this is why you don't play with blades

[afuna]

I... I may have been bored, and accidentally shaved off half my eyebrows?

I mean, just maybe.

What, half of both, or a whole one?

Because one of those is more embarrassing than the other!

[afuna]

Half of both thankfully :D

*is lucky in some ways*

[ex_pippin880]

See if you can start a new fashion trend. :D Funabrow!

[abbylee]

Next time: tweezers. You can still go way overboard, especially because you might get obsessive about making them perfect, but you're less likely to trip and lose half your face <3

[afuna]

Heeeee. My big thing is that I don't know what it's supposed to look like! So I play and then um realize that maybe it's highly visible ._.

[rydra_wong]

I recommend pretending very hard that you did it on purpose and it's a Style Statement.

[madelienegrey]

I do this a lot, too. Which is why one of the few bits of make-up I wear from time to time is brow pencil....

I say work it.

[starlurker]

Hee! I second rydra_wong's comment above. Own it and work it.

I may have shaved both of mine off a long time ago on a dare.

[branchandroot]

*rueful* I have done something quite similar /with/ tweezers; always pull back now and then to check your progress was my lesson. At least they grow back reasonably soon.

[janinedog]

Using a black (or whatever color is appropriate for you) eyeliner pencil works wonders for filling in sparse eyebrows. :)

[pauamma]

NTS: stay away from bored afunas with blades.

[azurelunatic]

Much, much easier to conceal with eyebrow pencil than shaving half your head... >_>

[pinesandmaples]

I've done that before. Good times.

[james]

This is why you knit. So you can do something constructive when you're that bored. *shakes head*

*takes away sharp things*

[pinesandmaples]

Ditto. I get my eyebrows threaded instead. Then someone (who is not me) decides what looks nice and makes my face all purdy without the ouch.

[ironed_orchid]

They'll grow back.

[marahmarie]

You're supposed to pluck an arch 3/4s of the way out from the inside corner of your eye.You can just Google it so I don't risk telling you the wrong way to go, but you have my sympathies...I've cut mine too short, shaved mine too short, and I constantly over-pluck and refuse to give my eyebrows a chance.

[starshadow_rivaulx]

OH NO YOU DID NOT!

*is filled with glee at being able to use the phrase in a comment*

Ai-ya, what a way to learn how to use the eyebrow pencil! Own it, and work it, as others have wisely said...and next time, DO KNIT.

*grins and smooshes*

[afuna]

I have a low threshold of pain for eyebrow threading, unfortunately! The last time I tried, I think I freaked out the person doing my eyebrows because I ended up hunkered down in my seat, practically sobbing.

Which is a shame, because I get damn good eyebrows from threading *G*

[afuna]

Love, you've already promised me that I could trim your beard :-) Too late for you.

[afuna]

Ooh thanks for the tip. Will check out Google for more info :)

[afuna]

Oh yes I di~id ;_;

Yeah, I think that knitting gives me prettier results too *GRIN*

<3

[afuna]

Noooo if you take away my sharp things I can't knit then ;_;

[afuna]

Yes!

Other things that are good: not being in high school or whatever when all this happened *G*

[pauamma]

Oh, I'm not going back on that.(*) I'm worried about you trimming half of it and not finishing the job. :-)

(*) Wait: when did I promise that?

[pauamma]

That sounds like the voice of experience.

[afuna]

Hmm, IIRC it was a long time ago, and I'm not sure if it was your promise to me or my promise to you :)

Context was, I was asking you whether you were required to have a beard, and you said no. The reason that you didn't really shave / trim it that often was because it was a hassle. And then I volunteered :-)

[afuna]

Hee, that is true.

[pauamma]

Hmm. OK. :-)

Back in '00, I was engaged to a nasty piece of work. For one reason or another, I was Annoyed with him, and dealt with same by giving myself a haircut (as he particularly liked my lovely long hair).

The resulting half-shaved head was very Interesting, and while I rather liked the effect, I was wearing a hat at work for the duration.
