Overplucking??

rawrrawrrawramy · Mar 6, 2008

Hi, so I've recently noticed something weird going on with my eyebrows. I was looking at some photos, and I noticed that my eyebrows were two totally different shapes in the pictures. Like one had been plucked more than the other or something. But when I look in the mirror it looks just fine to me, even and everything. It seems to be just in the pictures... or at least I can't tell it outside of the pics lol... but what are yalls suggestions? Do you think it is just the angle of the camera or what?

It might be the camera. The reason I say that (for example) is because in person I have a slight double chin, and whenever I take a photograph, I end up with 3 chins for some reason and look like a beached whale! It could be some kind of camera lens refraction or something?!

hmm, could you show us a picture so we can see? have you tried combing them upward? maybe there are stray hairs underneath making it look uneven that you can't see just by looking at your brows?

My brows always look drastically different due to the angle of the camera. Try taking a few more photos at different angles and compare them.

I think maybe the only way to know for sure is to pull your hair back and snap a full face pic - take a couple plain old head on.

I know when I'm working on my eyes using my magnifying mirror, I always need to put that mirror down and look into the wall mirror from about 3 feet away to check for symmetry - applies to penciling, plucking and applying shadow.

I think too often we stay stuck right into the mirror and we can't see the overall balance.

Now that said, everyone has two distinctly different brows and two vastly different eyes - so do't get too hung up on the perfection of it, just get them similar. Close enough for jazz, so to speak.

I agree!!
But if you think they're uneven, post a couple of pics for some advice!
