Coupled with a pair of beautiful almond shaped eyes, Sophia Loren's eye brows are a source of great envy (hence this post) and inspiration for me. My brows are naturally shaped not unlike Loren's, and her beautiful iconic brow shape gives me something to aspire to while I apply brow pencil and swipe the spoolie through my brows each morning.
I find the photograph below particularly interesting as it gives us an idea of how Sophia Loren worked with the natural shape of her brows. Only the top portion of the arch appears to be filled in, while the rest (though carefully groomed and shapely) is left largely untouched.
While many actresses of her era switched their brow shape on a whim, Sophia Loren celebrated the thick natural shape of her brows and kept them relatively consistent in style throughout the duration of her career. Not unlike Elizabeth Taylor, Loren's eyebrows remain a recognizable trait of the actress who is still as beautiful as ever.
Are there any classic film stars who's eyebrows you envy? Have you ever
tried to recreate the shape of brows inspired by a favorite actor or
actress?
