Eye Brows, the history and how to get a GREAT BROW today!

2. Pure Ancient Greek Brows, 800 BC to 146 BC:
The Ancient Greeks put an emphasis on purity and it was reflected in women's beauty rituals. Often times married women would sport a natural look, while those who were unwed would touch up their eyebrows with black incense. A uni-brow was recognized as a beautiful trait — not a reason to run to your salon for an urgent pre-date touch-me-up.

3.  Astute Ancient Roman Brows, 753 BC to 476 AD:
Roman women had more freedom in their beauty practices than the Greeks, but the no-fuss uni-brow was still considered the most desirable characteristic. It was a sign of intelligence and worn by the most beautiful women.

4.  Barely-There Middle Ages Brows, 1066 – 1485:
Medieval women pointed attention to their domed foreheads, a desirable trait of the time (yes, seriously!), by plucking their eyebrows heavily. While skinny, barely-there brows were the standard, during the Elizabethan era, many women dyed their brows in reddish tones as a nod to Queen Elizabeth. Women even shaved the hair on the forehead.

5. Needle-Thin 1920's Brows:During the Roaring Twenties, women used beauty to liberate themselves. Modeling themselves after silent film queen Clara Bow, eyebrows were severely plucked and penciled in thin, straight, and extended beyond the outer corner of the eye. It was the first time commercially-made products were available and flappers went to town — and then hit the town, of course.

6 .Curvature 1930's Brows:
The dark, heavily-tweezed brow trend carried into the 1930's, but Hollywood actresses like Jean Harlow (pictured) and Greta Garbo used more pronounced, curvature arches to add DRAMA.

7. Heavier 1940's Brows:
Brows became thicker in the 1940's as part of a softer, less severe look. Move stars such as Lauren Bacall (pictured) and Grace Kelly sported heavier brows with a prominent arch. What would Bacall's signature expression, "The Look" made by the eye brows

8.  Plentiful 1950's Brows:
Dior’s 'New Look' called for a full face of makeup, which was often topped off by a strong brow with a high arch. The biggest Hollywood stars of the time, Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, and Audrey Hepburn, full, immaculately-shaped brows. To draw attention upwards. LOL

9. Painterly 1960's Brows:
Sophia Loren had the most famous brows and unique styling technique of the 1960's. You might even say her eyebrows were full of secrets. She shaved them off completely, then penciled them in tactfully with short, thread thin strokes that secured a bold, yet seemingly natural look.

12.  1990's Brows:The 1990's had brows of all sizes, but there was still tweezing aplenty. The over plucked look was sported most popularly by Drew Barrymore and Pamela Anderson. Model Kristen McMenamy's career skyrocketed only after she shaved off her eyebrows. I think back and everyone did their own look with the brows.

13. My favorite!  Bold Brow of Today:The bold brow is back, thanks in large part to model-of-the-moment Cara Delevingne and what many are hailing "the power brow." Whether your brows are the real deal or your just getting crafty with brow fillers, the thicker the better. Our tweezers are on hiatus for now, but if history is any indication, it's only a matter of time before they're in high demand once again.
