How to get Bollywood eyebrows

O.K. You heard it here first. Eyebrows are this year’s lips.

Sorry, Angelina. People are tired of looking at people, who look like they showed their plastic surgeon a picture of Daffy Duck and said, “Make me look like her.”

Does anyone have any bread they can toss Brittany?

Know what, Hollywood? You can keep your ballpark frank lips because this year’s celebrity de imitation is Bollywood’s Aishwarya Rai.

 

OK. All her features are worthy of copying, but my God, look at those eyebrows. They’re a work of art. I never thought I would covet someone else’s eyebrows (but I never thought I would sob uncontrollably at the finale of American Idol either, so there you have it).

But the cool thing about Aishwarya’s eyebrows is that you don’t need a plastic surgeon. You just need $7, two minutes and an Indian woman with a spool of thread.

Yes, I’m talking about the centuries’ old hair removal technique known as “eyebrow threading”.  It originated in India, 

 
but is also widely practiced in Afghanistan.

Eyebrow threading involves twisting a piece of thread into a double strand and pulling out a whole row of hair at once (from the follicles), creating a very crisp, clean line, as opposed to tweezing, where only one hair is pulled out at a time and it seems like each hair is on a different schedule and randomly sprouts up like it's part of a crop rotation.

I started getting my eyebrows threaded this year and I LOVE it. I have a bunch of friends who just tried it and are hooked as well.  You have to get it done every two weeks. Yes, it does sting a little, but you get used to it. And it’s well worth it for Aishwarya eyebrows.

Angelina Wholie?

Any beauty blog that pokes a bit of fun at Angelina Jolie is OK in my book! Home wrecker.

Your sense of humor is awesome-it reminds me of, me.

I totally love Aishwarya's look. She's gorgeous! And Angelina's got nothin' on her.

Your blog name makes me laugh, as do your posts.

Thanks, Jenna!

Hilarious blog & all, but I hate it when westerners lump up the rest of the world like you just did...

That "Middle East" photo is of an Afghani woman. The blue bullet-shaped burka is the give-away.

You can't find them in Arab nations.

Afghanistan=ASIA. Afghans are not Arabs/Middle Easterners. They're ASIAN. Neighbours include India, China, & Pakistan.

Thanks for that correction. I've changed it in the post.

Yes that is the way it is done in India...it is called threading and it has to be done quite regularly to maintain the look and the shape of the brows.
