purple brows

I’ve noticed a trend in women’s fashion here pertaining to eyebrows. It is all the rage to tweeze or shave off most of your eyebrows leaving little tiny short lines near the middle of where eyebrows should be. When you leave the house you draw thicker purple lines where eyebrows should be. Some people pencil in the surprised look, others do long and elegant, but most are just prominent purple lines. On the bus downtown I saw the most comical set of eyebrows. The woman had not bothered to get rid of her old ones but instead drew heavy purple lines above and through her original eyebrows. Her old eyebrows were very visible. I do not think I will adopt this trend into my lifestyle as purple wouldn’t really work well with my complexion.
