Personally I'm horrified by "Instagram" eyebrows. They look too much for anybody. I also noticed that tattoo eyebrows (not talking about microblading) look amazing on some people and terrible on others.
It’s such an art, it would be hard to trust someone to do it! I haven’t heard of anyone with such a reputation that I would trust them to tattoo my face !
Maybe an off-black would have added just enough difference for it work. I love you in black but the camera picked up the two as exactly the same and no light bounce at all!
Number 2 is very true for me. Honestly with having more delicate facial features bushy / unkempt brows really dosent flatter me to well. Thanks for this video 💕
I’m not sure what to do with my brows. I’m light but I feel I need them a thick light blonde. Being a warm blonde is difficult. I don’t know what colors to use.
Most women look angry or always shocked with unnatural overdrawn dark eyebrows, with huge sharp edges and arches. It's particularly bad if they're very light and blonde but use darker pencils. Doesn't help when some also do fillers or lifters to make them even more prominent.
Doing the wrong shape is also a mistake I often see. I'm a teacher off 15, 16 years old girls and they all do their brows in exactly the same shape, like if they would all use the exactly same brow stencil, if it fits them or not. That looks very odd on some of them, because they change the certain shape of their brows totally. Did someone see that as well? Great video, as always 👍🏻😘💕
Yea but we should give 15/16 year old girls a bit of a break when it comes to make-up. They tend to be more sensitive to peer pressure, and it takes time to figure out what works for you. I'd argue most of us who've started wearing make-up in our teens wouldn't agree with the stylistic choices we made when we were 15/16.
@@DoraM12 for sure! U all should have seen my eyeliner when I was 15. There were no gel or liquid liner. We lit cheap Maybelline black pencils with a lighter to melt it before rimming the eyes.
Hi, Aly. I'm amazed by your capacity to explain for us in a very simple and respectful way every aspect of beauty. It's a challenge for me to respect and accept my natural beauty, because mass midia is always creating "needs" for us to change the way we are. Thanks for your research and teaching! Kisses from Brazil!
My best friend lives in Sao Paolo and I in Toronto; we meet somewhere at least once a year, so greetings from Toronto! Aly I believe is in Russia, so we are really global in an excellent way. She is a brilliant young woman indeed!! Best wishes.
I really want to compliment you on the way you emphasise the concept of harmony, which I think is quite difficult to do, especially talking about appearance. I also appreciate you not setting out any rigid rules (which may be what some people expect by default as this is what we are used to, unfortunately) but rather teaching us to entertain multiple vantage points and pick what's right for the given individual. This is very refreshing! You also have a very respectful and yet passionate tone to your commentary that makes watching your content even more pleasant Loving your current look, you have a very good taste (your choice of examples photos is also excellent) and you really do as you preach! Thank you and all the best in the future x
I genuinely think everyone naturally has the perfect brow shape and size for their face. I noticed that Naturals tend to have very straight eyebrows, and they tend to be straight but a bit curved on Soft Naturals like me, and straight but a bit angular on Flamboyant Naturals. I don’t think that’s a coincidence!
I need to disagree :( i naturally have very thick brows, mix with my face bones ... I looked like a man. Now i take care of them and i feel and look way more better, more feminine, so if you blessed by nature, i'm jealous, but i think a lot of people have problem like me :(
@@katemate8192 for me it's the opposite. I look like my brows got burnt because of the strange irregular shape and blondish color. Because of my pudgy face a bit of drawing on there is much needed. Not like those yucky drawn tadpoles though.
I also have to disagree with this. Making my brows appropriate shape has made me more attractive than anything else. I had huge bushy brows. Hated them, gave me masculine look...
@@AlyonaY Lisa Eldridge made a cool video a while back comparing Korean makeup trends side by side with Western trends, I think it's called "East Meets West", you could check that out!
Alyona Yarushina korean makeup involves making people look much younger and softer. Straight brows, white skin, blushed cheeks and gradient lips. Type 메이크업 ( makeup in korean) into UA-cam search bar to get lots of tutorials x
I love how you appreciate every type of face, every kind of bone structure, it shows in the way you speak. I feel like if more people watched your videos the less they would feel the need to get cosmetic surgery, because they would appreciate their own uniqueness.
You just blew me away!!! I have been watching this channel of yours for a few years. I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD SUCH AN AMAZING VOCAL SIDE!! New sub over on your music channel! 🌸✨ You are amazing ✨
I recently grew my eyebrows out and have no idea what to do with them now... my makeup has changed dramatically due to less lid space but I’m worried to pluck them at all and ruin them completely. Any advice for a fellow hairy girl😂
I truly believe Mother Nature knows what she's doing. For the longest time I tried to find the perfect eyebrows shape for my face, until I got very sick and bed ridden for a few weeks. The last thing on my mind were my eyebrows so they grew and became quite bushy for a while, but after 2 months they turned out perfect. After 25 years of over plucking my eyebrows and following all the trends possible, turned out what suits me the best is to leave them the f*** alone.
I tried your tutorial for French makeup and it’s been a LIFE CHANGER! For this hooded eyed girl. My eyes now look more open and brighter with that technique. You’re a aesthetics genius! A true artist!
I'm glad I never messed around with my brows so that now in my 50s, I still have my natural eyebrow shape which is fairly thin & straight. I only pluck underneath very slightly to even out arch, fill in with taupe crayon & brush. 😀
I love how you are basically saying "there is no ONE standard of beauty, because everyone is different and beautiful in their own way". I think it's very healthy for women and girls to hear a message like that. :)
Brooke Shields and Lily Collins look good with thick eyebrows. Some others who draw them in/ microblade...not so much. I have medium eyebrows( I thought they were thick but no) and I shape them a little but use very minimal eyebrow make up. I hate severe brows.
