So, some people who are really into makeup will play with how they apply their eyebrows in order to achieve a desired effect for that particular look, which can run the gamut from natural to really drawn-in. And some ladies just really like what I call the MAC quasi-drag look, which is a very dark/defined brow. Depending on what you want, you're either trying to draw a shape and fill it in on the skin, or, to look more natural, maybe fill in areas that are a little sparse by lightly filling in the skin, then brushing over the brow hairs to maintain texture. You can use a combination of eyeshadow and a brow pencil, or either alone. Eyebrows, to me, should look natural, and that includes making sure they look like sisters, not twins.
Some unfortunate ladies overpluck and their hairs never quite grow back. Sometimes they fuck this up in their teens and then get in the habit of the really drawn-on marker-ish look. My hairs don't really grow back, but I have a nice natural shape so I don't look too crazy. You gotta be careful with the shape. A poorly chosen shape gets into clown or evil villain territory super quick. And how far apart your eyes are will also play a huge role. Bad eyebrows really fuck up a face, in my opinion. It's like, you can go to Wal-Mart in pajamas, or you can put some damn pants on. You're still at Wal-Mart, but at least you look appropriate.
It is actually really amazing the difference it makes when I spend (literally maybe less than) 20 seconds to "put on my eyebrows" in the morning.

Bahaha. That did genuinely make me laugh. Heh.
I never even realized this was a thing until very recently. I'm still boggling over it, tbh. I may never completely understand.
