On the Street......Oxford St., Sydney
UPDATE: Of the 100 comments so far, for this image, only two mentioned what I thought was most important element - the strong eyebrows of the girl on the right. That is a real stylistic choice, as much as choosing a great pair of shoes or a bag.
So what about a strong brow? Can it be a trend or is it totally dependent on the person?

This is so damn cute! The mood is fantastic!
Great snap - you've really captured the wonderful mischievousness of Aussies.
For some reason, the girl on the right reminds me of Sting's daughter Coco

I really do think about buying Doc Martens once again. Man, it's being 20 years...
Weird crossed arms on the right!
bambi the model i assume? i love this photo
Adorable! The girl on the right has to be a model....
Cool pics, love the freshness. The girl on the right reminds me of a young Leonardo de Caprio.
This a lovely capture
Leonardo Dicaprio look a like!!!
What cute girls!
Puck and friend up to mischief! Love it. :)
Girl on right, what's wrong with her left arm!?
Brilliant work. Really tells a story

This is so adorable. Cute and lighthearted. I love it.

I think the girl on the left is Julia Nobis, she's absolutely gorgeous. But I could be wrong
britains ex criminals, cheeky as ever :P
This looks great. I've never been to Oz, but I'd really like to go someday.
http://henrineuendorf.com/
I love the naturalness of this image
you are the No.1 find the time
How do you get your arms into that position? Referring to girl on right.
Her eyebrows kill me, they're just too perfect.
Terrific moment you captured!
~taryn xx
4 words (which also summarizes my young years)
-cute, young, brave and strange.
Rock on girlies!
I had the impression that these are two adorable boys rather than girls. Either way...adorable.
Julia Nobis and Bambi .. very cute. you capture their spirits once agean!
Such happy girls!
I V E S T I T I !
i am soo loving everything coming out of australia right now, especially this.
http://www.buttonsandbowsla.com/
Wish I could see her boots clearly
The girl on the LHS is a model called Julia Nobis. I dressed her at London Fashion Week and she was really lovely.
To me this pic sums up what it means to be young, confident and knowing the world is at your feet.
It's worth noting that both these photos are taken directly beneath one of the more prestigious modeling agencies in Sydney. I don't think this is a coincidence!
What a really cool shot! Stunning...
I love this photo! and you are in sydney!! my home! im going to go see garance's illustrations she did for bondi westfield today :)
beautiful photo!!
good stuff from Sydney, and it seems like there is some kind of boot obsession, no? and I love it!! I'm so happy that we've moved on from the idea about everyone with big boots is goth.
I want to be one of these girls.
Taryn, you are so right - I would kill for her eyebrows! Cx
Oh, yeah. I love the colors here. And the fact that they're smiling.
:)
szucs
loveee her boots!
They look like they're enjoying life!
oh my god, the one on the right looks SO much like young Leonardo Dicaprio !
(georgeous shot, by the way. When I try to cpture a moment like that, an emotion, it always end up wrong on film. We always underestimate what a good photographer it takes to take pictures like this one, telling a story, conveying simple instant happiness.)
IM pretty sure the kid on the left is from Home and away. an australian soap. I love that this is soooo not what I am used to seeing her look like.
fantastic photo, very 'young australia.'
I'm going to call this look, um, the "stylish street rat look". Pretty cute.

The girl on the right is also a moodeeel.
I love the buckled boot on the girl on the right. And the plaid pants of the other one. They have a naturalness that is out of this world.
uaooooo!! the rigth girl !! very cool! beautiful girl ! i want this girl !!
i live in argentina ,
lucianoleonliguori@hotmail.com

Hello Dasein!