Thank you! For some time I followed some beauty channels and they were all the same - applying a huge amount of different products and trying to achieve the same standard result (eyebrows - thick, eyelashes - dramatic, cheekbones - prominent, lips - full and so on) and I felt like I need to look like that too and was trying to buy all those products and use them on daily basis. Now I understand that many of those vlogs teach not how to be beautiful but instead how to fit the instagram beauty standards. Your videos made me reevaluate many things and appreciate my natural looks more. Thank you so much!
Love that you specify that it’s what looks best on your face, not following trends! I also love how you show the celebrity examples, but I think it would be so helpful if you showed examples of everyday people. Maybe if you ask your subscribers to submit photos!
As someone with "delicate bones" I've noticed defining the brow and concealing it slightly on the bottom to get rid of some extra thickness works extremely well and is something I do when I don't have time to pluck them (as my brows are on the medium thickness side)
@tt uwu I wish I could tell my freshman/sophomore self to NOT believe Glamour Magazine and over pluck my brows :( they didn't really grow back. I was born with (what felt to me like) two huge tarantula brows and I felt so conspicuous. I need to time-travel and remedy that. I also would floss daily :)
I love how you get straight to the point in all your videos! It’s informative and explained in a direct and clear way, it’s like a breath of fresh air.
Hi Aly! Would you ever consider doing a Kibbe body typing service for a fee? I've watched all of your videos and still am confused about my body type. I've found other people who do this service online, but I'd love to support you because of all the work you do for us! Love your channels! You have such a keen eye and perspective.
I have bushy eyebrows naturally, but being a borderline gamine-soft gamine my facial features are quite small and delicate, which really makes me like them when they are quite a bit thinner and finetuned than they naturally are. Otherwise it's just: "eyebrow".
Gitte Van de velde Finer features w/a naturally thicker eyebrow sounds very “Audrey Hepburn” & she was one of the most beautiful women in the world! But you’re lucky that your face may also be able to accommodate a thinner brow too!👍🏻
@@lgempet2869 I do not pluck them until they're pencil thin, though. I like bushy brows, but my 'too much' as concentrated on the ends of my brows, they aren't nicely full at the beginning, but at the end/in the middle. Without doing anythign to them they're brown caterpillars. I pluck the end and middle quite a bit but leave the hairs near the middle of my face alone.
Aly, you are the only youtuber who understands the art of beauty. Many beauty gurus that wears the Instagram look don't understand that. Hense the reason they mask their face with pounds of makeup. It does not "inhance" their beauty at all. They're literally wearing a mask. They're practically changing their face.
I also think eye size plays a role in how thick you should have your brows. Thick eyebrows with small eyes just make your eyes look smaller. A few months ago I noticed my natural big dark brows were in contrast with my face. It seemed to overpower my face, esp my small eyes so I tried to thin them out a bit and it worked!
I don't know if you'll ever see this but I'm new to your channel, I've watched 3 videos so far and I love how you talk about human beauty ❤️, totally makes me feel better with myself!
I disagree with the measuring method. My nose is very wide, and when I measured how far apart my brows should be, the result was too far apart. I grew that middle bit in about 5° from my nose and I got a much more natural, softer look. I'm not sure what faces look best with this look, I have a large forehead and dramatic angles in my face. But I'm never tweezing so far apart again because when I look at old photos I think I look like an alien :x
There's room to play here. Wide set brows give the illusion of wider set eyes, which could look good if eyes are very close together. But yeah, it could make one's nose look wider too. The opposite would be true too. If one's eyes are really far apart having a smaller space between eyebrows could give more visual harmony to the face, etc.
I am exactly the same My nose is super wide and my brows are naturally quite bushy but if i plug them too far appart it looks sooo weird so i just let them be ....and it looks natural becoz that's what my face is supposed to be so I'm not fighting it:)
Also I love your channel because I finally found a place where just the principles are explained. It's like give a girl a fish and she can eat for a day, teach a girl to fish she can eat forever.
Personally, I just trim stray hairs in my eyebrows, I don't try to thin them. But, I've seen women who actually were using thick, black magic markers on their eyebrows to get that thick look, and it was difficult to see anything BUT their eyebrows on their face, it was so extreme. Just as disconcerting is when I've seen women, who look like they shave their eyebrows, then draw a pencil thin line in it's place.
I have always just filled in my brows with a little eyeshadow in a lighter shade than my hair color. It works perfectly, and I’ve always thought it unnecessary to use eyebrow pencils, wax, etc. Thank you for mentioning that! Love your channel! ❤️
The tail of the brow!! That is so true!! I feel in the trend of having more natural/fuller brows the tail gets completely forgotten as part of a flattering form, often even elongated and overdrawn, but you are SO right!!!
So true that you said about thick/thinner brows for different face types. Being one of the natural types, I opt for slightly thicker brows. But even if I go just 1-2 mm thicker, my face looks rough and more muscular. And it makes me upset that a lot of brow stylists can make brows of a great shape and a beautiful colour, but these trendy instagramish things just won't fit you face :(
The problem with using eyeshadow to color in and mesh with our eyebrows is they don't last long. I use to do that. And I get oily and get easily sweaty in my face too. So the eyeshadow wouldn't last long on my eyebrows.
