<p>You guys, I&#39;m obsessed with brows. It&#39;s gotten to the point where I can&#39;t stop staring at pretty brows online, which means that I&#39;m spending a lot of time staring at pictures of Megan Fox.</p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/6a00d8341db04e53ef0133ecbcc16d970b-pi.jpg" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Normal_megan-fox_net_Breakthrough_Of_The_Year_Awards_(24)" border="0" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8341db04e53ef0133ecbcc16d970b " src="http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/6a00d8341db04e53ef0133ecbcc16d970b-800wi.jpg" title="Normal_megan-fox_net_Breakthrough_Of_The_Year_Awards_(24)" /></a> <br /></div><p style="text-align: center;"><em> (Don&#39;t tell me those brows aren&#39;t impressive.)</em></p><p>Of course, that means that I&#39;m obsessed with <strong>my</strong> brows. I&#39;m very particular about how they are done. I don&#39;t like them to be too thin or too short. I know exactly what I want them to look like, so you can imagine how pleasant it is for the brow techs when I sit in their chair (&quot;don&#39;t make them too thin, but not too thick either, oh! And make me look natural but glamorous...&quot;)</p><p>I bit the bullet recently and went to Boston&#39;s top brow maven. I had always wanted to see what all the fuss was about, but she charges an exorbitant fee (four times as much as the next most expensive brow person I&#39;ve gone to) but I figured since I&#39;m so obsessed with brows it would be worth it. It&#39;s not like I spend a fortune on my hair. </p><p>(I get my hair cut about twice a year. <em>Shhh</em>!)</p><p>I was determined to get my money&#39;s worth, so I gave her my very detailed list of what I wanted before I would even sit at her chair. I was sure she would think I was nuts, but she just nodded approvingly. She said she actually appreciated that I cared that much. Then she worked for 45 minutes, and my heart was palpitating the entire time. Was I a sucker for spending so much on my brows? What if I ended up looking permanently angry? (It&#39;s happened before -- some brow ladies think they&#39;re hilarious. They are not.)</p><p>Well, my first brow shaping with Boston&#39;s eyebrow queen was INCREDIBLE. She somehow made my brows look thicker and longer by spending 45 minutes pulling hair out. It was miraculous.</p><p>I was sold.</p><p>The second time I visited her I spent a good ten minutes chatting with her about what I wanted, and once again she worked her magic. Awesome.</p><p>The third time...well, by then I figured she knew what she was doing, so I just sat down and took a little nap while she worked. Then she handed me the mirror, and OHMYGODMYBROWS!</p><p>My brows! They were short, pointy, pencil-thin ghosts of their once glorious selves.</p><p>Right then and there, I resolved to learn how to do my own brows. I was tired of repeating what I wanted, over and over again. The suspense of each eyebrow appointment was just too much for me. So now I take care of things myself.</p><p><a href="http://www.blogher.com/dreaming-perfectly-groomed-brows-heres-how-do-it-yourself" target="_blank">My secret? Stencils. Yes! Stencils!</a></p><p>Links and stuff are at my post at Blogher Style, but suffice it to say -- I&#39;m better off just doing it myself. That way I can call all the time I spend looking at brows online &quot;educational&quot; -- right?</p><p>Right.</p><p></p><p></p>
