Oh boy, today’s mission is all about getting those ’90s eyebrows! I was super excited to dive into this trend because, let’s be honest, the ’90s had some iconic looks. Angelina Jolie, Britney, Christina. They rocked some great looks, though the eyebrows were sometimes a little… questionable.
Getting Started
First off, I gathered my tools. I needed tweezers, an eyebrow pencil, some brow gel, and a whole lot of courage. I started by looking at some pictures of ’90s icons, and man, those brows were thin! I wasn’t too sure if I was ready to take the plunge with my thick eyebrows, but I was up for the challenge.
Tweezing Time
I took a deep breath and started tweezing. I followed the natural arch of my brows but made them way thinner than I would normally. It felt weird, to be honest. I kept checking the reference photos to make sure I was on the right track. It was a slow process because I didn’t want to overdo it. I tweezed a little, then stepped back to look in the mirror. Then tweezed some more.
Pencil and Gel
Once I was somewhat satisfied with the thinness, I used an eyebrow pencil to fill in any sparse areas. I chose a color that matched my natural brow hair, and I used light strokes to keep it looking natural. It was interesting how much of a difference the shape made to my face. Then, I applied some clear brow gel to set everything in place. This helped to keep the hairs lying flat and neat.
The Final Look
I took a step back to admire my handiwork. Wow, it was definitely a transformation! My face looked so different with these thin, arched brows. It felt like I had traveled back in time. I wasn’t sure if I could pull this off every day, but it was fun to try. It definitely gave me a new appreciation for the bold beauty choices of the ’90s. I took some pictures, of course. Gotta document this experiment!
- Tweeze with caution: Go slow and check your progress often.
- Use a good pencil: It makes a big difference in defining the shape.
- Brow gel is your friend: Keeps those unruly hairs in place.
Overall, it was a fun little project. I don’t think I’ll be rocking ’90s brows every day, but it was a blast to channel my inner Angelina. Maybe I’ll try some other ’90s makeup trends next. Bold eyeshadows, here I come!
