Now, whether it be through exhaustion, over-zealous pluckage, or medication which I'm no longer taking, quite a few eyebrows in recent years just gave up and went home. Thus began the search for the perfect eyebrow pencil.
The first one was toooo grey. The second one was tooooo ginger. (Who wants ginger eyebrows? Do ginger people even want ginger eyebrows?) The third one was jusssst right. I think. Sort of eyebrow coloured. The idea is to make people not even notice you have pencilled them.
And then all these bears came home so I ran away.
As a ginger, I'd love to see what I looked like with ginger eyebrows, rather than blonder than blonde or a delicate brown. Do you remember the pencil?
ReplyDeleteHi Alison - there have been more than three but that doesn't fit the story :o)
ReplyDeleteAn awful lot of pencils have a gingery tone that you don't really notice at first. The one I've been using recently (until the one I just bought) was a Rimmel one in "Hazel". Sort of light brownish. But in the light a bit reddish.
Top tip! Next time I'm in superdrug, totally looking out for that. I shall embrace my ginger!!
DeleteI was called Goldilocks when I was a child. Strange, because I was never blonde...
ReplyDeleteI was never called Goldilocks although clearly I was (and still am) blonde...I just used to get OI BLONDIE! OI! BLONDIE! OI! BLONDIE! And so on.
ReplyDeleteYou're lucky. It's easier to pencil in than pluck out. My eyebrows have recently adopted Denis Healey as a role model. I will soon be able to tie them above my head and give myself a face-lift.
ReplyDeleteSorry...laughing out loud at BacktoBodrum's comment. Mine have taken on a mind of their own as I get older. They don't all grow in the same direction which is quite disturbing.
