What do your eyebrows say about you?

If your eyes are the window to your soul, they should be framed properly. The shaping and styling of your eyebrows can reflect your personality, make a statement or gently emphasize your appearance. That’s why Veet developed its new Salon Line High Precision Facial Wax. The product’s easy-to-use applicator and precision tip allow you to achieve salon-quality eyebrows in the comfort of your home.

Throughout the ages, eyebrows often reflected the culture and politics of that era. Today’s eyebrows often follow trends from the past mixed with today’s style, but shaped to reflect personal preference. Eyebrows can make a bold statement about your personality, making you come across as feminine, confident or mischievous. What eyebrow style is for you?

	Style: Well-groomed, thin and highly-styled eyebrow following the natural brow pattern and, sometimes, a studded bar at the end of the brow. Inspired by: 1990s to early 2000s - entrepreneurship and anti-fashion on the rise with a growing grunge and pop youth culture. What they say: You are self expressive, empathetic and a gogetter.
	Style: Thin and arched or long and thick, eyebrows are styled according to the shape of a woman’s eyes and face; therefore, many varying styles are common. Inspired by: Mid 2000s+ - high fashion, grunge, hip-hop and emo, there are many subcultures in this era and a wide variety of topics are in the spotlight from global warming to Social online groups. What they say: You are passionate, in tune with yourself and confident.
