There. I finally said it.

Juno Award-winning singer Jully Black has a great face and a fierce physique. Some powerful voice, too. But damn. She needs to know her eyebrows are WAY. TOO. THIN. They’re a nice shape in this publicity shot (I couldn’t bring myself to choose a less flattering photo), but still a bit thin. In her TV appearances and on her “Until I Stay” video they look thinner, out of proportion with her face. Too-thin brows make a girl look older and severe. Thicker brows would soften her bone structure and make her look younger. I’m just saying.

I don’t really trust brow-specific powders or kits; the shades aren’t always right for the hair colour they say they are. I usually use eye shadow and a Smashbox Angle Brow Brush, $28, to create the effect I want (if I need to fake hair, I’ll bust out a M.A.C Eye Brows pencil, $16.50). I’ll have to look into the latest brow products and would have liked to have done so before this post, but I just couldn’t stay silent any longer. Jully Black is everywhere; her brows should be with her.

And that, folks, is a bit of a beauty frown. Frankly I’m not sure about beauty frowns — like most people, I’d rather smile. Perhaps I’ll finish by saying Jully Black’s cheekbones are amazing. They are!

I feel better now. You?
