The Great Celebrity Eyebrow Swap

We set out to prove how important eyebrows really are -- by replacing the worst celebrity arches with the best in Hollywood

Who should try them: Fergie "Fergie's brows are unacceptable," says Vigliotti. "There's too much missing underneath so they have no arch -- they're round and too high." While super-thin brows may be Fergie's look, Theron's slightly thicker version is a big improvement. The result is flattering and much more natural.

I disagreed with about half of the suggestions. Some of the middle celebrities looked the same either way. I've always thought Charlize has such class.

Nice

No. Most of the women looked OLDER! ewww.

Most of the women looked worse after -- the only two exceptions were Kristen Stewart and Fergie. They looked so much better.

I've always kind of wondered about this whole brow thing and after looking at this slideshow have concluded that it's all just a bunch of fluff. I didn't see a remarkable difference between the two, in fact, on several occasions, I thought they looked better before! Will keep my brows looking the same.

I am glad to see the prices of these serums. I received an eyelash one from Total Beauty and am not sure of the results. I have very thin eyelashes and short-perhaps not a lot either. Seeing what was said about Latisse, I guess it has to be used all the time. After reading this article, I am going to see if I can find more information about the brand. I have to say one thing is, I never wore mascara for a long time, and I seem to have less of a problem with my lashes. But, I don't have the money to purchase something that maybe will work. So, my final decision will wait till later

Ha! Those new eyebrows DID make Julia Roberts look like the devil, most of the "new and improved" eyebrows given to these women make them look awful!!

by mckae90 Thursday, March 29, 2012 at 12:53PM Report as inappropriate

The only women who look better with the "new" brows are Keira Knightley and Fergie. Jessica Alba and Megan Fox look especially bad with the eyebrows you gave them. You made Jessica Alba look hideous!

These make overs are great. Eyebrows really do change the look of a person. They all look better.

by Toyvoo Wednesday, March 14, 2012 at 05:56PM Report as inappropriate

I'm going to have to disagree with his assessment of Julia Roberts. Curved brows make her look like the devil, she looks open and fresh with round brows. He's got a serious problem with round eyebrows. It's a natural look on some people, just because it isn't currently trending doesn't mean it looks bad.

thanks.... but what of women with very scanty brow or no eye brow at all?!!!

by teema Wednesday, March 14, 2012 at 09:16AM Report as inappropriate

I totally disagree! Most women look way better is they just go with the natural shape of their brows. And I actually think Megan Fox's "botox brow" looks really good on her lol.

by kelser11 Tuesday, March 13, 2012 at 10:13PM Report as inappropriate

Wow! The after Jessica Alba picture looks really great. I don't know her, but I definitely prefer the after.

by Santuary Tuesday, March 13, 2012 at 10:00PM Report as inappropriate

This article is not helpful, since you can't change eyebrows. you can grow them out and re shape a little or fill them in with a pencil, but you can't take a certain shape and add a high arch like with Julia Roberts' example. The new brows make her look kinda evil. but that's not the point. the point is she doesn't have that arch shape

by Minibear Tuesday, March 13, 2012 at 04:42PM Report as inappropriate

jessica alba's brows work for her, the new ones make her look different

by Minibear Tuesday, March 13, 2012 at 04:36PM Report as inappropriate

Fergie is so ugly. Hideous. Only FERAL guys find her attractive... and they'll do anything that moves.

by ryan_montana Tuesday, March 13, 2012 at 03:36PM Report as inappropriate

Nice eyebrows...but she ruins it with the bright red prostitute / clown lipstick. Ugg. Why do women wear bright red lipstick? It says "trashy" and that is all that it says.

by ryan_montana Tuesday, March 13, 2012 at 03:31PM Report as inappropriate

I agree with Linda. Leave Jessica's brows alone! The after pic just ages her.

by KurleeTop Tuesday, March 13, 2012 at 02:28PM Report as inappropriate

No, no, no! Jessica Alba looked better in the 'before' pic . Really.

by linda_perryciaravino Tuesday, March 13, 2012 at 01:56PM Report as inappropriate

I agree with everyone else, all of these are terrible! I completely prefer the "Before" pics. All of the "After" pics look the same--they are all too thick or too filled in. When brows are filled in so much, that is what makes them look unnatural. This article is silly.

by hwilliams1970 Tuesday, March 13, 2012 at 01:55PM Report as inappropriate

I think that they all looked horrid after. My shape has less arch and I like it. This article was ridiculous.

by barbara_e_de_rosa Tuesday, March 13, 2012 at 12:53PM Report as inappropriate

They look better in the before. Also, i think it's a bit unrealistic that someone can completely change their arch shape.