http://surfaceau.blogspot.com/
if this is how the girls look in australia, i need to move there!
omg. i thought danny wrote i wish i could see her boobs clearly! anyways, i almost started a fight that the person on teh left is a boy but many ppl have already confirmed her to be julia.. so i guess not. either way i think they have such great opposing looks.
and my original comment was, "is everyone in australia a model?"
I thought I saw you in Darlinghurst then I thought it couldn't be you coz you were supposed to be in Japan!!!!
I would love to approach interesting ppl on the street and take some photos of them but just don't know how to do it. Any tips?
This is pretty nice I like the face of the girl with the shorts
Look my page i would be gald haha!!!
devastated you and garance are in sydney and i didn't even know it!
Anyone else think the girl on the right looks like Annie from Home and Away?
http://pagetwentythrree.blogspot.com
Cute! So weird (but cool) to Sydney through your eyes... I literally walk there everyday but it somehow looks different in your photos
The best accessory is sometimes just a very warm smile.
I thought the smiles are what makes this photo. So genuine! Girl on left reminds me of Cate Blanchett.
THIZ PHOTO DEPICTZ WHAT LIFE SHOULD BE. JOY, HAPPINESS, AND MOST OF THE POWER OF A GREAT FRIENDSHIP. PEOPLE NOT WORRIED ABOUT THEIR MAKE UP OR HOW THEY LOOK. YEZ WE LOOK GREAT BUT WE'RE HAPPY TO BE ALIVE. COULD BE READING TOO MUCH INTO THE PIC. AND SO WHAT!!!!??? IT MOVED ME!!!
the sartorialist knows how to pick 'em , julia, bambi and zippora are the three coolest girls in sydney right now!
cheeky! lovely picture!
I love this - they look like they're having so much fun, and almost mischievous in a typically Australian way. I love the girl on the right - so quintessentially Sydney.

look at these cute girls!
hahaha nice pic!!
Bambi (on the right) modelled for Russh magazine's 'Stoned' shoot. Love the shot.
Cute capture.. I'd love that bag!
androgyny at its best... Wand
as a sydney sider i encourage you to try the more quiet streets like bourke street, crown street in surry hills and glemore road, gurner street and oxford street in paddington. There are smaller but pleasant surprises waiting for u there-
oooo groundbreaking, they are models.
is that Pia? As in Uli's Pia?
love the grunge bag!

Hot.

This photo is all about the perfect moment.
I love australien people, they seem so natural to me, and I love that!
Lovely faces. If Natalie Portman and Leonardo DiCaprio had a child I think she would look just like the girl to th right. :-)
i love this, makes me look forward to summer in the city!
http://randomnotesonrandomstuff.blogspot.com/
not like leonardo di caprio but like that girl that's a model, the one that looks so much like gemma word- aah, sasha podirova or smthing...
cool
the girl on the left is cute too! actually she's a model, she was on several shows last season in Paris. Very nice girl!
love the hair of girl of the right
:)
They seem so nice, i'd like to know them! I can't stop smiling to the girl at the right, cute!
I adore this picture. I keep coming back to take another look! It's so natural and I love the androgyny. Gorgeous!
I don't mean this as an insult - but I love the androgyny of their beautiful faces.
I completely agree with Ariane : the girl on the right realy looks like young Leonardo Di Caprio. And the two girls are sweet sweet sweet. Rock 'n' Roll.
This is a fun shot....well done.

Great!! :)

Love her to the right, her clothes, a nude tshirt and black shorts with some nice shoes...
Julia Nobis & Charlotte Best, no? Their styles seem very much reflective of sydney / metropolized australia right now, which is encouraging (looking at the foreign positive responses)... As always thanks for the post, Scott.
A strong brow can definitely be a stylistic choice, if you have strong eyebrows and don't want to pluck them... but it also largely depends on your genes. If you're fair-haired and have fine hair, it's unlikely you'll have brows like this girl on the right. And moreover, strong eyebrows wouldn't work that well on the girl on the left, in my opinion, it's just a totally different type of person.
But it definitely beats the thin to non-existent eyebrows that have been in fashion for so long..
Oh and I remember having seen Dicaprio in a very similar pose as the girl to the right, in one of his earliest movies, maybe that's partly why she reminds us of him so much. Don't remember if it was in "what's eating gilbert grape" or sth..
im kind of amused because this entire time i've thought the girl on the right was a sexy guy. hahahaha<3
Well... seeing as my own brows can definitely be considered as "strong" I think it's more than a trend and totally dependant on the person wearing them. You can't hide strong brows and don't even try!
www.sarabbentley.blogspot.com
The eyebrows of the girl on the right were the first thing that jumped out at me. They frame her eyes perfectly, I think she's just gorgeous!
strong eyebrows depends on the person, eyebrow shaping all depends on the shape of the person's face imo. that being said, her eyebrows are really cool and this is a really cool pic.
girl on right is stef bambi - models here and there, not that girl from home and away
You get that people are relaxed and with a natural smile.It musn't be easy to obtein this complicity.Bravo!
Strong eye brows are extremely special & specific. It absolutely depends on your face shape and the nature of your eyebrow hair growth in general. For example, they look fantastic on this lovely Australian girlie & someone like Filippa Hamilton or Brooke Shields... lucky lucky ladies!
Great shots, you really capture the superb style that is Sydney... so unlike anything else! xx P.
http://parisianlaundry.blogspot.com/
i think a strong brow depends on the person - its best to find a shape that frames your eyes well and maintain that, rather than change it up when the trends change. The right brow is like a classic LBD, if it works on you, it'll never go out of style
Her eyebrows frame her face beautifully, and she can really pull off their strength that's why I'd say that eyebrow's can't really be manipulated to be fashionable or not. They should transcend trend and suit the person instead..but hey maybe I'm jealous, my eyebrows just wouldn't grow that thick! :)
I think you need to be the person to have strong brows. i have strong eyebrows, but I would look ugly with thin eyebrows.