My eyebrows will always and forever look the same. There not bushy nor thin...I say just right..I feel and believe it fits my bone structure perfect...I truly love this video ty for sharing
I disagree with the 3rd one. This rule is too general, it is a good start, but also must be matched to the face structure and personal preferences. "Long eyebrows" are difficult, that's true, but it doesn't mean that they can't look good and that they just must be trimmed to the 'pencil triangle'. The whole problem is that most people get really so used to the eyebrow fashion from the time when they grew up that it's hard to see the appeal of other styles. Many people say that the brow that is long 'closes the eye' and drags it down. But it may just as well frame it nicely and compliment the bone structure of the temples.
You knew the 80s were truly over when Drew Barrymore overplucked her eyebrows in 1993. That moment had started a worldwide eyebrow massacre that claimed billions of eyebrows. Then 20 years later Cara Delevingne went viral, and millions of desperate women felt the urge to resurrect their eyebrows beyond 80's wildest dreams.
One thing that is so strange to me is how some people (like Jeffrey Star) look great even with no or bleached brows whereas others look sick. I think it has something to do with the brow bone. If it's heavy, you can get a suggestion of eyebrows even with no brows.
Thanks so much! That is great advice. I appreciate a more natural approach to the brows as well. I love your content as well as your positive upbeat personality!
Great tips! You are so observant about what suits different people. I like how thoroughly you explain things. Photo examples are great. Would love more Kibbe videos!
I learned how to pluck my eyebrows from one of your videos and ever since I've started I feel so much prettier. I look almost glamorous without any makeup needed. You're right in how eyebrows can make or break a look
Hallelujah, someone finally said it! I left my country when brows were not a thing, then came back and I was shocked by all of these girls with harsh eyebrows.. still going strong lol
I think Aly was saying that whatever looks good for you is exactly right. I personally am glad to see the end of the artificial brow on Instagram; and only very young women can get away with it; it's like have a removeable tatoo. I was born in France and through experience, if you are going to go bed with someone, what kind of shock are they going to have when you both wake up? So I artfully stay natural, which is also a bit tricky but comfortable. Don't follow those trends!!!!! You are beautiful: start from there and enhance the way you look as needed. If your eyebrows need more definition -- think of Marlene Dietrich and Garbo -- you can do anything, and if your eyebrows are an encumbrance, you can redefine everything. Being well in one's own skin -- a French idiom; we should all feel like that. Great comment, tx
@@evelynbaron2004 I think the person ppl are willing to get intimate with will see them without makeup first since they have to get to know each other first. As for hookups, if someone is just interested in the body, then they shouldn't be bothered by how much makeup the partner wears. After all, they got intimate without even getting to know the person more.
I’ve never thought much about brow trends much. I lost most of my brows to chemo. They never grew back the way they were before. Now I’ve gone through menopause and have even less brow than before. I do what I can following the ‘rules’ you mentioned - inner corner of the eye, thought the iris, and outer corner of the eye. But I’ve never been attracted to fake-looking brows. I don’t know how women pull off that look. Thank for the video.
I do tend to agree with you! A lot of women simply have softer brows, and that's what looks best on them. I myself plucked mine from when I was thirteen, and at the time I had sparser, diffused brows... but now, at twenty seven, I've grown them out over the last few years, and finally, now I don't really touch them much, and it turns out I grew into my mother and brother's super bushy brows without realizing it! Really, DRAMATICALLY thicker! And an entirely different ahape, with the heaviest part at the arch! Something I'd never have designed for myself, but better than! I'd recommend leaving your brows alone for a few months to anyone wanting to know what their ideal brows are like. Of course, a few tweaks can make one look younger or chicer or whatnot, but for the most part, what occurs naturLly is what looks perfectly right :)
This is a real beauty influencer. Instead of setting high end standards and making me feel insecure, you make me feel a little better about myself Thank you so much gurl ❤️
I think you should make a video about your favorite and least favorite trends of 2019. It would be interesting to see your take on them. ~ Love your videos btw ~
My brows are black but are sparce and have bald spots, but when i slightly fill them in with a brow pencil or eyeshadow, they look too thick and crazy. But when i use a lighter shadow, it looks more natural
Yes thank you. Having eyebrows set to trends isn't always what's best for individual faces. For example I'm very small but also very hairy, I remove most of it, but still have pretty bushy eyebrows and get compliments a lot on how everything I do to my skin and hair suits me.
Hi Aly!I will never understand this trend of overdone brows;I see some girls with small faces doing these enormous brows that make their face look even smaller;I honestly prefere to leave them natural,just a little more defined;sometimes I even plug them from the inside to make them look more like "baby brows";practically I am doing the exact opposite😂,but for me it works.Love your channel💖
This is great & I have really noticed this with myself - bows make the biggest difference for me to create brews since to have a larger face & naturally light/thin brows.
Wow that Rihanna example made it very clear. What a difference.. can definitly see the connection to Kibbe and brows. Ps. It's such a pleasure to listen to you. I was already interested in beauty, make up etc. But you can make anything interesting and teach people! I also love that you are self taught. That makes it more honest & pure in my opinion.
I've felt insecure about my eyebrows and I do get the extra growth below and to some degree above the brows themselves; seeing you explain the weight balance for your face makes so much sense and I can't thank you enough. Love your channel overall and I always look forwards to more!
