I don’t see it nearly as much as I used to, but I still occasionally do: distressingly overplucked eyebrows. It seems to rear its ugly (and I mean ugly) head the worst in girls from my generation and from the one before mine. Teenagers, who, I hate to break it to you, are the ones dictating the next fashion movements, don’t do it, and I’m glad of that. They look cute.
Anyway, from too skinny to waaaaaay to far apart, I think overplucked brows make even beautiful people look creepy, older than their age, and just somehow not right. A prime example is Rachel Weisz. I remember seeing her in The Mummy movies and wondering what in god’s name she was doing to her eyebrows. I was SO glad in more recent years when she grew them back in. Also when she swooped in and nabbed Daniel Craig. Rar.
Rachel was very young in this photo but looks old.
Here she is more recently, and doesn’t she look miles better?
So note to the ladies – don’t overpluck. It’s nasty.