it's hard to fake thick eyebrows without looking like a clown, but yes they can be a trend. why not?
we blondes don't stand much of a chance of participating unless we go garish.
hmm.. I don't know.
I sure works on the girl in this picture, but I remember some celeb's trying, didn't turn out so good-looking :
leighton meester here : http://justjared.buzznet.com/2009/10/19/leighton-meester-somebody-to-love-music-video-preview/
or Katie Price, and evn Ali Lohan :
http://x17online.com/celebrities/ali_lohan/who_has_the_better_brows_ali_or_katie-04272010.php
it never looks good.
So, I don't see this becoming a trend. I just think that *sometimes*, on the right person, it looks incredible. just like bleached brows on Lara Stone.
I think a strong brow adds so much to beauty, personally. However, I think it's a current trend. The shape of euebrows changes with times. The 80s anyone? The non-existent eyebrows in the 90s?
Passport Smiles
Women's faces are defined by the eyebrow; men's by the hairline.
my first thought was the eyebrows before i had saw your comment on them. I'm all about the big strong eyebrows, so much in fact i have cut my fringe so that i look like Spock so that they can be shown off for the first time in a year! i'd love to see big brows on everyone, overplucked ones knock me sick, but i don't think everyone can pull it off, just like every 'trend' really. she can though. i like to think i can- but then again mine have never been small (former mono-brow!) and i love that neither of them seem to be wearing a lot, if any make-up. funny, the girls i see round uni with the caked on make up and the orange foundation have the horrible over plucked eyebrows. best to be as natural as you can be.
Unfortunately not everyone is able to have strong eyebrows like hers, unless they're penciled on -- which is another statement altogether... That said, I love hers.. she's very lucky.
i believe that strong eyebrows are a trend these days, as they had been when brooke shields was a teenager. However, not everyone can have such strong eyebrows. The trend is actually having a natural look, in contrast to the extra thin eyebrows was some time ago.
I think it's definitely dependent on the person...there are certainly people who have maintained thick eyebrows their whole lives (Charlotte Casiraghi, Brooke Shields, etc.) and I feel like it is, as you said, an individual expression of their style.

You need to have the face for strong eyebrows. That said, nothing looks worse than overplucked eyebrows - ugh!
My sister has a very strong brow--and with her high cheekbones and big eyes, we always tell her she looks like Audrey Hepburn.
I think more women should consider not thinning down their eyebrows--not that it would look good on everyone, but it's so striking on the women who dare.
I think the shape of a brow is a style choice. Brows have been thin, thick, and all kinds of things in between, but I go for a pretty classic arch and not thin at all myself. That's how I like to frame my eyes.
When I think of strong brows I think of only one person, Elizabeth Taylor. Has there ever been anyone in the public's eye that could pull them off like she did in her younger days? Maybe Suzy Parker? But I think hers were enhanced ala 50's. How incredible Liz looked and how incredible this young one looks. Its not just the strong brow its the actual shape! Did she come this way? Did she pay someone to meticulously do the job? She is so natural, I somehow picture her walking out of the house this way. Love the photograph all the way around. Back to the brows for a moment. There are strong brows and then there are these kind of brows, uniques and sexy! One more, Sophia Loren:)
Strong brows are wonderful, and the shape of the brow is definitely a style choice. I personally love the bold look, but I can't have mine like that, simply because, well, I don't have quite enough brow :P
Re the brow: Go for it.
Anyone can do it--whether natural or drawn in--and anyone should do it, at least once.
Life is too short not to risk something that may not suit you.
I never realized that there was a trend to eyebrows. Mainly because I've always had to pencil mine in because I have very sparse brows and when shaped, it looks like i have none. I need to always draw them in to make my eyes appear more defined and it is a major pain. I would say that I'd lean towards having a a strong brow. It's natural, beautiful when shaped and at least it gives you the option to thin them out if desired.
The strong eye brows already is a trend. Fall09 runways showed a lot of that kind of maku-up. IN sweden it's quite trendy right now :) But still, its not suited for every one, I think.
Strong eyebrow is the first thing I saw. Mostly cause Im trying to grow mine out…
I would like to have marked eyebrows, but they are naturally slim (?), then, there is necessarily a natural parameter!
I noticed the brows right away - very Hemingway. I personally have never, ever sported a thin brow as mine are thick and dark naturally. I think you either have it or you don't.
beautiful browns, how could you miss them. so many people thing style is simply in form of fashion, but ones grooming basics/trademarks are crucial!!!!
i think its totally dependant on the person's face structure...
actually im positive... i once had a girl friend who went from thin [proportionately thin] brows to ultra thick brows like the girl on the right...and looked sooo creapy with the new ones.. it totally depends on ur face