Hey Aly, love your videos, so clear and precise. 😍 In this video you said , 'Always check, there are many rules that can be broken', best advice ever! So true.😄 Love your look in this video. I stopped doing my eyebrows, because they look good in photos when not threaded. Of course, after my initial threading the shape has stuck a bit, which was a blessing, but other than that I don't do much to my brows. The next time I do, I'll keep your suggestions about reducing ends of the eye brows according to the nose-eye rule in mind and try them!🤗
The face shape description was especially helpful, and in relation to Kibbe types makes total sense. I have naturally bushier eyebrows (and a lot of hair in general, both on my body and head) and have been typed as a SG. I definitely look better when my brows are trimmed and neat (matches the smaller features of my face) but because of my natural hairiness I look best when they aren't thin or super precise. It's why I'm glad I never got into the microblading, pretty sure I'd end up looking like Groucho Marx. 🤣
I consume a lot of content around the science of beauty and you have some of the most helpful and easy to follow information I have seen. Thank you so much! I’d love to see you do a few videos where you have your viewers send in their photos and you can analyze and make recommendations for them. I know I would ✋🏻
Hi Aly i am considered a soft classic with few natural characteristics. I wish u could make a video on how we can mix pieces from other body types nd not look over done. Thanks
Same here! When I do make up, hair clothes etc in a purely classic style I am in danger of looking a bit old-fashioned and even mummy. But if I head in the direction of a Natural I look OK, but not complete somehow... a bit too undone. I don’t have any of the musculature of a natural, but I’m 5 ft 8 in, which seems too tall for a pure Classic. It seems to me that the closest I get to a good look is what I call ‘edgy classic’. Still exploring and I second how helpful it would be to get tips on how to ‘cross-dress’, as it were!
@@annamacm4063 hi! What I do is mixing just one edgier piece into classic look and that makes me look fresh and still very well put together, but not like an older lady (when I use only super classic things I start looking like I'm much older than I am). Just tried these things in front of the mirror and it worked as magic, I am classic (I guess a bit soft classic, cos of more flesh on my body).
I have always been so interested in anthropology without knowing that it was called antropology. I always would search things up like " physical appearance of____ people" because I just found it so interesting and I only recently found out what it was called. Idk, just thought about it when she mentioned it lol
@Sapphire Sky lol what? biologically, there aren't even different human races. it's literally a societal construct. not saying it's not relevant in that sense, but putting people in broad racial categories for science makes absolutely no sense and that's a fact.
Youre top of the bill when it comes to looks and make up. I really thankfull for your vids it help me a lot. I have five scars in my face but with youre advice i see nothing at all so happy
I just went and shortened the ends of my brows. Looks good, but I still feel they're somehow heavy. I have kind of hooded eyes. Wonder if my eyes will lift or look heavier if I take off some thickness.. but I'm also naturally hairy so I don't want to take off too much and look unnatural
She's so right, especially about #3 as her last point -- it makes the face instantly look younger to not have the outer ends of the brows go so far down and over -- or "out." Shortening & raising the ends that TINY bit changes the look of the entire face & makes heavier eye makeup not nearly as necessary to "brighten" your face's overall mood or look. It sounds almost too scientific -- but it's more like an art. She's wonderfully analytical in her artistry.
I just gotta say that how important eyebrows are in beauty stresses me out because, because, I have a disorder where I pull out hair. So lmao. I try but nope. I've gotten pretty good at drawing them on though.
A mistake I often see (mostly in younger girls) is those who need to pluck between their brows make the gap between the eyebrows too wide and it looks unnatural. Sometimes it can draw your attention right to the spot they were trying to make inconspicuous.
I see too many younger women who are brow victims. Their brows look like you could peel them off - solid dark color, too precise outlines. Men call them clown brows
Hi Aly, I watch your videos because they are so beautifully produced and you impart so much doable information; thank you! Regarding brows. My Dad was born in 1908 in a small village in Serbia, and after the war immigrated to Canada, was already a qualified architect and made a lot of money before succumbing to Alzheimers in his very late '70s. He was 50 when I was born and I inherited his eyebrows, very much like Sean Connery, and still consider them my best feature. I tame them; they frame my face, and although I don't have striking bone structure, through the years my skin is in good shape and although we all yearn for the days of our youth, I would not go back and re-live my life again. I have earned my crows' feet etc. Being healthy is now really about health and much less about vanity. I love your videos when you do makeup for your mom; I did the same for my mother, Eva, who really was beautiful, and didn't need too much help. As you can see, I was lucky in my parents who taught me to reach out to the wider world. I wish you all the best in your music and all your creative endeavours; you are a brilliant lovable person.

I realize it suits me light brows. It made me appear angry with those trendy dark brows.
Most women look angry or always shocked with unnatural overdrawn dark eyebrows, with huge sharp edges and arches. It's particularly bad if they're very light and blonde but use darker pencils. Doesn't help when some also do fillers or lifters to make them even more prominent.

Doing the wrong shape is also a mistake I often see. I'm a teacher off 15, 16 years old girls and they all do their brows in exactly the same shape, like if they would all use the exactly same brow stencil, if it fits them or not. That looks very odd on some of them, because they change the certain shape of their brows totally. Did someone see that as well? Great video, as always 👍🏻😘💕
Worst thing is that they actually sell brow stencils on stores like Sephora 😩 it's not flattering at all and doesn't fit most people's proportions
As a 17 year old I’ve seen some Instagram brows that look great and some and a lot that look like they are trying to do the square root of their eyes

Not mine. Dark and bushy with a unibrow on a soft face. :(
I also have to disagree with this. Making my brows appropriate shape has made me more attractive than anything else. I had huge bushy brows. Hated them, gave me masculine look...
