Call it The Case of the Missing Brow.

Eyebrows have slowly but surly disappeared from many high profile runways. At the fall shows, we noticed blocked out brows on a spattering of edgy catwalks. But this season, for Spring 2010, they're practically mainstream (evidence in the gallery, below).

We had to investigate, so we questioned M.A.C Senior Artist Romero Jennings - who is a backstage fixture at fashion week - at a recent StyleList shoot. "Last season, the makeup artists bleached the girl's brows for the shows," he explained. "But, some of the models didn't dye theirs back after, and the became a trend."

According the Jennings, bleached out brows are a relic of the early punk rock era. "It's that punky, junky late 70s, early 80s thing that women did, and many designers were inspired by that look last season and again this season."

To try the browless look sans bleach, Jennings suggests using M.A.C Duo Lash Adhesive on your brows, and going over them with powder foundation in a shade that matches your skin tone.

The best part of this method? With a little soap and water, your eyebrows will be found again.

I’m a working mom so I’m always on the go. Lack of sleep and constant stress meant I had noticeable dark circles under my eyes as well as puffiness and swelling. After using Hydrolyze Under Eye Treatment ( http://Hydrolyze.notlong.com ) for 4 weeks I no longer need to use concealer under my eyes every morning. Friends and colleagues have been telling me I look 10 years younger!

I have always been very afraid of aging, you know, becoming old and useless and unattractive. When I turned 50, I decided to do something about it. I've spent fortunes on face creams and anti-aging serums… but using GenFX is the first time I've tried turning back the clock from the inside out. It's also the last time I'll spend a fortune on face creams! Now everyone says I look 35!

What's with all the spam on this website??!! It's insane. I think the bleached eye-brow thing is not my cup of tea..but of course it doesn't bother me when women do it. I just think your eyebrows effectively help accentuate your facial features when shaped right. Think Mary-Louise Parker, she would look a little weird with bleached eyebrows, right? Here's a pic: http://l.yimg.com/l/tv/us/img/site/12/89/0000041289_20070710161405.jpg
Anyway, good forever and goodbye.

I agree with you about the idiot spammers! WHEN will aol do something about them? Probably never-I sometimes think they pay someone to put the ca-ca on here!

Actually, YOUR post is the first one that isn't spam!

But I DO disagree in one respect about the eyebrow thing...it looks flat out idiotic, and the one picture they have is extremely unattractive. But then most of those poor excuses for models are NOT very attractive-but they don't need to be, they're just a clothes hanger for whatever they are "modeling"-ugh!

I hate that you have to filter through twenty idiots trying to post 'ads'... as many times as we hit 'report', and they are blocked, they simply re-create a web name, and register themselves all over again.
Back to the eyebrows. Does the look seem alien-like to anyone???? And why do the designers go out of their way to make the models look so freakin' ridiculous?

Karen Anne, 10-12-2009, 10:35AM

Gee, I feel I have to "apologize"...there were other pictures, my poor brain must have been so turned off by the "ugliness" that I missed them altogether! ;-p
