If you're like me, you can't get enough of Michelle Obama. Her fashion and beauty choices keep me entertained, on my toes, and taking copious notes.Last Fall, while at New York Fashion Week, I got to talking with the Bobbi Brown. Bobbi was sporting an Obama '08 pin, so we started chatting about Michelle's makeup and favorite Bobbi Brown products. Towards the end of the conversation, I asked Bobbi her opinion of Michelle's eyebrows; I told Bobbi that, though Michelle can do no wrong in my eyes, her arches could use some softening. Bobbi smiled and nodded, adding that if she was Michelle's makeup artist, she would give Michelle a less angular arch.
Around the same time, Michelle Obama's actual makeup artist, Chicago-based makeup artist Ingrid Grimes-Myles, was getting the same criticism about Michelle's brows.
"When she started getting that feedback—I have a rule: When three or more people give you feedback, that means hundreds are talking about it—then what I began to do is bring them down and train them down," Grimes-Myles said.
If you take a close look at Michelle's current brows and compare them the ones she sported at the Democratic National Convention, you'll notice that the arch is less exaggerated.
The Chicago Tribune has a great article about Michelle's brow evolution, which includes some tasty beauty tidbits (Michelle loves MAC lip pencils and gloss).
