Aeroplane

turns out that itsy bitsy hole in the bottom of your airplane window is actually a very important safety feature. It's all-too-easy to let your mind wander when you're confined to a tiny box of space while hurtling 40,000 feet in the air at hundreds of miles per hour, but rest assured: every single window on the airplane has the same hole. More officially, it's called a breather hole and it's used to regulate the amount of pressure that passes between the window's inner and outer panes. In short, the system ensures that the outer pane bears the most pressure so that if there were a situation that caused added strain on the window, it's the outside panel that gives out (meaning you can still breathe). 

The breather hole also keeps the window fog-free by wicking moisture that gets stuck between the panes. After all, half the fun of an airplane ride is the in-flight scenery shots. Mystery solved.

Another editor recently lamented how much the quality of her life improved the day she started filling in her brows—and it got us thinking. How much of a difference does grooming your brows really make? Think back to ’90s Gwen Stefani and Drew Barrymore and you’ve got your answer.

Makeup artist Lori Taylor-Davis explains, “Brows can make or break your look. Not only do they accentuate and frame the face, but also add balance to your features.” Similarly, the founder of a popular brow bar, Umbreen Sheikh, adds, “Brows can visually lift or droop the face—they are defining attributes that complement not only your face but the way you want the world to see you. Whether they are thin, full, sparse, or lush, they all have different personalities.” The best way to add thickness and structure is with a good brow pencil/powder duo and gel. Try Maybelline New York Eyestudio Brow Define and Fill Duo and Maybelline New York Eyestudio Brow Drama for easy application and serious results.

See? Brows change everything. To prove it, we commissioned some of our favorite faces (each with differently shaped eyebrows, this is a controlled experiment after all) and photographed their brows before and after a proper product application. The results prove even the most subtle of changes are fairly mind-blowing.
