For a while, it was also the fashion for aristocratic women to blacken their teeth. Or maybe they chewed on too much licorice.
Today, the fashion is almost the opposite. The Japanese women I know are unhappy with their faint eyebrows. Most darken and extend them.

You know what's messed up, women still do that today. I've noticed many of the hard core/wanna-be chicana's with the shaved off brows, and that cheap ass black eyeliner drawn on. It looks like ass the way that they do it, usually.
Old ladies sometimes do that too. Why? I have no clue.

I'm not really too much into that "permanently surprised" look myself. Every time I say a few words and tehn look over, she'd look shocked, I tell you, shocked!!
