The 'Scouse Brow'

Okay I officially do not understand this current trend taking over many a woman's face...


The so called 'Scouse brow' is something I hadn't heard much about until the beginning of the year - probably due to TV shows such as 'Desperate Scouse Wives' and 'The Only Way is Essex' where glamour is the most important thing in their lives.



Now I know that this heavy painted eye brow was a favourite of glamour models especially here in Blighty, but for it to hit the mainstream beauty trends is a whole other story - one that should, in my opinion, never have been allowed to manifest itself at all!


I understand the fashions and trends that come along with being a beauty junkie; the full on bushy brow of Madonna in the 80's had women growing out those stray hairs while the 90's had them all over plucking a la Pamela Anderson!  The trends for those funny bits of hair on out faces have always been extreme.  This trend however is one of monstrous proportions.  Literally!!






I do not understand why any woman would draw or tattoo their eyebrows on in this manner.  Eyebrows are surely meant to frame your eyes, complimenting their shape and even changing the look of your face if done correctly.  These things are just plain WRONG!  Remember the mono brow?  Well these may as well join in the middle due to the shape and length of some!


So along with the extreme length and thickness is the colour and the shape of the things... what's with the square shape?  You look like you have fuzzy felt cut-outs stuck to your forehead.  I'm all for crazy hair colours, but brows should not look too fake.  Black or very dark brown brows do not work with blond hair.  Do not do it!!



All in all, the trend for fake just seems to be growing.  Much like these girls eyebrows....!  So what next?  We have the false eye lashes, nails, tan, hair extensions, breast implants or bra inserts, plumped up collagen filled lips and of course the new and not improved eyebrow.  What's next and how false are we going to end up?


And don't forget - it takes a lot of money to look that cheap!!!
