Slugs: the antithesis of the power brow

The Powerbrow turns heads. It makes things happen. When the Powerbrow says jump, the corporate world says “How high”. But like any powerstation- the power brow has an arch nemesis- the Slugs.

Nobody means to style their face in the style of a 1970s croation immigrant. But it happens. And the scary part is- it could happen to you.  If you own an eyepencil and havent read this you are in danger.

Slugs are the result of overzealous application of brow pencil/smouldering stick/eye shadow applicator/mascara wand/<insert stuff you found in your makeup bag then put in your eyebrows here>. Now I am ALL FOR putting inordinate amounts of stuff in your eyebrows, the more the merrier, im not happy unless its like an Alicia Keys concert in there. However, the moment you cross the brow line on either side- youre in big trouble. Its enemy lines back there. If you do that- you go from “She said JUMP corporate monkey” to “Whats up with her face- awkward”. For ease of reference, I have set out some examples of slugs below.