I love this pic. its so natural. I <3 strong eyebrows but they cant be a trend. If you have strong eyebrows great, but if you dont. penciling them it just looks tacky.
when looked at the picture, the first thing i noticed were the exebrowes:) im sure it´s starting to be kind of a trend... i´ve seen many various girls leaving their eyebrows strong and i think it´s really attractive, interesting... original and fresh :)
drawing your eyebrows if you dont have any is definitely not a good idea... but it is starting to be a trend just because lots of girls who can leave it strong do it :) and it´s original, fresh and interesting.
A strong brow is timeless, I like their eyebrow/ hair/ skin tone contrast
I believe that nature combines every feature of the face to create a perfect harmony. So, whatever shape your eyebrows are embrace it, not try to make thin ones look thicker or the other way around.
Totally dependent on the person. (re: eyebrows)
All the Aussie girls look like run aways or vagabonds or....young people I guess. When you're young and beautiful you can pull off unkempt........
I think the way the eyebrows are done is a style too.. they give more definition to an image.. Love the Look...
it's not only the eyebrows, but all the image, the muscles, the smile, the tan. in my opinion, the girl from the left makes the one of the right to stand out.
incredible image
natural beauty..
I've been sporting the strong eyebrows for a few years now. Love the look! I wouldn't consider it a trend though, even though seems to be becoming one.
first thing i noticed was the brow. was trendy. but i believe it is totally dependent on the person. which makes it more beautiful and unique. this photo has so much life.
thats so funny you mentioned that because I am obsessed with strong eyebrows. For my lookbook photoshoot, I even had the make up artist draw in a "gallagher-esque" eyebrow on my girl! see it here!

I belive that the strong eyebrow is a trend. It looks so naturally beautiful.Natalia Vodianova seems to be a strong eyebrow trendsetter so it's already has some history. I'm totally into this picture and the girl's strong eyebrows!
Both girls are stunning but as far as the girl on the right is concerned, you see the eyebrows more than you see the girl. I think that's a bit of a shame. Her brows seem to masculine for the rest of her face because it's so fine.
i love this picture. the girl on the right is striking. and yes, the brows make her so.
I love strong eyebrows, and mine I quite strong. I don't think it can be a trend because many people have rather thin eyebrows. But one thing for sure I always get so upset if someone I now who had strong eyebrows thins them out and often make such a silly shape that I want to cry! I think it is a gift - to have strong eyebrows and it is impossible to grow them back. So girls, please, please, please think twice or... three or four times before thining them out.
The picture is amazing. I don't think there something wrong with the hands... The mood of the pic is fantastic!
the brows were the first thing i loved/noticed about her..... absolutely stunning.
and i think they can be trendy or classic. it's classic if it's your signature as a woman, whereas i'd say it's trendy if you had the strong-brow look for a time but don't generally keep them that way.
The eyebrows were the very first thing I noticed about this photo when I first saw it.
I think those strong brows not only suit her, but strike me as incredibly soft and natural. I know they are strong, but I can't over emphasize how much softer her whole personality seems because of them. I've seen too many beautiful women with overly thin, equally strong eyebrows. Penciled in. It is such a hard look.
As a fifteen year old girl with thick, dark eyebrows, it has been very hard for me, at an age when peer pressure (as over used as that word is, it felt needed in the context) is such a strong factor in everyday life, to keep my bold eyebrows. In the past I have over plucked them (disastrously, I might add) and it wasn't until recently that I have realized that they help shape my face, add character, & have become almost my trademark. In an age when most girls my age have barely there brows its nice to have thick browed role models such as actress Camilla Belle & model Ali Michael. Style (not just fashion) is very important to me & my eyebrows, no matter what anyone says, will always be adding character to my face.