What about all the people that have basically no eyebrows? 😂 We definitely need to do something eyebrow less face look weird.
Would you try Korean beauty like you did with the Instagram makeup?
I'm still waiting for it. 💕🌵
Lyn I would love to. But is there a certain Korean makeup techniques? Certain videos?
@@AlyonaY There is! There's a lot of videos comparing western techniques to Korean ones, it's very interesting.
@@AlyonaY Lisa Eldridge made a cool video a while back comparing Korean makeup trends side by side with Western trends, I think it's called "East Meets West", you could check that out!
Alyona Yarushina korean makeup involves making people look much younger and softer. Straight brows, white skin, blushed cheeks and gradient lips. Type 메이크업 ( makeup in korean) into UA-cam search bar to get lots of tutorials x
I love how you appreciate every type of face, every kind of bone structure, it shows in the way you speak. I feel like if more people watched your videos the less they would feel the need to get cosmetic surgery, because they would appreciate their own uniqueness.
So true 💯
The way she talks about it reminds me of John MacLaine
WELCOME TO my MUSIC channel: ua-cam.com/channels/6w64Vo1yb1djDnvJfXHv-Q.html
I love your covers, you are a great singer Ally 💗
You just blew me away!!! I have been watching this channel of yours for a few years. I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD SUCH AN AMAZING VOCAL SIDE!! New sub over on your music channel! 🌸✨ You are amazing ✨
Aly Art please😀 make a eyebrows for kibbe types video.
Aly Art how can you help me finding my body and face shape ? Do you offer this kinda service ?
She is so incredibly brilliant. How does she not have more followers?!
Totally agree with your opinion. I've never followed trend blindlessly, always tried to think if it suit me. It's all about balance in beauty
💯
Your level of expertise is just as good as Wayne Goss. You deserve million subs and more
I recently grew my eyebrows out and have no idea what to do with them now... my makeup has changed dramatically due to less lid space but I’m worried to pluck them at all and ruin them completely. Any advice for a fellow hairy girl😂
Sara K I love you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is late, but you need to draw them in a shape you'd see fit, then pluck the excess. Don't pluck with no makeup on them "cause you'll over do it.
I truly believe Mother Nature knows what she's doing. For the longest time I tried to find the perfect eyebrows shape for my face, until I got very sick and bed ridden for a few weeks. The last thing on my mind were my eyebrows so they grew and became quite bushy for a while, but after 2 months they turned out perfect. After 25 years of over plucking my eyebrows and following all the trends possible, turned out what suits me the best is to leave them the f*** alone.
I tried your tutorial for French makeup and it’s been a LIFE CHANGER! For this hooded eyed girl. My eyes now look more open and brighter with that technique. You’re a aesthetics genius! A true artist!
I love how she gets straight into the video. ♥️ 👍🏼 😊
This makes so much sense! I have a very blunt jaw and lips and when I stopped plucking as much it felt like my face changed!
I'm glad I never messed around with my brows so that now in my 50s, I still have my natural eyebrow shape which is fairly thin & straight. I only pluck underneath very slightly to even out arch, fill in with taupe crayon & brush. 😀
I've never plucked my brows. The just naturally thin with age.
I love how you are basically saying "there is no ONE standard of beauty, because everyone is different and beautiful in their own way". I think it's very healthy for women and girls to hear a message like that. :)
Brooke Shields and Lily Collins look good with thick eyebrows. Some others who draw them in/ microblade...not so much. I have medium eyebrows( I thought they were thick but no) and I shape them a little but use very minimal eyebrow make up. I hate severe brows.
Thank you! For some time I followed some beauty channels and they were all the same - applying a huge amount of different products and trying to achieve the same standard result (eyebrows - thick, eyelashes - dramatic, cheekbones - prominent, lips - full and so on) and I felt like I need to look like that too and was trying to buy all those products and use them on daily basis. Now I understand that many of those vlogs teach not how to be beautiful but instead how to fit the instagram beauty standards. Your videos made me reevaluate many things and appreciate my natural looks more. Thank you so much!
Love that you specify that it’s what looks best on your face, not following trends!
I also love how you show the celebrity examples, but I think it would be so helpful if you showed examples of everyday people. Maybe if you ask your subscribers to submit photos!
Love your videos. Love your look. You’re so informative and beautiful.
I love your look here. I also really appreciate the plain background and no background music 😊
Totally agree. brows are way over done today. you are the most astute make up guru on UA-cam with a lot of common sense and a universal view
As someone with "delicate bones" I've noticed defining the brow and concealing it slightly on the bottom to get rid of some extra thickness works extremely well and is something I do when I don't have time to pluck them (as my brows are on the medium thickness side)
Man I wish I could tell my freshman/sophomore self that thick straight brows were too intense for my face 😭💀💀
NCTzen?
My MINIATURE Life yes 🌱!!
@tt uwu I wish I could tell my freshman/sophomore self to NOT believe Glamour Magazine and over pluck my brows :( they didn't really grow back. I was born with (what felt to me like) two huge tarantula brows and I felt so conspicuous. I need to time-travel and remedy that. I also would floss daily :)
A lot of the time, middle age to older women's eyebrows fall out and stop growing. It's not always that they over pluck.
I love how you get straight to the point in all your videos! It’s informative and explained in a direct and clear way, it’s like a breath of fresh air.
Hi Aly! Would you ever consider doing a Kibbe body typing service for a fee? I've watched all of your videos and still am confused about my body type. I've found other people who do this service online, but I'd love to support you because of all the work you do for us! Love your channels! You have such a keen eye and perspective.
