I had just gotten my braces off.
My skin wasnt acting up that week.
But something still looked off, and I couldnt live with it: my eyebrows.

They were too thick, too bushy, crowding my entire face.
Our family albums will bear the after effects of my doing forever.
Now influencers like Leandra Medine and actresses likeLily Collinsare featured by brands and publications for their envy-inducing eyebrows.

In some ways, I almost feel like I conned the system.
But its a bittersweet triumph.
What happens when the powers that be decide its no longer hip to have brows like mine again?
Maybe it wont matter, and people will be more comfortable ignoring whatsen voguein the spirit of whats natural.
Im furrowing my brows at the options either way.
