Cara Delevingne on her brows: ‘I’m lucky… I pluck a few but I don’t shape them’

Here are some photos of former model and future Oscar-winner Cara Delevingne at an LA screening of Paper Towns over the weekend. Her ensemble was Alexandre Vauthier Fall 2015 and the outfit was really cute on her – perfectly appropriate, not too showy and not too serious. The screening was hosted by the WSJ. Magazine and Forevermark. A lot of people think Paper Towns will be big with teen girls, so the branding around the film has been pretty excellent. Cara has a lot riding on this too – if the film is successful, then she’s a Real Actress and the next wild-child starlet to hit Hollywood. If the film is not successful… well, I don’t know what to tell you. Cara will still get parts in movies, but very few people will hand her a starring role in anything.

As a model and now as an actress, Cara has been known for her very famous eyebrows. They are big and bold and dark. I’ve never really loved the big-eyebrow trend, although I did cover a January Jones interview where she said bigger eyebrows make women look younger, and ever since then, I totally see it. Of course, when I look at Cara, I also see Angry Baby. Anyway, Cara chatted with Style Magazine about her brows, her hair and other kinds of maintenance.

She doesn’t shape her brows: “They just grow. I’m lucky with the shape — I inherited it from my grandmother. I pluck a few, but I don’t shape them. I usually don’t let other people touch them, just in case.”

Her hair: “I’m not that adventurous with my hair, but I’ve always wanted to dye it green or purple. I’d love to be able to cut it short, but I think I’d look like a boy, so I’m going to wait for a film to make me do that.”

She makes regular visits to the salon: “Laser everywhere.”

Do you believe her about her brows? I guess I do. If I had such a lovely natural shape to my brows, I probably wouldn’t do that much to them either, although I would probably pluck them to look a bit “further” apart than Cara seems to prefer. But not all women are so lucky. My brows would be such a mess if I “didn’t touch them.” They would connect to my hairline, I’m sure. Oh, and I hope we get to see her try a pixie cut because I think it would look SO bad on Cara. So bad that it would be the anti-trend. Women around the world would grow out their hair to avoid looking like Cara’s disastrous pixie cut. Oh, and is she getting laser hair removal on her biscuit?

Last thing – Cara has a lengthy new profile in Time Magazine. Go here to read. There’s not really any new information in there.

    I don’t get her appeal. Perhaps all the fuss is related to the fact that she comes from a hideously wealthy family, which have contacts in the right places to enable her to have a career.

    • Meowsy says:

      This is the one thing that I always think of when I hear about Cara. “Would you be in the position you are if you hadn’t been born in that family.” There is no way to know for sure but I doubt it. Not that anything can be done about it though. I don’t find her as charming as people say she is.

      • Franca says:

        But like in all John Geeen books, they are not just teenagers, they are special and deep and so different. And extremely annoying.

        Wrong comment, sorry.

      • Meowsy says:

        Franca you may have replied to the wrong comment haha?

        BUT about John Green. I swear reading those books is like reading what kids on tumblr think they sound like. Makes sense that JG is on tumblr. “Oh my life is so interesting and I am so witty and I think and speak in ways that no one actually thinks and speak ladi da la ooooh let me reblog this picture of the Eiffel tower with flowers photoshopped over it because ASCETIC.”

        …I go on tumblr too.

      • Franca says:

        I did, I’m sorry. But I completely agree with you.

    • Bella says:

      @EM – Totally agree. I don’t understand Cara’s appeal whatsoever. I think right now these “supermodels” are all just rich and famous girls who are only where they are today because of who they’re connected to. The only one of this group (Kendall, Cara, Gigi, Bella, and Hailey Baldwin) that really looks like a model to me is Gigi Hadid.

    • kimbers says:

      She fills the KStew role of the “anti” girl. I’m not being funny or sarcastic it’s just the way it is. Each stereotypical fan base has their queen…

    • TrixC says:

      I think she’s a great model with a really unique, striking look. I find her personality a tad annoying but at least she’s got one.

  2. Elyse says:

    I reaaally hope the movie tanks. She’s starting to annoy me. Also, I don’t understand the premise? Like a teenage girl plays a game on her family and friends and disappears until they can find her? Too much teenage angst.

    • aims says:

      Agreed

      • Kiki says:

        I agree, she is just starting to get on my nerves. I just don’t get it with these models and think they can just be models. That’s like saying Rihanna’s acting is just a good a s her singing. THESE YOUNG entitled rich spoiled brats.

