When my friend and client Tamanisha invited me to the Lamik Beauty national brow day celebration at Nordstrom’s last weekend I immediately thought about my mom.
I can remember growing up and listening to my mom tell me stories about her eyebrows after looking through her make-up bag and wondering what the little pencil was that didn’t seem to be used very often. My mother, before I knew her, was a glamour girl. However, by the time she and I met she was still beautiful only very natural and wearing a low ponytail between car rider lines and extracurricular drop offs.
She told me a story once about her eyebrows and how they had become so thin, and I was automatically afraid to over tweeze my brows and thus never took a tweezer beyond the “tail” of my brows.
Mom’s eyebrows never came back and I’m 42 and she’s 75 and I don’t recall ever seeing them.
At the LAMIK Beauty event, Kim Roxie reminded me how connected our beauty stories really are. She shared that she’s been doing brows for a long time, and nearly every woman in the room nodded in agreement. “I’ve known Kim since she was doing eyebrows at Sharpstown Mall!” someone said, and others chimed in, each one carrying their own memory of the woman who shaped not just brows, but confidence.
That’s what made the room feel special. It wasn’t just about beauty; it was about legacy. About the women who have held our faces in their hands and said, you’re already beautiful, let me just bring it out.
Kim has turned that practice into a purpose through LAMIK Beauty, a clean beauty brand made for women who want to celebrate who they are, without apology, without compromise, and without hiding behind someone else’s standard of beauty.
The new brow duo is available at Nordstrom in various shades as well as an option to add the brow gel. Purchase here: LAMIK Revelation Brow Duo | Nordstrom.
Our eyebrows say more than we think. They frame our emotions, shape our presence, and silently tell stories about how we see ourselves, and how we want to be seen. From the sharp, defined arches of the early 2000s to the soft, natural fullness we celebrate today, our brows have evolved alongside our confidence, culture, and control.
Every pluck, pencil stroke, or untouched hairline is a decision about identity. Are you saying I’m bold? I’m natural? I’m meticulous? Or maybe I’m reclaiming myself from the pressure to perfect?
For women, eyebrows are often more than beauty, they’re biography. They whisper of eras survived, standards resisted, and trends reclaimed. They’re the one feature we can rewrite as often as we need to, shaping not just our face, but our narrative.
As I watched the women gathered that day, celebrating something as simple, and as profound, as eyebrows, I thought about the quiet generations of women who have shaped us: the mothers who over-plucked, the daughters who over-corrected, and the new generation learning to balance expression with acceptance.
Our brows tell our stories.
They tell where we’ve been, what we’ve learned, and who we’ve become.
