Actually, I think it's in fashion right now to have full brows!
I would not recommend plucking your brows on your own at first. Well, if you have a good 'eye' for art then perhaps you can... My experience is that plucking them on my own always end up looking really uneven and makes my face really unbalanced. Having them done by a professional at first, all you have to do after that is pluck the strays every week or so.
Yeah, fuller brows are in right now. Sometimes I feel like I was 'blessed' with the Backstreet Boy Kevin Richardson/Oscar the Grouch/Massive Caterpillar of eyebrows though.
My brow grooming started with one of my older sisters attempting to tweeze my brows, first when I was 16 to take a picture and the 2nd time at 18 before prom. She did a good job (she used to sell mary kay and always had a thing for cosmetics so she was pretty natural at it), She said that my eyebrows are weird, in the way that I have a lot of random strays and weird growth patterns.
Also, as I have learned doing my brows myself, I have to be careful, because of how my face structure is (deep set eyes, pretty prominent brow ridge, lots of forehead, high cheek bones, prominent nose), because anything gone wrong is essentially amplified on me. If I make them too thin, I look like a conehead. If I taper them too much, it draws emphasis to my nose. If I angle them too much, it looks highly unnatural against the shape of my brow bone.
Also, one thing I haven't noticed mention of is hair color too. I prefer my brows a little thicker because if you over-tweeze naturally blonde eyebrows, they end up looking invisible, and that's when you end up using eyepencil (which some brands suck royally at getting "blonde eyebrow pencil" correct in shade, their hint should be that blonde is actually not red, or medium brown either one)
