my eyebrow hell disaster
So, Today's Debacle.
I asked my friend Gurpreet (soon to be heroine to Psychiatry patients) where she gets her eyebrows done and she told me. Today, I went. I put aside my initial reservations (the place and lady running it weren't all that tidy and the towel she wiped me with didn't smell that fresh) and lay down on the couch like she directed and closed my eyes.
When it was over, it looked HORRENDOUS. Guys, my eyebrows are now 1.) extraordinarily skinny, 2.) asymmetrical, 3.) the left one is arched a lot higher than the right such that I look permanently disapproving, 4.) a 3-4cm stretch of the left is significantly threadier than the rest of it.
UGH. The woman herself realised she'd made a big mistake because no sooner had she stopped threading my brows she screamed NEXT, NEXT PERSON PLEASE - and I was like, wait, don't you want me to see it and pay you and say good bye thank you see you next time? And she gave me the mirror. I freaked. And she said, Don't worry, it'll grow back.
Nothing can be done, manipulation-wise, because rectifying too-thin eyebrows is impossible. I'll just have to wait til they grow back and suck it in the meantime.
I've never had to pencil in my own brows before.
Man, Glamour magazine is right. Eyebrows do make the basis of a face. I really really really really hope mine grow back quickly. And that my pencil work does not look entirly fake and theatrical. And that next week isn't too hot so that I don't sweat too much and make my brows run.
Will this be a character building experience, do you reckon? How much character will I acquire? Couldn't I simply have done a trek through the Kalahari instead?
