A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

The highest point of the arch should be directly over your iris, and (unless you have a specific exaggerated look you are going for), the end of the brow shouldn't extend past the corner of your eye.

As far as thickness of thinness, I think medium is best. Your face is neither very delicate or extremely strong featured, so that would suit.

Origins used to make the BEST auburn eyebrow gel, but not for many years. MAC's is a touch too burgundy but better than brown (for me.)

I tried to walk Cosmo once, as she dashes insanely for freedom at every opportunity (and promptly heads into the bushes) but she was all pancake-cat at the harness.

I would say that brow pencil or powder is best for people who have fill-in issues, but a gel, clear or nearest matching the hair color, is best for most people. It keeps the hairs in place and adds a slight but noticeable definition to the eyes, much like the difference you can barely see with a lip tone matching lippies as opposed to bare lips.

Dude, I applied to work at a makeup counter at Macy's today. Can I get some references from this board?!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I wonder if I overdo my brows. Now I'm paranoid. They're not naturally sparse, or anything.

AM I THAT WOMAN???

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Loki's walking sessions seem to cut down on the whininess.

I tried to harness train Miss Kitty. She had been an indoor/outdoor cat in California but we had to change that to indoor cat here in Colorado. Each time I would put the harness on, she would become a flat cat and refuse to move.

Occasionally she gets out but all she does is roll around on the concrete and is easily ushered back in. I tried to give her the chance to do this yesterday and she sat by the door and gave me the stupid human look.

I doubt it, ita; you don't have to worry about the contrast between head color and brow color, and I've never noticed to harsh a line or color in your photos. To be fair, I haven't been looking. You have a distinctive look, though, between the short, blonded hair and pretty mouth, so you could prolly get away with it.

(I personally am a freak about brows, so I can't really say anything about paying too much attention to them, as I am probably a touch too obsessive about their importance.)

I know someone here has tattooed eyebrows. I keep thinking about it but need to know more. Mine are so sparse and I don't rock the exaggerated look.

Our wings are not tired.

I do, Suzi.

Loki's desire to be OUTSIDE overwhelms the flatcatness. First time I put it on him, I opened the inside door cause he goes nuts scrabbling at the screen, and slipped it on him while he was maniacally trying to get out. There was minimal flatness, mainly when I try tugging him inside.

As a demented experiment, I put it on Devi the other night. To my shock, she didn't flatcat. Annoyed, sure, but no bonding with gravity. Odd, since a collar many years ago had her flat and in a corner.

It took me 20 minutes to figure out HOW to get the harness on Cosmo. Using pictures. I swear, there must be sex swings made for three that are less confusing.

I wish they made hamster balls for cats.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I'm just amused that this paragraph is in the middle of several paragraphs about eyebrow grooming. Like, eyebrows, eyebrows, here's a thing about my cat!, oh, eyebrows, eyebrows, eyebrows...

In other words, a typical Buffista conversation. Which I love.

I wish they made them for humans! I would literally have my personal bubble!
