Thick eyebrows for the win. All the little cholas who strip them down to nothing are just oblivious to the fact that Frida Kahlo was sex on wheels.
For this post, I love you.

I tweeze, and just kinda fill them in really light to even them out, I dunno. People seem to like them ok, I do have a lot of natural eyebrow there though so I don't use much make-up on them. I would fuck them up if I drew them in, some of you girls amaze me!

12 years of practice. Mine looked pretty horrible when I first started doing them... now people marvel when I tell them I don't use a stencil.

The Mona Lisa actually used to have eyebrows. They were wiped off by some cleaner guy who didn't know what he was doing.
Very unlikely. There was an article written in the 16th century mentioning her eyebrows, by Vasari, but it was written by someone who had never seen the actual painting and was relying on hearsay alone for his description. He is generally credited for starting the rumour of the removed eyebrows, but he describes them as uncommonly bushy, which would have been quite the fauxpas for a fashionable lady of the time. When "Mona Lisa" was painted, the elite and those aspiring to be so, shaved off their eyebrows entirely, without even deigning to daub on an arch with pencil. Vasari also got her eyecolor wrong, and described her "parted lips".
On a side note, her enigmatic smile is often attested to bruxism, an affliction which I suffer from.
Who would've imagined a thread about eyebrow-tweezing would turn into a lecture on art and history? We're good.

I was just about to post roughly the same thing.

You can tell them how Vasari was also responsible for other such rumours as DaVinci being flamboyantly gay, and behaving in a manner which would have gotten him summarily executed. Vasari was a twit.
Another fascinating Mona Lisa-ism: We have no idea what DaVinci called it. The title Mona Lisa is a fairly modern invention.
