 Those tiny, little hairs above our eyes
that many women either pluck, paint, pierce or tattoo play a
very important role in keeping moisture out of our eyes.
Just like an umbrella keeps our bodies dry from the rain,
our hairy eyebrows keep our eyes dry from rain or sweat.
When it's pouring rain outside or when sweat drips down
from our foreheads, our eyebrows divert the flow of water or
sweat away from our eyes.
Our arch-shaped eyebrows angle the rain or sweat around to
the side of our faces--leaving our eyes fairly dry. By
catching the water or sweat, our eyebrows not only allow us to
see more clearly, but also keep salty sweat from burning or
irritating our eyes.
 Eyebrows have other roles also. As one
of our most expressive facial features, eyebrows help us
determine how people are feeling without ever really asking
them.
If a person's eyebrows are frowning, chances are they are
mad or upset. In addition, eyebrows have an increasing impact
on our beauty or fashion culture over the years.
Thick, hairy and big eyebrows tend to be characterized as
unattractive while thin and plucked eyebrows are said to be
more attractive. |
