How to Say "eyebrow" in Spanish

Using 'the' instead of 'my'
In Spanish, when talking about body parts like 'cejas', we use 'las' (the) instead of 'mis' (my). For example, say 'Me depilo las cejas' rather than 'Me depilo mis cejas'.
Gender and Number
Ceja is a feminine word. Since most people have two, you will almost always see it used in the plural form: 'las cejas'.
Don't confuse with eyelashes
Mistake: “Me puse rímel en las cejas.”
Correction: Me puse rímel en las pestañas. 'Ceja' is the eyebrow (above the eye), while 'pestaña' is the eyelash (on the eyelid).
