Say No to Tatooed Eyebrows

You might not know this, but a large percentage of Lebanese women tattoo their makeup onto their faces. I learned this from my neighbor, a 21 girl named Niveen, who has gotten her eyebrows, lipstick, and eyeliner "done" at her future mother-in-law's beauty parlor. I went to said parlor the other day for a pedicure, and found that most of the space was devoted to tattoo artists cum cosmeticians (or vice versa). The place also administers Botox, and quite a lot of it, judging from the faces of the clientele. I enjoyed my pedicure, which while rather rough, turned my little toenails into roses. Upon leaving, however, I was stopped by the head cosmetician, who told me that I must let her "do" my eyebrows. After a few awkward phrases about how my Asian eyebrows are too thin to possibly allow the thick, calligraphic penline of tatooed eyebrow to appear "natural," I told her I'd think about it. Yeah right.
