Professional makeup artist: Julianne Moore recalled how years of sporting razor-thin brows, a trend in the ’90s, still haunts her during an episode of Vogue’s Beauty Secrets video series.
Despite accepting that her brows may never return to their pre-tweezed state, the mother of two has gone pro at outlining her own.
“A lot of people think that redheads have red eyebrows, but very rarely do,” the Still Alice star said as she explained how she draws her eyebrows.
She continued: “I take the pencil and start right in the middle, brow underneath and fill it in to make it look straighter.” You rest your pinky finger on your nose to give yourself a little balance with it and it takes forever.
While recounting her daily skincare routine, the 62-year-old Oscar-winning actress joked about the arduous ‘feat’ of having to draw on her over-plucked brows every day (seen in 2014).
‘So here we go. Now I have eyebrows,’ she mused.
In 2021, the Emmy winner told the sunday time that she ‘destroyed’ her brows by plucking and bleaching them until they were ‘really completely gone’ in an attempt to fit in.
Over the years, she has been vigilant in trying to prevent her 20-year-old daughter, Liv, from repeating her own mistakes.

Earlier in her latest video, Moore admitted that her “skincare routine has gotten more and more complicated” as she’s “aged.”
“I’ve always been careful when washing my skin and using sunscreen,” said the Maps to the Stars alum.
“A lot of people think that redheads have red eyebrows, but very rarely do,” the Still Alice star said as she explained how she draws her eyebrows.
As a child, the director’s wife, Bart Freundlich, recalled how her “light-skinned” mother “was worried we’d get sunburned all the time.”
“He wouldn’t even let us out on the beach until after 3:00 and we could only stay for a while and then as soon as there were effective sunscreens, we used them all the time,” Moore recalled.
The beauty added that she doesn’t “like a lot of coverage” and loves to show off her freckles.