This.
@@valentinaafk that too!
I love it when you talk about your mom!! It’s the sweetest thing ever 😭💕
I think everyone should just accept their natural brow thickness and stop trying to be something else 🤷🏼♀️
Yeah but how would you sell unnecessary products if people are happy with how they look? 🙃😂
SEH Music looool
But my bushy brows don’t go with my face
But my eyebrows are too light and sparse. I don't over due them, just touch them up lightly.
I feel that way too
I can just keep on listening to you! So articulate and calming to the ears!!!no blabbering,no overacting.. just precise and elegant❤
About the length of the brow... amazing! I never thought about it, and it makes sense! Absolutely does! Tks for the amazing video!
This channel is so underrated
Basically, don’t just blindly follow a trend. Go for what works for you and for your face shape/structure.
Consistently adore the way you speak about people - you are so helpful and beautiful inside and out!
I have bushy eyebrows naturally, but being a borderline gamine-soft gamine my facial features are quite small and delicate, which really makes me like them when they are quite a bit thinner and finetuned than they naturally are. Otherwise it's just: "eyebrow".
Gitte Van de velde Finer features w/a naturally thicker eyebrow sounds very “Audrey Hepburn” & she was one of the most beautiful women in the world! But you’re lucky that your face may also be able to accommodate a thinner brow too!👍🏻
@@lgempet2869 I do not pluck them until they're pencil thin, though. I like bushy brows, but my 'too much' as concentrated on the ends of my brows, they aren't nicely full at the beginning, but at the end/in the middle. Without doing anythign to them they're brown caterpillars. I pluck the end and middle quite a bit but leave the hairs near the middle of my face alone.
Aly, you are the only youtuber who understands the art of beauty. Many beauty gurus that wears the Instagram look don't understand that. Hense the reason they mask their face with pounds of makeup. It does not "inhance" their beauty at all. They're literally wearing a mask.
They're practically changing their face.
I also think eye size plays a role in how thick you should have your brows. Thick eyebrows with small eyes just make your eyes look smaller. A few months ago I noticed my natural big dark brows were in contrast with my face. It seemed to overpower my face, esp my small eyes so I tried to thin them out a bit and it worked!
I don't know if you'll ever see this but I'm new to your channel, I've watched 3 videos so far and I love how you talk about human beauty ❤️, totally makes me feel better with myself!
I disagree with the measuring method. My nose is very wide, and when I measured how far apart my brows should be, the result was too far apart. I grew that middle bit in about 5° from my nose and I got a much more natural, softer look. I'm not sure what faces look best with this look, I have a large forehead and dramatic angles in my face. But I'm never tweezing so far apart again because when I look at old photos I think I look like an alien :x
There's room to play here. Wide set brows give the illusion of wider set eyes, which could look good if eyes are very close together. But yeah, it could make one's nose look wider too. The opposite would be true too. If one's eyes are really far apart having a smaller space between eyebrows could give more visual harmony to the face, etc.
Don't measure from the side of the nostril, measure from the side of the tip of the nose... The side of the nose bulb, if you will.
I am exactly the same
My nose is super wide and my brows are naturally quite bushy but if i plug them too far appart it looks sooo weird so i just let them be ....and it looks natural becoz that's what my face is supposed to be so I'm not fighting it:)
@@silverjade10 Agree.
Good point. It's a generalisation that will work for many but not all.
Also I love your channel because I finally found a place where just the principles are explained. It's like give a girl a fish and she can eat for a day, teach a girl to fish she can eat forever.
Personally, I just trim stray hairs in my eyebrows, I don't try to thin them. But, I've seen women who actually were using thick, black magic markers on their eyebrows to get that thick look, and it was difficult to see anything BUT their eyebrows on their face, it was so extreme. Just as disconcerting is when I've seen women, who look like they shave their eyebrows, then draw a pencil thin line in it's place.
I have always just filled in my brows with a little eyeshadow in a lighter shade than my hair color. It works perfectly, and I’ve always thought it unnecessary to use eyebrow pencils, wax, etc. Thank you for mentioning that! Love your channel! ❤️
very educational, and your soft and articulate voice only made the experience more pleasant. thank you.
The tail of the brow!! That is so true!! I feel in the trend of having more natural/fuller brows the tail gets completely forgotten as part of a flattering form, often even elongated and overdrawn, but you are SO right!!!
So true that you said about thick/thinner brows for different face types. Being one of the natural types, I opt for slightly thicker brows. But even if I go just 1-2 mm thicker, my face looks rough and more muscular.
And it makes me upset that a lot of brow stylists can make brows of a great shape and a beautiful colour, but these trendy instagramish things just won't fit you face :(
The problem with using eyeshadow to color in and mesh with our eyebrows is they don't last long. I use to do that. And I get oily and get easily sweaty in my face too. So the eyeshadow wouldn't last long on my eyebrows.
My eyebrows will always and forever look the same. There not bushy nor thin...I say just right..I feel and believe it fits my bone structure perfect...I truly love this video ty for sharing
I disagree with the 3rd one. This rule is too general, it is a good start, but also must be matched to the face structure and personal preferences. "Long eyebrows" are difficult, that's true, but it doesn't mean that they can't look good and that they just must be trimmed to the 'pencil triangle'.
The whole problem is that most people get really so used to the eyebrow fashion from the time when they grew up that it's hard to see the appeal of other styles. Many people say that the brow that is long 'closes the eye' and drags it down. But it may just as well frame it nicely and compliment the bone structure of the temples.
