Well, hello there beautiful ladies!  It’s Friday and it’s time to Fight the Frump!  This week we’ll be a-talking about a sadly neglected feature on many of our faces: eyebrows.  I was an eyebrow FAIL until the ripe old age of 31, when I finally realized that I looked like an orangutan and got the nerve up to get those babies waxed.  It changed my life, my look, and my grooming habits forever! Here’s what my hairy monkey eyebrows USED to look like:

Yikes! Look at all that HAIR growing on my eyelid! Why didn’t somebody TELL ME!?

Here’s what my brows look like these days, with an occasional plucking and a once-a-month sugaring (which is like waxing, except not hot, so you don’t burn your face off.)

My advice on brows ladies: Get it done by a professional at LEAST the first time, maybe the second, so you get the idea of what your brow should actually look like. Figuring it out for myself just wasn’t going to happen!  I needed some guidance.  After a few trips to the salon, I can now sugar my own brows and finish up with a little bit of plucking and they look just great. (The sugar product I use can be found at sugarmesmooth.com) If I’d tried that at the get-go, I probably would have ended up having to draw my eyebrows in with a pencil because I am sure I would have ripped them both off entirely!

So, my advice today: Fight the Frump by taking care of those brows! What’s your advice?  Leave a direct link to your post (not your home page) in the Mr. Linky and share your frump-fighting wisdom!
