Wherefore art though, Eyebrow?

Have you ever wondered why we have eyebrows?

If you have had the misfortune of losing them, then you may be more aware of their importance to our appearances.  But do you think that Mother Nature put them their simply for appearance sake or is there some other function to their form?

Recently, I googled the significance of eyebrows and discovered that an MIT study had determined them to remain on our faces today primarily for facial identification.  In other words they are there to help others know who we are.

This would imply that our eyebrows are extraordinarily important.  What is interesting is that when I mentioned to one man that I restore eyebrows for people who've suffered the loss of theirs, he fell out laughing.  I understood.  For some reason, it just sounds funny to say that it's a loss that is 'suffered'.  However, to experience this loss personally is to put it all in perspective.  Eyebrows are critical to our own self identity.

I personally believe that eyebrows are more analogous to the plumage of male bird feather markings.  Certain feathers are neither for flight or for insulation, and female plumage is simply for camouflage.  Male plumage includes bright colors and design that are intended to communicate viability to the female in the wild kingdom.  Even the male peacock feathers imitate dozens of eyes looking right at the bird in all his glory. 

For human beings, the wild kingdom includes the market place of society.   Currently, women are remaining in business far beyond what was life expectancy only 100 years ago.  As we women age and lose our fertility, we reflect that loss of viability through a masculinization of our features.  The tragedy is that our culture has little to no regard for the value of age.  It is simply to obsessed with form over substance. 

Permanent makeup is a great way to reinvigorate one's appearances by redefining brow shape to look more like they did when they hormonal production was optimal, thereby communicating viability and value to the world we live in.  You can't change the world, but you can look good, feel great, and change YOUR world.