You knew the 80s were truly over when Drew Barrymore overplucked her eyebrows in 1993. That moment had started a worldwide eyebrow massacre that claimed billions of eyebrows. Then 20 years later Cara Delevingne went viral, and millions of desperate women felt the urge to resurrect their eyebrows beyond 80's wildest dreams.
Great tips! I'm 62 & NEEDED this advice to rejuvenate the look of my eyes. Thank-You,💕
One thing that is so strange to me is how some people (like Jeffrey Star) look great even with no or bleached brows whereas others look sick. I think it has something to do with the brow bone. If it's heavy, you can get a suggestion of eyebrows even with no brows.
I mean, Jeffrey Star has gone without brows for so long, I think we are just used to him without brows.
Omg I love the way you speak, your quirky accent, your voice and tone. So lovely and unique.
Thanks so much! That is great advice. I appreciate a more natural approach to the brows as well. I love your content as well as your positive upbeat personality!
Great tips! You are so observant about what suits different people. I like how thoroughly you explain things. Photo examples are great. Would love more Kibbe videos!
I always sleep when I hear your voice! It's so soft and calming😂
I learned how to pluck my eyebrows from one of your videos and ever since I've started I feel so much prettier. I look almost glamorous without any makeup needed. You're right in how eyebrows can make or break a look
Hallelujah, someone finally said it! I left my country when brows were not a thing, then came back and I was shocked by all of these girls with harsh eyebrows.. still going strong lol
you are fun to watch because of your beautiful, balanced beauty, your accent, and your information is so good! The way you say things is fresh.
Brow is very important, I am glad you bring this up, the current trend of bushy brown bring me back to the 80s, doesn't look good for me..
I think Aly was saying that whatever looks good for you is exactly right. I personally am glad to see the end of the artificial brow on Instagram; and only very young women can get away with it; it's like have a removeable tatoo. I was born in France and through experience, if you are going to go bed with someone, what kind of shock are they going to have when you both wake up? So I artfully stay natural, which is also a bit tricky but comfortable. Don't follow those trends!!!!! You are beautiful: start from there and enhance the way you look as needed. If your eyebrows need more definition -- think of Marlene Dietrich and Garbo -- you can do anything, and if your eyebrows are an encumbrance, you can redefine everything. Being well in one's own skin -- a French idiom; we should all feel like that. Great comment, tx
@@evelynbaron2004 be comfortable in our own skin is the key to unique beauty! Xx.
@@evelynbaron2004 I think the person ppl are willing to get intimate with will see them without makeup first since they have to get to know each other first. As for hookups, if someone is just interested in the body, then they shouldn't be bothered by how much makeup the partner wears. After all, they got intimate without even getting to know the person more.
I’ve never thought much about brow trends much. I lost most of my brows to chemo. They never grew back the way they were before. Now I’ve gone through menopause and have even less brow than before. I do what I can following the ‘rules’ you mentioned - inner corner of the eye, thought the iris, and outer corner of the eye. But I’ve never been attracted to fake-looking brows. I don’t know how women pull off that look. Thank for the video.
I do tend to agree with you! A lot of women simply have softer brows, and that's what looks best on them. I myself plucked mine from when I was thirteen, and at the time I had sparser, diffused brows... but now, at twenty seven, I've grown them out over the last few years, and finally, now I don't really touch them much, and it turns out I grew into my mother and brother's super bushy brows without realizing it! Really, DRAMATICALLY thicker! And an entirely different ahape, with the heaviest part at the arch! Something I'd never have designed for myself, but better than! I'd recommend leaving your brows alone for a few months to anyone wanting to know what their ideal brows are like. Of course, a few tweaks can make one look younger or chicer or whatnot, but for the most part, what occurs naturLly is what looks perfectly right :)
This is a real beauty influencer. Instead of setting high end standards and making me feel insecure, you make me feel a little better about myself
Thank you so much gurl ❤️
I think you should make a video about your favorite and least favorite trends of 2019. It would be interesting to see your take on them. ~ Love your videos btw ~
My brows are black but are sparce and have bald spots, but when i slightly fill them in with a brow pencil or eyeshadow, they look too thick and crazy. But when i use a lighter shadow, it looks more natural
Yes thank you. Having eyebrows set to trends isn't always what's best for individual faces. For example I'm very small but also very hairy, I remove most of it, but still have pretty bushy eyebrows and get compliments a lot on how everything I do to my skin and hair suits me.
Your tips and arquitetural perceptions are amazing!
Hi Aly!I will never understand this trend of overdone brows;I see some girls with small faces doing these enormous brows that make their face look even smaller;I honestly prefere to leave them natural,just a little more defined;sometimes I even plug them from the inside to make them look more like "baby brows";practically I am doing the exact opposite😂,but for me it works.Love your channel💖
This is great & I have really noticed this with myself - bows make the biggest difference for me to create brews since to have a larger face & naturally light/thin brows.
Wow that Rihanna example made it very clear. What a difference.. can definitly see the connection to Kibbe and brows.
Ps. It's such a pleasure to listen to you. I was already interested in beauty, make up etc. But you can make anything interesting and teach people! I also love that you are self taught. That makes it more honest & pure in my opinion.
I've felt insecure about my eyebrows and I do get the extra growth below and to some degree above the brows themselves; seeing you explain the weight balance for your face makes so much sense and I can't thank you enough. Love your channel overall and I always look forwards to more!
