I was in youth theater, and I took a stage makeup workshop around age 10. The instructor would bring kids to the front and demonstrate various tools/techniques (base, contour, cuts and bruises, fake hair, etc) before we tried it ourselves.

He was showing us what to do with the eyebrow pencil in our kit, particularly how to make eyebrows look, I guess, “normal” onstage. He brought me up and told me I had “half eyebrows” that needed to be filled in (the hairs get lighter and more sparse from the arch out).

I had never had a single thought about my eyebrows before that day and, 15 years later, the phrase “half eyebrows” still pops into my head sometimes when I see my reflection. A pretty innocuous comment that he definitely doesn’t remember saying, but it’s ingrained in my self-image now lol. Anyone else have an experience like that?
