Let's face it, brows can make or break a face. As-a-matter of fact. It doesn't matter how sleek your hair is styled or how fierce your makeup is applied, if your brows are a mess, so is your entire look. Hairstyles come and go. Fashions change season-to-season, but did you know that eyebrow styles change with each decade?
The Roaring 20s
Straight, thin and curved downward toward the temple was all the rage. A grease pencil then was used to darken the brow.