Hey Aly, love your videos, so clear and precise. 😍 In this video you said , 'Always check, there are many rules that can be broken', best advice ever! So true.😄 Love your look in this video. I stopped doing my eyebrows, because they look good in photos when not threaded. Of course, after my initial threading the shape has stuck a bit, which was a blessing, but other than that I don't do much to my brows. The next time I do, I'll keep your suggestions about reducing ends of the eye brows according to the nose-eye rule in mind and try them!🤗
This was really great. You bring a perspective and a 'wisdom' to beauty matters (brows included) that is not the repeated advice you find everywhere.
The face shape description was especially helpful, and in relation to Kibbe types makes total sense. I have naturally bushier eyebrows (and a lot of hair in general, both on my body and head) and have been typed as a SG. I definitely look better when my brows are trimmed and neat (matches the smaller features of my face) but because of my natural hairiness I look best when they aren't thin or super precise. It's why I'm glad I never got into the microblading, pretty sure I'd end up looking like Groucho Marx. 🤣
I consume a lot of content around the science of beauty and you have some of the most helpful and easy to follow information I have seen. Thank you so much! I’d love to see you do a few videos where you have your viewers send in their photos and you can analyze and make recommendations for them. I know I would ✋🏻
Hi Aly i am considered a soft classic with few natural characteristics. I wish u could make a video on how we can mix pieces from other body types nd not look over done. Thanks
Same here! When I do make up, hair clothes etc in a purely classic style I am in danger of looking a bit old-fashioned and even mummy. But if I head in the direction of a Natural I look OK, but not complete somehow... a bit too undone. I don’t have any of the musculature of a natural, but I’m 5 ft 8 in, which seems too tall for a pure Classic. It seems to me that the closest I get to a good look is what I call ‘edgy classic’. Still exploring and I second how helpful it would be to get tips on how to ‘cross-dress’, as it were!
@@annamacm4063 hi! What I do is mixing just one edgier piece into classic look and that makes me look fresh and still very well put together, but not like an older lady (when I use only super classic things I start looking like I'm much older than I am). Just tried these things in front of the mirror and it worked as magic, I am classic (I guess a bit soft classic, cos of more flesh on my body).
Merriam style made a video about that,
Humanbynature wow you are so pretty
Sve Tiko sounds fab! Can u give an example ?
LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! You are an artist! ❤️ please keep feeding us with your beauty and knowledge
I have always been so interested in anthropology without knowing that it was called antropology. I always would search things up like " physical appearance of____ people" because I just found it so interesting and I only recently found out what it was called. Idk, just thought about it when she mentioned it lol
@Sapphire Sky exactly.. it's weird how modern media has set a rule of avoiding calling spade a spade ..very concerning behavioural pattern.
@Sapphire Sky lol what? biologically, there aren't even different human races. it's literally a societal construct. not saying it's not relevant in that sense, but putting people in broad racial categories for science makes absolutely no sense and that's a fact.
Youre top of the bill when it comes to looks and make up. I really thankfull for your vids it help me a lot. I have five scars in my face but with youre advice i see nothing at all so happy
I just went and shortened the ends of my brows. Looks good, but I still feel they're somehow heavy. I have kind of hooded eyes. Wonder if my eyes will lift or look heavier if I take off some thickness.. but I'm also naturally hairy so I don't want to take off too much and look unnatural
She's so right, especially about #3 as her last point -- it makes the face instantly look younger to not have the outer ends of the brows go so far down and over -- or "out." Shortening & raising the ends that TINY bit changes the look of the entire face & makes heavier eye makeup not nearly as necessary to "brighten" your face's overall mood or look. It sounds almost too scientific -- but it's more like an art. She's wonderfully analytical in her artistry.
thank you for picking this important topic !!! Could you please do a video " eyebrows for the body types" !! Hug from Paris
Super like! I have a big doubt if eyebrows should match your body or your "face" type though
Probably they should suit your face
@@irenekay7934 right 💯
I love listening to your input on today's beauty! It's less of what's trendy and more of adapting to everyone's unique look - it's so liberating!!
I just gotta say that how important eyebrows are in beauty stresses me out because, because, I have a disorder where I pull out hair. So lmao. I try but nope. I've gotten pretty good at drawing them on though.
A mistake I often see (mostly in younger girls) is those who need to pluck between their brows make the gap between the eyebrows too wide and it looks unnatural. Sometimes it can draw your attention right to the spot they were trying to make inconspicuous.
I see too many younger women who are brow victims. Their brows look like you could peel them off - solid dark color, too precise outlines. Men call them clown brows
Excellent review. I love how you bring history and nature and another prospective in your videos. Thank you!
Our natural brow is the one the suits us the most :) same goes for other things
Hi Aly, I watch your videos because they are so beautifully produced and you impart so much doable information; thank you! Regarding brows. My Dad was born in 1908 in a small village in Serbia, and after the war immigrated to Canada, was already a qualified architect and made a lot of money before succumbing to Alzheimers in his very late '70s. He was 50 when I was born and I inherited his eyebrows, very much like Sean Connery, and still consider them my best feature. I tame them; they frame my face, and although I don't have striking bone structure, through the years my skin is in good shape and although we all yearn for the days of our youth, I would not go back and re-live my life again. I have earned my crows' feet etc. Being healthy is now really about health and much less about vanity. I love your videos when you do makeup for your mom; I did the same for my mother, Eva, who really was beautiful, and didn't need too much help. As you can see, I was lucky in my parents who taught me to reach out to the wider world. I wish you all the best in your music and all your creative endeavours; you are a brilliant lovable person.
My impatient self loves you - always straight to the point!
