If you have thick eyebrows, then you must sit through painful threading sessions ever so often, because a thick brow is such a ‘no-no’. This has been the idea that we’ve all grown up with, but not any more. These celebrities are calling their ‘brow’ shots very differently nowadays. They too have thick brows like many of us, but they boldly refuse to trim them down. Check out these gorgeous photographs of Deepika Padukone, Keira Knightley and Cara Delevigne and you’ll know why.
Deepika Padukone
Brow Statement: Domed and thick
This Bollywood delight has sworn to do everything unusual. When many thought she’d be a badminton player, she took to acting and she’s never let others dictate terms to her ever since. Her mantra: ‘My face, my rules’. While Kajol has had to face a tonne of flak for her bushy brows (unibrow rather!), Deepika remains far from scared. She embraces the shape and of course, turns it into a trend worth following.
Cara Delevingne
Brow Statement: Curvaceous and unkempt
This young British supermodel and actress has stuck to her thick brows, never having made the effort to thin them down. Cara doesn’t believe in the stereotypical arches and rules a whole new category in eyebrow grooming, that was once considered to be ‘untrimmed and ugly’. Well, she loves ‘em bushy and slightly unkempt, and we love her just as much on the ramp.
Keira Knightley
Brow Statement: Arched and neat
Knightley’s her own knight in shining armour. She might have been told by many bloggers to tame those brows, but did she ever pay any heed to them? The answer lies in these gorgeous photographs. She loves them high-arched and sitting pretty, making a loud statement, even if it miffs some self-assumed beauty critics. Keira chooses to please herself over them, clearly!
