dark makeup (even if its only mascara) makes me look boyish. Is there any make-up i can use to try and 'hide' my browbone?


I wouldn't say there is any make up to "hide" your brow bone but you could try wearing a lighter shade of mascara like a browny black or just brown so not too make your eyes too dark. You could also try a light eye shadow?
Maybe if you also use some nice lipstick or gloss this might make you look more feminine and also take the attention away from your eyes and brow area. I'm not a make up expert but this seems the most sensible thing that one can do without having to go to proffessional make up advisor or even to the extreme, cosmetic surgery! NOOOOO! :flutter:

Hair would probably make a bigger impact on your brow bone. Maybe a side fringe would be nice, or something like that.

Yes, get a light fringe.

I find with my browbone (which i wouldn't have said was very noticable, protruding etc) does have quite an impact on the way i look. I've inherited it from my dad, and i find that, with my deep set eyes, dark makeup (even if its only mascara) makes me look boyish. What i'm interesetd to know, are there any other girls here with the same problem? Is there any make-up i can use to try and 'hide' my browbone?


Put a darker eyeshadow on your brow bome if you don't want them to stand out too much. Try a light brown shade for natural shading

wear really really big sunglasses :eek: or or or a humungus floppy hat.
no really you cant i mean you can draw the eye away from it by using a different colour lipstick or like make it less obvious by using lighter mascara etc but thats it, try hiding it with hair or something.
