I finally decided to get a brow contour because my eyebrows are very sparse. But when my mom saw it, she was shocked, constantly saying, 'You've killed your natural brow, I told you not to mess with your eyebrows.' There are other things I want to get done too, but now I'm hesitant. Has anyone pressured you like this? How do you deal with it?
'You’ve killed your natural eyebrow' part had me laughing, my mom said exactly this to me: 'Those brows will leave you, you'll marry contouring.' Honestly, I teared up. But over time, they forget; don’t take it to heart.
If your friend is annoyed, give it some time. But be straightforward about other things you want to do. For example, you can say: 'I got my eyebrows done, you didn't get used to it. Now I'm thinking about this, I wanted to share it with you.' You need to be clear with them.
Honestly, your mom has a point. You should have asked her before getting your eyebrows done. If you made such a big change, it’s only natural to consult someone first. I think it's perfectly normal for her to react now 🫢
I think your mother's reaction comes from a cultural perspective. The desire to preserve what is natural can be dominant in such matters. However, these types of procedures are a matter of personal preference, after all, it's your eyebrow. We need to have a sensitive conversation about this.
By the way, just to add as an update, my mom seems to be more afraid that I would dare to do other things as well. For example, like a nose job or something. She has her valid points, but I actually want a bit of support.
But isn't eyebrow contouring not permanent? I thought it completely fades away. I don't understand why your mom is so upset about it; after all, you're just going back to how it was before.
I thought to myself, I hope your mom hasn't come across contour videos on TikTok or anything like that. Watching those can scare the life out of you. But I think she'll get used to it; after all, it's not like our generation.
What kind of logic is this? Is he seriously going to ask his mother before getting his eyebrows done? After all, he's over 18. There shouldn't be this much intervention. It's his own eyebrow, his own decision, I just can't understand those who talk as if there's no freedom here.
