Behind the brows

You may not know the name Ingrid Grimes-Miles, but you know her work: She's Michelle Obama's full-time makeup artist. As part of MObama's treasured inner circle and traveling entourage, she keeps Michelle's look happily maintained at every public outing. But there is one thing that Grimes-Miles is most famous for — revamping the First Lady's eyebrows from pointed-down and angry-looking to softer, rounder lines, a transformation that took place during the campaign season. So when the makeup artist was honored as a presenter at the Cosmetic Executive Women Annual Beauty Awards celebration recently, we finally had a chance to see the behind-the-scenes expert come into the spotlight. And what do you notice about the two ladies? Their makeup is almost identical, and the shape of Grimes-Miles's brow line — the most famous part of Michelle Obama's look — is exactly the same. Now, this is why makeup artists are called artists, because they can paint faces to make them look exactly how they want. See below for the zoomed-in shot.

[Kismet79]

Don't like MO's eyebrows, AT ALL! And yes, wth is her hairline? :look::ohwell:

[FlowerHair]

What in the world is going on with her hair :eek:
And I'm not talking about FL...
She almost looks like bozo with the hair starting so far back.

The eyebrows are nice though! :)

Y'all leave the woman alone. She might be one of us folks that have a five head instead of a forehead. :giggle:

I am not too crazy about the FLOTUS' eyebrows either, although they do look neat. I think the MUA's eyebrows look better. My all time favorite eyebrows are those of the Eyebrow King himself: Damone Roberts. Have a gander at this man's beautiful eyebrows:

You know who else's eyebrows I used to take notice of? Nene Leakes on the Real Housewives of Atlanta:

:poke: Didn't I tell y'all that she just has a five head? Nothing seems wrong with her hairline as far as I can see:

First Lady O's brows are too arched for my personal tastes. Damone is KING of the brow. The man really is an architect. He's my hair and brow inspiration.

Ok, so nothing's wrong with her hairline. She just needs to find another hairstyle instead of THAT one.
