Is It OK to Tell a Friend Her Brows are Bad, Bad, Bad?

Thursday November 1, 2007
Years ago, when I was a camp counselor in Colorado, I spent an entire Saturday afternoon contouring the brows of my friends while most of my coworkers were biking the 60-plus miles down the mountain into Ft. Collins. Back then I was OBSESSED with brow maintenance (now I'm sad to admit, I'm more obsessed with chin maintenance) and I lightly offered to fix the brows of all the counselors left behind. It was a blast and everyone admitted they looked fabulous afterward.

I'm a firm believer if you have a *close friend with bushy brows, unibrows, straggly brows or non-existent brows, it's OK to let them know a good tweeze could serve them well. My friend "B" (she said I could tell her story as long as I didn't reveal her name), once informed a friend she had a unibrow, and though surprised at first, the friend later told her, "thank you, thank you, thank you. You have changed my life."

*Think twice before trying this advice on your boss, client or mother-in-law.