Great picture! Strong brows can be so intriguing and beautiful.
I love how the girl on the right looks so carefree and her limbs are bare so even as we're drawn to her pixie face (i completely agree that she looks like young leo di caprio) there's a tangle of flesh colored knots underneath.
Nice.
Her brows make her look more devlish and it adds to her rougher style. Otherwise, with delicate brows, she'd look like a thin-boned fairy!
It's a shame that the blond girl on the left is not given more attention. She fades bit, no?
Brows are incredibly important - they frame the face and, I think, look fresh no matter what your age. I'm all for my daughter (14) experimenting etc but I've drummed into her that once her brows are touched, that's it! She has real Brooke Shield eyebrows, they're gorgeous and they're staying that way!
I wish I had the option of thicker brows. I did have thicker brows as a kid but i plucked them so zealously as a teen that they stopped growing back. I'm just lucky I didn't ruin them entirely, at least they are still a nice and natural shape, even if they are narrow! Let that be a lesson to any teen readers - are you really so sure you want paper thin brows? They might go out of style and by then you might be stuck with them. You're much better off just tidying up the scraggly hairs underneath and keeping your natural fullness and shape.
Natalia Vodianova sold me on the strong brow the first time I saw her, so I've been about it for years. Unfortunately, I could never do it myself. My eyebrows are limited in scope, and light enough that they almost disappear in the summer. Perhaps that's why I appreciate strong, dark, eyebrows so much on other women.
The fashionistas would have us believe a strong brow is a trend, but like anything else, it should be completely dictated by the person - their bone structure, their tastes, and the image they wish to present.
I love a strong eyebrow! The girl on the right is beautiful. The blonde girl is a nice contrast because I love that fair skin, fair hair look and a strong eyebrow on her would take away from that. :)
Bisous!
the eyebrows are a statement however don't think it can be a trend- definitely dependent on the person- i know i couldn't pull that off- very very dependent. but if you can pull it off- its amazing.
love this shot. i think a strong brow depends on the person, just like a funky haircut does, e.g. a pixie cut.
and does anyone know where her bag is from? i adore it.
those brows... they are straight up bonafide SEXY
In reaction to the post update - I'm a heterosexual guy, and I LOVE girls with eyebrows like the young lady on the right. I think it's such a classy look. Really thin eyebrows are disconcerting to me for some reason.
A true gamine can pull off those strong brows and playfulness.
Lovely and innocent with a hint of an edge. as far as it being a trend? It definitely depends on the face of the wearer.
well, big brows is beautiful for some girls, obviously! But I think it does make the girl look a little tom-boy'ish. So I don't think that this is able to become a real trend, because only a minority is able to wear it properly. But if one is able to make it look good, this is defiantly a great detail!
Eyebrows definitely look best kept in or close to their natural shape. I never understood the trend a few years back of the thin brows that all looked the same--usually with the thinned, poker-straight hair, too. It was a dull look, and creepy in the uniformity. What looks best on each person is not necessarily what looks best on others.
eye brow can be a trend always. definitely. But the person has to know which is good on her before following the trend.

