Adding unibrows
At one point in Ancient Greek history, if you didn’t have a unibrow, then you weren’t up to date with the latest trends. Sure, Frida Kahlo rocked the look throughout her life, but the look had been around for centuries before the artist came along. It was thought that women with unibrows were beautiful and highly intelligent. However, not everyone could grow one of their own.
What were they to do? Some people opted to try and connect their natural brows with dark powders or popular eye makeup at the time. Others went one step further. They would apply tree resin to their face to act as a kind of glue before using goat hair to fill in the gaps. Must have been pretty itchy!