by thosegraces Tuesday, March 13, 2012 at 12:14PM Report as inappropriate

The before photos are better! Kristen looks awful in the after photo! Viglioti likes "Drag Queen" eyebrows! Eekk!

by makeupglam Tuesday, March 13, 2012 at 12:02PM Report as inappropriate

Big difference, but I think they also looked fine before.

by WiccanLady Tuesday, March 13, 2012 at 11:50AM Report as inappropriate

I think they all look better in the before pictures, and Megan Fox didn't look any different...

by powerwoman033 Sunday, March 11, 2012 at 10:07PM Report as inappropriate

Really disappointing...Only Keira Knightley and Fergie look better in After photo...the rest is awful! I wouldn't let Vigliotti do my eyebrows!!!

by SoundOfVision Saturday, March 10, 2012 at 08:57AM Report as inappropriate

I think most of these women look better in the before pictures, but that is just me.

by TheLacqueredLady Friday, March 9, 2012 at 08:59AM Report as inappropriate

Only Fergie's and Megan's brows look better in after pics. All the rest is dreadful!

by venenumletalis Friday, March 9, 2012 at 06:21AM Report as inappropriate

Brows frame the face. That's why it is very important to groom it. However, I like Jessica Alba's before look. Her current eyebrow suits her.

by Katey23 Friday, March 9, 2012 at 03:44AM Report as inappropriate

Nicely groomed eye brows, definitely complete your look ! Oh loved Megan Fox's brows before & After !

by applepiealamode Thursday, March 8, 2012 at 08:44PM Report as inappropriate

Eyebrows definitely add character! great article

by ManoSalwa Thursday, March 8, 2012 at 07:55AM Report as inappropriate

I love how eyebrows can make you look totally different

by porsha_coleman_mcdaniels Wednesday, March 7, 2012 at 08:09PM Report as inappropriate

I love my eyebrows, but it took me years to get them looking good...my advice, never let your inexperienced friend wax...anything!

by Belladonnerose Wednesday, March 7, 2012 at 04:14PM Report as inappropriate

i love Kristen brows ! they fit her perfect.

by prettypoochie Wednesday, March 7, 2012 at 03:23PM Report as inappropriate

Sorry, Jessica Alba looks much older with Camilla's brows! The shape simply doesn't suit her. While I agree with the fact that her brows are a tad too short, her general shape is fine for her.

by crimsonshine Wednesday, March 7, 2012 at 05:43AM Report as inappropriate

I am a huge fan and you can say a bit obsess with eyebrows. I take notice on girls eyebrows alot. I agree that eyebrows are a major must when it comes to makeup and looking your best. Don't get me wrong, but i'm Asian and we like more soft looks like Kristen except a bit lighter unless our brow is naturally dark then oh well. In my opinion most of the eyebrows looks in here are nice if you're trying to achieve a more bold look. I wouldn't want to just have the same brow looks. Depending on my makeup look for the day or and event etc. etc. I like to alert it from soft to bold and in between. so yeah this article not the best, but ok and some people do like more of these looks better so I can understand.

best eyebrows belongs to lilly collins, she has really nice full, thick brows

by dancer14 Tuesday, March 6, 2012 at 06:50PM Report as inappropriate

some of them actually look good from before

by NYdesichick Tuesday, March 6, 2012 at 05:17PM Report as inappropriate

Not what I was expecting when I clicked on the link...

by mrselliott08 Tuesday, March 6, 2012 at 04:37PM Report as inappropriate

Much better would have been an article about how to achieve these three brow looks.

by Jewelrydesigner Tuesday, March 6, 2012 at 01:55PM Report as inappropriate

While I agree that eyebrows are important....Jessica looked horrible and unnatural and Kristen looked only mildly different.

by KayArrEff Tuesday, March 6, 2012 at 12:36PM Report as inappropriate

My eyebrows desperately need help. this just proves that. lol

by ladyboarder9669 Tuesday, March 6, 2012 at 12:14PM Report as inappropriate

Interesting. I thought Kristen Stewart looked odd. Some people need to keep what they have.

by voyager24 Tuesday, March 6, 2012 at 11:58AM Report as inappropriate

Wow, eyebrows make such a big difference! Jessica's looked terrible.. lol

by yestfl Tuesday, March 6, 2012 at 09:29AM Report as inappropriate

I'm sorry, but this is by far the WORST post on this whole site. The only one that looked okay, is Fergie. The rest looked unnatural and strange (if not ugly). There is a reason a person has the eyebrow shape they do. It's just a matter of grooming them properly.

by DanielleFrenz Tuesday, March 6, 2012 at 08:17AM Report as inappropriate

I really don't like the new brows on jessica alba

by sportimonki13 Monday, March 5, 2012 at 07:48PM Report as inappropriate

Good to know! I really need to get my brows done
