Raise eyebrows, then let them flourish...

After many years of perfecting the delicate nature of women, one has to wonder,"why are women trying to look fragile?" From peticoats to lace trim, soft shades of make-up to pearl necklaces, women are somewhat forced by society to appear to live a life of less strain, a façade of innocence and an image of ladylike perfection. Leave the brute and savage persona of untamed humans to the men. However, an alternative has made its presence into the runways. Very recently, perhaps cultured and released by French fashionistas, was the bold appearance of eyebrows. Always a signature look on men, these bushy eyebrows now have made its way into women crossing gender boundaries, all the while being accepted by major fashion designers worldwide.

Leave it to designers, such as Derek Lam to incorporate thick-browed women in his Fall line for 2006. He masterfully provides the sweet, intoxicating vigor of a woman's femininity and merges the elements of masculinity that will compliment a woman's face. This will give fashion a fresh image of the new woman. Delicate and tantalizing, yet a touch of virility and mystique. The rough edges offer a much needed freshness to the already tainted image of a helpless, fragile woman. How should one go about maintaining this look? Think plentiful but polished. It is important to sustain composure to any wild look. You can wow crowds with looks that break the barriers but not push the envelope. By tweezing your eyebrows to a thin pencil line, you are following the crowd. By leaving a natural line of your eyebrows, you are able to display a face you naturally have, not one that you created. With this look you can rise levels of femininity and balance out specific features that are at their best left in a state of androgeny. By keeping thick-brows, a roman nose or deep black eyelashes, we are able to be recognized by our distinct features; our signature appearance is marked by our subtle imperfections.

So, without hesitation, consider this option to bring out the best. We spend money, time and our patience dealing with what we think are our imperfections when, all along, we should focus on the benefits of our physical features. How we can bring out the natural you.
