What is the utility of eyebrows?

Amazing the natural selection process.  Originating form the times when we were living lifestyles more exposed to the weather, they help keep foreign materials from falling in our eyes.  Tree leaves, dust, rain, etc, coming from above us.\n\nTake a look at some of the earlier life forms, Neanderthals for example. see how thick their eye-brows, how deep their eye sockets are.

Yep, I can do that! Can you lift each eyebrow individually? I got that one down too! Or raising each corner of your mouth in smile, individually!  And raising your ears. \n Just takes practice. Lots of practice!!!\n Keep it up and you'll be a master dual blinker!

The way you lift both eyebrows is with a muscle above the browline. If you want to just be able to lift one, you have the stretch the muscle out in between.  I know that sounds weird, but all you have to do is hold one eyebrow with your hand and raise your eyebrows.  Eventually, your face will get used to the separation, and you will be able to life just one.

I'm not aware of any law that says you can't shave your eyebrows. It would look funny, but I'm sure you have your reasons. However, as a 14 year old, you should really listen to your mother. It's a fairly big decision. You may not realize all of the ramifications.

some might say that it's to reduce sweat or to provide protection for our eyes but our eyebrows do that fine, and the eyes don't seem to need the ridges so much  because just a hard covering in that area is enough, there doesn't really need to be a ridge for it to protect. besides if we needed them for that purpose, then surely we must have needed it since we were ape shaped, and if we still needed it just the same, then wouldn't they still be as pronounced as they were then?\n\ni think they are an evolutionary byblow that denotes our ancestry. \nthey probably have more to do with the developing shape of our brains, our birth and the maintenance of optimum conditions for our heads. \n\nthey lack the same definition in our heads that our evolutionary predecessors had. In pre homo sapien man they were much more pronounced, which means to me that we had need for these ridges then: we probably needed that part of our brain more, our environment probably had a hand in it too and maybe even how we physically used that part of our heads, but things have changed now so nature must have recognised that we don't need them anymore, and she's sorting it out by getting rid of it in her own inimitable way. she's so incorrigible isn't she?

There really isn't any good reason to use cosmetics. Think of all the money made from that product, and the money poured into research and advertising. It's a huge money-maker! And we get convinced by the media that makeup is essential, will change our lives in some magical way, make us look like models...\nI have often heard many men say that they hate too much makeup, and don't see the use of it essential at all. Although I also notice that a little makeup can attract a mans glance. Just a  little in moderation, it provides a polished look. Also serves as a self-confidence booster.

Wow, this question gets asked a LOT on here!  Your eyebrows are there to prevent sweat from getting into your eyes.

it means you have very low self esteem. try to get couseling and try new ways to make yourself look better. try switching the type of clothes you wear, new makeup,hairstyles, arch your eyebrows, and/or develop social status with others.  try to be more lively.a good personality will definitely change the way people look at you, because looks are'nt everything. its whats inside that can also do the trick!

I had mine waxed once.  It kinda hurt, but they didn't wax them completely off.  They just waxed off excess to shape them nicely.  I went to a local dept. store salon, and they did it there.  \n\nJust tell them you want your eyebrows waxed and shaped--but not completely taken off.  They'll listen--they can be in danger of losing their job if they don't!

You do something... people react to what you do. \nSome will say nothing (to your face), but secretly question your motives and the appropriateness of your actions. These are the people with the raised eyebrows. (When we ask a question we raise our eyebrows to create a questioning look).\n\nHence, whether the eyebrows are obvious to you or hidden, dealing with a few raised eyebrows refers to dealing with those who  question your actions.

Just use an eyebrow trimmer.

Avon sells a microwave wax. Just like the wax that is used in salons that women have their eyebrows (sometimes a stray hair on the chin) waxed with. I use it for my eyebrows and it works fine.\nJust put a paper towel on the counter and get your supplies ready before your start.

That depends - can you lick your own eyebrows? If not, don't worry about it.

If you are lucky it may grow back in a couple of weeks. By the way,I read in a magazine that it is not advisable to pluck your eyebrows too often, because the plucked hair roots may be completely plucked out and if you are unlucky, no hair may grow back. Its safer to shave, but you must take care to avoid a cut.In fact, a friend of mine confirmed that actually happened to her mother who has to draw her eyebrows after it didnt grow back.

An eyebrow pencil will work...just don't get one that is too dark.  You kind of feather it in toward the natural curve of the eyebrow hairs.  I use a Mary Kay pencil and it works great.  Good luck!
