Bush Is In

I recently read as a headline for an article (in the form of ‘breaking news’) “Eyebrows Are Back In Fashion!” It made me chuckle. I didn’t realize that such a thing could actually go in and out of fashion. Oh what feeble sheep us humans can be. Not too sure what one does with these body parts when they are “out of fashion”? Lop them off in fear of the shame of being unfashionable? 

I study eyebrows. Gone are the days when I evaluate people on character, shoes or boobs. I’ve become a stuck up snob in the presentation of eyebrows and will judge a character based on how well you groom those bushy puppies above your eyes (men included). 

My snobbery is completely justified however for I own an eyebrow bar (Play Brow Bar) in South Yarra, Melbourne. Eyebrows have become my life.

Now, one conclusion I have so informatively come to via observation, knowledge and the Mr Ever So Knowledgable Google is that ‘bush is in’. One’s mind may instantly divert to the lower regions of the human anatomy. And my household is very adapt to adopting this ‘bush is in’ principle (in the lower region) not however due to a heightened fashion sense, but simply due to complete and utter ‘marriage comfortableness’.

Right enough potty talk. Bush is in. Famous people who I can’t remember the names of, have dictated that this is in fact what you should be doing this season. 

See below for some photoshopped beautiful people (who will only make you feel inferior, over weight and compelled to dedicate your life to the attainment of a Gucci handbag).

Bush, or more eloquently put as ‘fuller brows’ is what one should aim for, not just this season & because it is what is ‘in’ but as a general rule in aid of not looking ridiculous.  Pencil thin is out. And has been out before it even came in, for I don’t think it was ever in. Maybe it was. Maybe I missed that memo. None the less. Thin is out and fat is in (gosh wouldn’t that statement be wonderful if it was true for the rest of the female body. Maybe eyebrows will begin a whole new revolution in the female presentation! Wouldn’t that be smashing).

I have yet to see a face that suits little wee lines posing as eyebrows. It creates a plastic and an overly expressioned face. Or put another way, look tacky. Have a look at Pammy below. She is hot, boobs or no boobs you wouldn't say no. But the brows don't do much for her. 

Pammy....you're a sexy wee chicken but you need a little bush hon

But bush comes with grooming. You can’t just go all out and let those puppies grow free and wild. There is a little care and maintenance involved in achieving this look.

The aim would be to go a groomed version of au natural. The brow should be thick, yet feminine, and then perfectly groomed (preferably through the method of threading) to form a well-defined shape and a gorgeous, lifted arch.

It is recommended that you take you & your hairy wee bush brows in & see an expert in eyebrow shaping. I'm not going to be feeble and plug my eyebrow bar, but I will say go to someone who specializes in threading and knows their stuff. One great way to see if they are any good is look at their brows. Mis-shaped hairy wee puppies equals leave. Nice, groomed, well shaped, suits their 'look' and face shape equals take a seat & let the threading begin.

There is always the added trick after you've had your bush seen to by an expert and that is the magic of filling in the gaps with pencil or brow shadow to give the smoother, more defined look. You can also play around with your basic shape adding a higher arch or what have you. 

More to come another day about the benefits of threading vs other forms of brow hair removal.

Go Play with it!

Peace out kids
