I have, in the *ahem* past, been accused of being eyebrow obsessed. Maybe I am – just a tad. I just hate overdone eyebrows, I really do. I think they are a very important feature, and when I see them too BIG and too LONG, and even too skinny and, God forbid, too far apart – especially on models – it just drives me ape-y. So, I always love articles and features about eyebrows and what do you know, the NY Sun did a great little article on eyebrows today, The Pampered Brow, and as a bonus it was featuring my dear friend Elke – long known in the beauty community for her Beauty Newsletter, and more recently as the founder of The Beauty Blog Network – which I know you all keep an eye on – right?
So anyway, In the article they mention all the latest and greatest eyebrow beautifiers by my beloved Bare Escentuals, Anastasia, Lorac et. al, but what really catches my eye, and what has caught so many other eyes over the last few days is yet another reference to the truly gruesome cover of Sienna Miller on Vogue this month. What do you think about Sienna’s eyebrows?
Here, lets take a closer look:
Do you love this? Am I the only crazy woman that thinks this is hideous? Maybe I am. I am sure you will tell me. I only hope that Keira Knightley’s fans aren’t Sienna Miller fans too, or I am toast. By the way, Keira eyebrows look fabulous after looking at this disaster. ;)

I’m also an eyebrow fanatic . . . but I kinda like her brows here (shape wise). Clearly , the color is too dark compared to her hair . . . but as others have said, I think it was only for the magazine.
Hi – I actually really welcome the return to thicker eyebrows. I know Sienna’s eyebrows look to thick in this picture, but it is sooooo much better than the too thin look.
I also have an eyebrow obsession and I totally dislike the overly plucked eyebrow. I think a thin eyebrow usually makes a face look harder. A larger eyebrow, so long as it is not too large actually seems to soften a face and make women look more sultry.

[...] Retro makeup? Uh huh. What is not in style? I am not sure. Apparently not eyebrows for the spring (thank God). :) Anyway, if you are interested in reading more, here are the MAC observations, and a few [...]
The eyebrows might not have been too bad size-wise (heck, I’m trying to say something positive here); but the color is all wrong. I am not quite sure that strong and *solid* of an eyebrow would work on anyone.
And the funniest thing? Who sat around the table at Vogue and decided that was a good look for their cover?!?
I don’t think there the worst I’ve seen. I have met some women in real life that look like they took a marker to create a brow from nothing. Or those that shave their brow and only sport the drawn line. lol Awful! I just hate that, and want to tell them how to do it the right way. I myself have a small brow naturally, so I have to fill in every day. Sienna’s aren’t that bad, the strong brow is in this season. I suppose that’s the idea they were creating.
wow. its a picture on a magazine not a picture taken w/ a disposable camera in her house. its a piece of art not a “this is exactly how she looks” picture. notice how her eyebrows, eyes, and the letters on the cover are all black…thats so they stand out. she is gorgeous. besides i think the person whos job it is to put that picture on the cover of VOUGE knows a little more about beauty and fashion then all of you.
Horrible!!! I know bigger eyebrows have been “in” for a while, but UGH!!!!!!
Wow! Those are some whoopers!
Well, they do look OTT but I guess it IS high fashion. What gets me is her lips are really heavy too. I thought the golden rule was eyes OR lips, never both! Tut tut…
What in the world is Vogue seeing here with this awful pic. My husband always says that a few men that hate women assemble in a room and claim a retched trend all while laughing. EyeBrows are meant to frame the face in a beautiful, subtle, alluring way.
All you see in this picture is EyeBrows!
I totally agree that in a real-life situation, eyebrows should be well groomed and appear natural.
With that said, I think that this cover is more about the dress and playing up the couture element of the piece. It seems to me that the stylist and makeup artist were going for a ’50s elegance with a modern flair in Sienna’s look.
I think she’d look a bit silly walking down West Broadway with those brows, but in this case I think it works.

I think the brows may have been purposeful here…afterall it is the BIG issue, and extra defined brows are supposed to be hot this fall.
They are a bit theatrical, but maybe that was the point.
LOL BeautyBanter – maybe she pissed off the divine Ms. Wintour in some way? ;)
