In CosmOhNo, we’ll take a look at the advice a certain female magazine shares and shake our heads in amazement.

This is about a week old, but I just saw it and couldn’t help but share. A recent Cosmo blog post discusses tips on how to look skinnier in the new year. The secret is apparently less tweezing.

Yup, a brow guru (he must have studied many years to reach this level of perfection) told the magazine editor that having the right brow shape can make your face look thinner.

The idea is not to over pluck. While at first this seems counter intuitive – thinner brows equals thinner face, no? – it makes sense that a skinny eyebrow may just emphasize the fatness of the rest of your face. Sorry, but it’s true.

Too much plucking = no good. 

It’s not that I don’t believe a fuller brow will balance out round cheeks etc. etc., but it just seems like a small drop in the bucket when it comes to buffing up. Leaving a stray hair around isn’t going to have guys swooning. Sorry, if you want to drop a few pounds, a lack of tweezing will not replace actually working out. But it will give you just that much more time to get to the gym. Yes!

But let’s not go overboard here.
