Eyebrows

"The problem is if the [male] models are 'too groomed' they’ll look 'too model-ly’ and won’t book any shows," said Allen Osborne, the men's director at One Model Management. Long gone is the notion that men in fashion need to be hyper-groomed. So, what do male models do to set them apart from the competition? They get good brow jobs.

Joey Healy, 27, of the New York-based Browlab, agrees. Healy—who works with Ford's roster of male models including Andre Ziehe, Josh Button, and Miguel Iglesias, among others—says that an increasing number of agencies are contacting him every season for that brow job.

Healy says that a good brow job can make a jaw line more square. If brows are straighter across, they will make a more angular face, creating a more tough and square cheekbones.

But Healy warns of extreme tweezing, noting that there's a fine line between plucking and overdoing it. "I find a lot of male models try to do DIY stuff. They get a trimmer or electric trimmer and it's such a bad idea!"

 "Eyebrows are serious," he continues. "I've seen some guys lose jobs over a bad brow job."

Ultimately, Healy says, eyebrows are unassuming and are a male models' silent weapon:

"It's achieving beauty in a quiet, understated way. Brows are something people rarely think about, but a good one will separate an amateur from a top model."
