“Eyebrows often reflect the culture and politics of an era,” says beauty stylist Diana Carreiro.  “From the lengthy brows of the 30s severe siren to the highly-styled brow of the 90s, the eyebrow was a statement of that time and, today, gives a sense of your personality to the world.”

It is important to find a product that makes it easy to achieve the look you want.  The new Salon Line High Precision Facial Wax from Veet gives you the ability to conveniently wax your eyebrows at home and still achieve salon-quality results.

So where did your eyebrow style originate from and what do they say about you?

Hollywood films helped distract the reality of unemployment lines during the Great Depression, bringing a very thin, well-groomed eyebrow with an exaggerated length.

What they say? You are professional, but enjoy times of fantasy and fun like Greta Garbo.

Fashion houses opening at the end of the war created a look of tiny waists and majestic busts, bringing a natural feminine brow of medium thickness with a slight rounded arch.

What they say? You are glamorous, charming and feminine like Rita Hayworth.

After a decade of rationing, seeds of rebellion grew and manifested through rock and roll bringing sharp arches in the centre of eyebrows with medium thickness.

What they say? You are confident, sexy and a little mischievous like Marilyn Monroe.

Environmentalism, gay rights, feminism and civil rights movements were on the rise.  The social revolution was reflected in the thick full-bodied eyebrow.

What they say? You are free-spirited, earthy and warm like Jane Fonda.

Anti-fashion on the rise with a growing grunge and pop culture brought a thin and highly styled brow.

What they say? You are self-expressive, empathetic and a go-getter like Linda Evangelista

Today, anything goes.  It’s really important to choose a style that suits your personality and facial structure.  A perfect brow that anchors your face says you are confident and in tune with yourself.
