Most of you prefer heavier eyebrows, but just like hairstyles, makeup shades, and clothing fashions, different shapes and textures of eyebrows go in and out of style over time. In the the '20s and '30s, it was all about thin, dramatic brows with lots of curves. In the '80s, it was all about a bigger-the-better attitude. And then there were the '90s, when brows were so thin, tweezers never got a break. So let's take a peek at some of the most memorable eyebrow styles over decades past. Which era stands out most for you?
Swedish born actress Greta Garbo, née Greta Lovisa Gustafson, was known for her alluring, sensual, and extremely private nature. Before striking it big in both the silent and "talkies" film eras, her first job was in the beauty biz (ah, a girl after Bella's heart) as a lather girl at a local barbershop.
Another early job involved modeling hats, which ironically became one of Garbo's trademark accessories. Her slightly curled, medium length hairstyle and highly arched, rounded eyebrows represented the epitome of 1930s style. Pale, flawless skin and precisely lined matte red lips completed her soulful look.
A breast cancer survivor, Garbo died in relative seclusion in New York City in 1990. Her New York Times obituary read, "Mysterious and aloof, she appealed to both men and women, and she exerted a major influence on women's fashions, hair styles, and makeup."
In fact, her stunning, dramatic look was recognized by The Guinness Book of World Records, having at one time been named the most beautiful woman who ever lived. Not one to fuss much with, well anything, really, she was once quoted as saying, "I live like a monk: with one toothbrush, one cake of soap, and a pot of cream."
