Hey everyone! I have a problem, I think. If you look in my port the first 4 or so pictures... I have really light eyebrows. How dark should I make them with a brow pencil? They always look really funny to me. Do you have any other makeup tips for me? I am struggling with anything beyond light day makeup, and I seem to suck at that for any close up pictures. Any help would be greatly apreciated. Thank you so much!

Brows are very important for conveying emotion, so you do need to darken your brows a bit.  Just don't make them over 'arched' so you don't look suprised all the time.

I really like the book Making Faces by Kevyn Accoin (sp?)  It has good basic info and some great tutorials.

Have you considered dying them? I had a friend who was very blond and occasionally had her brows darkened. She thought it was a total godsend. Of course didn't go nuts and make them black or anything.