    • Came here to say the exact same things that all y’all are saying. I’m growing pretty tired of her, and I can’t wait for the rest of the world (i.e. the magazines and media) to be as tired as me.

  3. Meowsy says:

    I have similar brows but I absolutely hate them. I pluck and wax and I’ve been doing so since I convinced my mom to let me when I was 12.

    When this powerbrow trend started I was like “OH ok fill them in and erase them when its all over.” I can’t do that. I have eternal angry caterpillars living on my forehead. All those products like dipbrow and stuff, they make no difference on my face.

    • Fancyamazon says:

      I let mine go, always have. I pluck a few now and then. Strays. I have pretty thick eyebrows, but had them shaped twice. The first time, the girl almost skinned my brow/eyelids! It was terrible. And the second time was for a cruise, and I didn’t enjoy it any more than I would have with my normal brows. So now I let them go. I don’t need “fleek”, I guess. Whatever that is. 🙂

  4. Carmen says:

    Those eyebrows are too much of a good thing.

  5. Happy21 says:

    I think her browns are her look. Without them, she’s just another pretty face but her brows give her that look that has made her famous. I wouldn’t want to see what she looked like with thin brows…lol, or no brows for that matter!

  6. serena says:

    You don’t ‘pluck’ your eyebrows – you ‘tweeze’.

    You are not a chicken.

  7. Franca says:

    I think she would look amazing with a pixie cut. She has perfect delicate features.
    I find her very pretty, more in pictures than in motion, though.

    Has anyone seen her in anything? Is she a good actress?

  8. InvaderTak says:

    Fascinating….

  9. Hannah says:

    I find her to be very average looking ( minus the fabulous brows) I see girls who look like her all over London. Have to say I think her success is more to do with personality ( and well connected family) than her looks.

  10. The Eternal Side-Eye says:

    I know two girls actually who since birth have had their brows grow in this perfectly shaped way. Delicate hairs perfectly arched, no patchiness. At best they’ll maybe need some powder to fill them a bit darker but they’re blessed.

    Bigger brows all the way. They make you look younger, help define your features and give your face some character. I’ve seen myself with thicker brows and thinner brows and God the results were so much better on the thicker side. Not saying you need Cara’s but say Zendaya’s brows…so much better than some of these poor tadpole brows I see out here.

  11. Bella says:

    This might get me some hate, but Cara’s brows need some help in my opinion. They’re a tad bit too thick for her, and I think the whole trend of women filling in their eyebrows severely or letting them grow super thick is unflattering in a lot of cases. Thick eyebrows are not for everyone, and I know quite a few women personally who are walking around looking kind of terrible with eyebrows that are just too thick for their faces.

    I don’t get the appeal with Cara, whether it’s her modeling, her looks, or her personality. She is part of the group of girls who are being deemed “supermodels” and they can’t hold a candle to the real supermodels of the 80s and 90s. Cara, like her peers, are only where they are because of their connections.

  12. platypus says:

    My face is kind of similar to Cara’s, eyebrows included, but I’d never dare grow them out. I don’t think strong brows and round-ish babyfaces go well together at all, she’d look much better if she plucked and trimmed/lightened them just slightly. Women with features more like Jennifer Connelly suit them better IMO.

    • danielle says:

      I’ve always been been a bit eyebrow obsessed, and my thing is a nicely arched brow. Not too thin, but not super thick either. Thicker eyebrows may make you look younger, but I think a nicely arched, neat brow makes one look thinner and more pulled together.

  13. justme says:

    Funny I never plucked (tweezed) my eyebrows either. And now in my late fifties I still have fairly full eyebrows – and my friends who plucked or tweezed theirs during their youth have none. I was lucky that I did not have a unibrow or anything like that, but just eyebrows. Once less thing to worry about!

  14. Tracy says:

    She really does look like “Angry Baby” with those wooly bear caterpillars crawling across her forehead.

  15. TrixC says:

    I’ve never needed to pluck my eyebrows either, although they’re not as thick as Cara’s. I’ve even had beauticians compliment me on them, like they think I’m really good at shaping brows.

  16. LAK says:

    Her shoes are so cute.

  17. Elizabeth says:

    Her charm eludes me. She always looks angry and I see girls all the time who are far prettier. No idea why anyone ever hired her as a model.

  18. Greenieweenie says:

    Does anyone remember Jodie Kidd way back in the 90s when she looked strung out? She did this editorial in Vogue where she wore a pixie wig and for some reason, that image burnt into my brain (I was really coveting short hair at the time). I could actually see this on Cara.
