Share I haven’t done my eyebrows in over a year because of it. By InStyle March 01, 2021 Each product we feature has been independently selected and reviewed by our editorial team.

In eighth grade, my best friend at the time told me I should consider shaving my eyebrows, advice that made me self conscious about them for years, and which I'm very glad I didn't follow. I was obsessed with getting the thin eyebrows that felt like status symbols in the 2000s, but my mom advised me not too. I guess it's true what they say moms know best. Last week I wrote about my tiny lips insecurity so it only felt right to balance it out with my big eyebrow confidence. Basically, I've come a long way since I was 12 (thankfully).
