In science (the body), eyebrows help keep sweat and rain from running into your eyes. In stories and drama, eyebrows show feelings: raised eyebrows (surprise), frowning (crossed or angry), knitted eyebrows (worried or thinking hard). In art lessons, drawing eyebrows changes a face's expression. Phrases: raise an eyebrow, raised eyebrows, bushy eyebrows, frown.
