I told my friend she drew her eyebrows too high.
She seemed surprised.
Why This Joke Works
"Seemed surprised" describes both an emotional reaction to the criticism and the exact expression high-drawn eyebrows permanently create. The observation caused the look, and the look was already there — a perfect chicken-and-egg of makeup feedback.
