Brooke Shields Reveals One Thing She Will Never Do to Her Iconic Eyebrows Again: 'I Looked Crazy' (Exclusive)

The actress, author and True Botanicals brand ambassador shares the "huge mistake" she once made

Brooke Shields has some of the most famous brows around but every once in a while she experiments with a new method to keep them looking their best — and it’s not always a success.

“They're thinner, they're graying, the whole thing,” Shields, 58, tells PEOPLE of the current state of her famous arches.

For the actress, author and entrepreneur, ”it's definitely been frustrating,” she says.

“I never used stuff to fill in my lashes, and now I need to.”

There’s one thing Shields did to her brows that she won’t be repeating any time soon: tinting.

“I tried dying them once, and it was a huge mistake, because they were so dark. I looked crazy.”

Yet the experience isn’t deterring her from finding other solutions to her brow woes. “I'm open to all of it.”

Though Shields seems pretty willing to try new things (In 2021, Shields shared the then secret to her signature brow look, and it involved the use of an unconventional product.) she’s prefers a no mess, no fuss beauty routine.

“Who has the time?” the actress, author and entrepreneur said before breaking down her regimen now.

Thanks to True Botanicals (Shields has been a brand ambassador since 2021), there’s no guesswork.

“I wasn't much of a serum person until I started working with True Botanicals, and that was really because I never knew what it did, or how it worked, or if it worked,” she says.

Now, “I start [my routine] with the Chebula Serum, which I mix it with a little bit of vitamin C, and I feel like that's made a huge difference on my skin.”

For Shields, what’s happening on the inside is just as important, if not more, than what’s happening on the outside.

“My beauty philosophy is: If you feel good, you're going to look better, and you're also going to take better care of yourself.”

Shields is instilling a similar mindset in daughters Rowan, 20, and Grier, 17, who she shares with husband Chris Henchy.

“I'm even worse than my mother was,” she says, reflecting on how her mother Teri, who died in 2012 at age 79, protected her natural look.

“I'm actually much tougher on my girls. They're so stunning and I will stand for none of it on their sweet, beautiful, faces.

“The culture now is so different, the pressure to lip injections and all of these things. I'm like, ‘As long as you're living under my roof, you're not doing any of that.’"
