1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Your dolls and their eyebrows

Apr 2, 2007

    1. I like the realistic looking eyebrows. I see beauty in natural shapes.
       
    2. I'm really a big fan of the no-eyebrow thing. Not for everyone, of course, but it seems like my choices are "weird, huge, or none at all." For characters with brows, funky looking styles with realistic arrangements of hairs, I guess? My current awaiting-new-faceup doll has really highly arched brows with lots of stray hairs and two goofy prongs coming off of them which I hope to recreate because they're kind of "him," and of the ones I'm waiting on, two have white hair so their eyebrows will hardly be visible, one will have very thick black ones, and three won't have any. I have no idea how this happened.
       
    3. Depends on the doll but mine will have realistic eyebrows and emotional. I want him looking worried all the time. Another doll i'm getting will probably have faint eyebrows. like someone who had lost most of their hair or doesnt grow as much as others. Third doll... depends on what kind of character I want for him.
       
    4. I prefer a stylized look.
      When people say natural, I think of my own, and they do this odd point thingy like some kind of Disney villain. Then I start to imagine that on a doll and go "nooooope!" and have to lock up the razors so I don't shave mine. They might grow back even weirder...

      Plus, my dolls tend to have stylized looks all around. It'd be even weirder if it didn't match.
       
    5. I generally like more realistic looking eyebrows, to be honest! I think it also depends on the doll itself and how stylized that doll is, but for the most part I think it doesn't hurt to go with a little detail in the eyebrows.

      (However, it is also pretty popular now to draw on your own eyebrows, so maybe we can just say it's the same with our dolls, haha.)
       
    6. Eyebrows are everything! It's the eyebrows that can give any kind of expression to a doll and all the other features take shape around that particular expression started by them, I think.

      I personally like realistic ones, but their distance to the eyes also matter. Eyebrows positioned unnaturally far away from the eyes won't create a realistic face no matter how realistic they themselves are painted (if an unrealistic face is what's intended, that's alright of course :3nodding:)

      Oh, I could stare at and talk about eyebrows for hours :drool

    7. I prefer thicker, flatter brows for boys and thinner, more arched brows for girls.
       
    8. I like realistic yet groomed eyebrows on my dolls. The type celebrities would have. Natural is okay too depending on the character. I just don't like them too thin or tiny smudges.
       
    9. THICC AND EXPRESSIVE! I am a big brow fan. They are one of my favorite parts to do on a face-up.
      Here we can enjoy an exciting/embarrassing progress collage of my first, second, and third sets of brows on the same doll (Bluefairy Emilie):

    10. I like most kinds of eyebrows on dolls! Especially if they're weird or interesting-looking. It's easier to say the kind of eyebrows I like less - like those very low, super-straight eyebrows I've seen around lately on otherwise girly, pretty faceups (like, imagine a Minifee girl with straight lines a few millimeters above her eyes). It's obviously something a lot of people like, but they might be my least-favorite-eyebrows off the top of my head. I love when dolls have weird stuff in place of eyebrows (dots, hearts, stars), though! I'd also love to see dolls with the "bedazzled" eyebrows I've seen on some runway makeup, those look really fun.

      I have a doll with pretty weird eyebrows myself - I ordered Amriel (my icon) with the default faceup and got something that ended up suiting him way better, but definitely isn't the default faceup. His eyebrows arch up a lot at the outer corners and then go down, then up again, making him look worried and/or evil depending on his eyes and their position.
       
    11. Same here; I mainly prefer realistic eyebrows that look even and shaped like they were groomed.