I love her eyebrows! They are the first thing my eye went to when I looked at the picture. I have fairly strong eyebrows myself, and I will never lay a tweezer or a wax strip on them!
I also think it's fun how they have similar poses, but they look like they're in two different worlds with their outfits:)
your blog has inspired me to get back in touch with my camera, if only I could capture half the beauty you do!
She's got those Margaux Hemingway eyebrows going on with a luminous face and an adorable smile. Even if the brows were to become a trend again, it only looks special and real on a lucky few.
I have naturally think brows and went through a phase in the 90s were I tried to 'thin' them away - Yuk! Not to mention the every day plucking mission. Brows should definitely work with your features/structure etc. I love the 'eyebrow girl' - natural and beutiful.
She resembles Brooke Shields in The Blue Lagoon.
i think its a trend as much as it will maybe feature more in editorial/campaigns where exagerrated eyebrows work
buin an everyday context physically changing your brows is very difficult
i have naturally dark and thick brows for my hair and i plucked them to oblivion, but when i was 15 i realised it was doing me no favours so grew the back (which was incredibly traumatic! i cant see any older women doing it) and i was lucky to grow them back at all
brows are beautiful when theyre natural and lightly defined
if it looks good on you - why not? definitely adds some character to the face.
strong brow is a yes-yes.
These two girls are Australian models.
The one on the right featured in the latest Russh magazine, her name is Bambi.
They make scroungy look so good. Artful.
Obviously it is dependent on the person, only a person with thick eyebrows can possibly choose to have thick eyebrows (instead of choosing to pluck them), I am a redhead with thin blonde eyebrows and no matter how I try I will never have naturally thick eyebrows.
I think a strong eyebrow depends on the person who has it, it doesn't look good on ANYBODY, but that girl is gorgeous! I love her :)
great shot, and great girls :)
yea I totally agree, natural brow shape with some light definition... Ya gotta love a strong eyebrow :)
I think strong eyebrows are supercool!!! Just look at the girl on the right.
It obviously depend on the face but I really believe it is a very trendy and original choice.
I think she is beautiful. They are both striking. And noticed the eyebrows straight away. They have a very clean, natural, youthful look. BUT, some of us couldn't have eyebrows like that, even if we wanted them. Stylistic choice or not!
She's channeling Ali MacGraw with those eyebrows. A MacGraw-eyebrow renaissance goes right along with designers' current embrace of other '70s style elements - denim, wide-leg pants, prints, etc.
Will always be a trend and has always been!! From Cleopatra to Marilyn up to Linda Evangelista etc etc etc...Behind the trend, on the street you can see it all, well done or less...the both have natural eyebrowns so here there is no trends !! My personal guess is that the girl with short hair propably are lesbian so her look are more relaxed and natural! Nice pic and cute girls! Thanks! /Eugen

I've been asking myself the same question ever since the strong brow look caught on a few years ago. I immediately loved it and grew my brows out. However, having strong, rough face structure, they unfortunately made me look like a crazy man and like my brother said "just because it's in style it doesn't mean that it suits everybody". So... I trimmed them down a bit.
After my own failed strong brow incident and after observing the girls that get away with them the best (Natalia Vodianova making a great example) I realized that a strong brow in general suits a person with very soft, feminine, girl-like features and is definately a trend that should not be picked up by everybody.
Was SO great meeting you at American Apparel today!
I hope you are having a lovely time in Sydney.
Can totally understand your love for eyebrows here in Bambi and Grace at the store today.
BOTH such beautiful girls!
Safe travels!
Lovemore, Bel
Every person recognizes how a nice coif can enhance a woman's appearance. I've always found it puzzling how few women seem to realize the dramatic effect a full and shapely brow can also have. It seems to me to be the easiest and most effective way for a woman to make herself achieve natural beauty.
It's lovely
simple and amazing.

I think the strong eyebrows of the girl on the right truly make her stand out. My girlfriend has strong eyebrows and personally I find that to be one of her most attractive traits.
sometimes beauty shows through in spite of itself
The Girl on the Right reminds me of a young leonardo dicaprio. in his basketball diaries/gilbert grape era. a compliment, for sure.
A strong brow on a girl is most attractive; but like a number of comments here, not everyone can pull it off
The tom-boy look is one I personally like-
You've captured her personality beautifully with this photo. The eyebrows really make it.
I think only a very feminine woman could use short hair and strong eyebrows. It works for her!
<3
great brows. most definitely depends on the person, because if you don't have naturally thick brows you can't fake it!
Wonderful photo! Fantastic work ;)

I noticed the strong eyebrows, too, and I really like them. So many girls keep their eyebrows so thin, and I think it's so much prettier when they aren't so little. They look more confident, kind of.
As for your trend question, I think most anyone could look good with strong eyebrows if they take care of them, but I think that it will never become one, just because so many girls over-pluck their brows. Really, a lot of girls are too insecure about thick eyebrows to let them grow out a little bit.
The girl on the right is Charlotte Best an Australian actor, who stars in the soap Home and away.
Love the picture, both girls seem so confident and the style is amazing!
A lot of my friends say the like my brows, they are quite thin and neat however I have never and will never pluck them and I have always wished for thicker and unruly brows. I love Natalia Vodianova's eyebrows. Yes, the girl on the right has great eyebrows.
