What are Eye Brows for?

Ever wonder why we have eyebrows?! Do you find the more you stare at something, the more peculiar it becomes?! Well, we look and work with eyebrows every single day and so we thought we’d share why we have brows!


Though eyebrows are used to express emotion and are almost a form of communication, the main reason we have eyebrows is to prevent water, sweat, and debris from falling into the eye socket. They’re a barrier that are naturally intended to line the shape of our eyes and protect them-if we didn’t have eyebrows, water would very easily get into our sockets and blur our vision. The debris referred to are things such as dandruff, and even insects, and in addition, they by nature also are intended to protect our eyes from the sun.


One also doesn’t think about the different forms of communication our eyebrows provide for us such as confusion, skepticism, surprise, relief, and frustration. Some researchers believe that having the ability to express emotion with our eyebrows gave us an evolutionary advantage because it allowed for better communication, therefore increased survival. Communicating with our eyebrows allowed for us to decipher between trustworthiness and deception.


So, there you have it-there are reasons we have eye brows above our eyes and though one is from a physical advantage, there is also an evolutionary perk to having them too. Whatever the reason, let me help you ensure your brows are as perfect as they should be!


Your Confidence is my Business,
