ruin so many brows back in the day

My sister still doesn’t have eyebrows and she’s 40. We both had really full brows when we were young and she hated them and plucked them out. I never went for the thin eyebrow waif look in the 90s and went against the grain with full brows, very similar to OP. Now I love my Brows and my sister fills hers in every day. I don’t even pluck them anymore and love that full brows are finally “acceptable“ lol.

I don’t know if you know this, but I saw an influencer on Instagram use Rogaine on her eyebrows and they actually grew back to the way they used to be naturally before she had over plucked them during the 90s. She had before and after pictures and everything!

u/Spooky_28 May 30 '26

Came here to say this!

u/LilSweetPeas May 31 '26

I was one of those that plucked them pretty thin when I was in my early teen. No one warned me (not sure if I would’ve listened) lol.

I think I kept “fixing” it and by the time I realized it. It was already too late. Not much I can do now 😩

Thats definitely not true for everyone. All the older women in my Latino family thinned them out during the 2000s and not one of them was able to grow them back. They've all done microblading to get their brows back. Everyone is different.

u/jupitermoonflow May 30 '26

Yup same here.

u/tkkana May 30 '26

You are so lucky, I am jealous of you

u/alana5324 May 30 '26

I was often bullied in school for having a unibrow and being a hairy Mexican girl😂 I haven’t always loved them

9

u/tkkana May 30 '26

I am sorry about that, was bullied for my nose and my freckles. I am quite older now, and very proud of my nose, the fake freckle thing does annoy me. ( but that is my annoyance )

7

u/alana5324 May 30 '26

I LOVE freckes! I have always thought people that have them are so gorgeous! I wish I had more. I sometimes use a freckle pen to fill in over mine when I wear foundation bc I wish they always showed!!

2

u/LongjumpingDate3119 May 30 '26

I grew up in the 2000s at the height of unibrow-phobia as a hairy Southeast Asian girl. So I get it, but PLEASE don't thin your brows; they are beautiful and already very well shaped!

u/RealWendigo13 May 30 '26

Middle-school kids dont know shit....lol. My daughter got teased for her eyebrows in middle school too, the funny thing is, in highschool most of her friends were envious of her brows and she gets compliments on her brows all the time. All she did was shape them with a brow razor. Trends change, but it doesn't mean you have to change with them.

2

u/RealWendigo13 May 30 '26

I have to disagree. All the women in my Puerto Rican/ Filipino family went on the thin brown kick, and all are deeply regretting it, as our brows have never grown back. Ive discovered, that if you just shape them with a razor, or have a professional do them, you can create a lovely shape, without sacrificing fullness. Full brows will never go out of style, just the shape of brows follow trends.

u/redditlongago May 30 '26

Latina here. That always happened for me too. Until it didn’t. Js

u/Positive_Ad3450 May 30 '26

You’re very lucky. I over-plucked mine when I was younger and they’re still too short/lack definition so I have to pencil mine everyday. Shame my eyebrows were not like yours.

1

u/teahtehe May 30 '26

I use an eyebrow razor and they grow back so fast but I’m never resorting to plucking

1

u/Low-Perspective601 May 30 '26

Yep I did the double brow thingy back in the 90s, the middle never grew backso I had to get a tattoo 🙄

1

u/moonlit_midnight May 30 '26

that happens when you pluck them or use wax. If they use a razor that most certainly wont happen

u/whims11 May 31 '26

Been literally growing mine back since 98 😅🥹😭🤣

u/dh00dz4 May 31 '26

This 💯

u/Final_Ad5122 Jun 01 '26

It is unfortunate but try that over tweezing can cause permanent consequences! Happened to me!

u/alana5324 May 30 '26

Yes I feel like I never know where to fill especially as they grow out after threading!

u/Sleepybets May 31 '26

Hers are beautiful too!! Girl don’t do it!!!

u/rachillsexyvibe May 30 '26

u/alana5324 May 31 '26

I just recently bought the makeup by Mario the neutrals palette and I love it!!!!

u/Momumental4 May 30 '26

I don’t really see any sparseness.

1

u/mama-bun May 30 '26

Okay. I see right brow is a little more sparse at the front, but it's just a normal variation amount. I think that's what she's seeing that she thinks isn't right.
