No Eyebrows

It was considered the height of fashion for women to shave off their eyebrows, and even eye lashes, in Florence during the Renaissance. As noted by Francisco Delicado in 1528 when discussing a certain brothel's workers, "You’ll see more than ten whores, some who pluck their eyebrows and others who shave their private parts." It was long thought that this is why "Mona Lisa" had no eyebrows or eyelashes. However, in 2007, Parisian engineer Pascal Cotte, who took 240 megapixel scans of the painting, claims that his scans revealed that originally there were both eyebrows and eyelashes, but they disappeared over time as a result of restoration work.
