You can tell the decade in which a movie was made by the eye make-up of the stars. In the forties, it was either glamorous or understated, depending on the scene (evening and dressy or daytime and subtle) and the character (bad women wore lots of eye shadow, day and night).
Eyelashes... It seems boys always get the natural, long, thick, awesome looking eyelashes. (Like my son)!
Eyebrows were mostly plucked out and painted or drawn on slightly higher, although some stars, like Angelina Jolie, got away with slender, perfectly-shaped natural brows.
If you look at Marlin Monroe you can see that she wore lots of makeup. Eye shadow was light if she used it at all (in 1960 she wore lots of bright blue shadow), but Max Factor laid on the mascara, and her brows were made up with pencil or paint, usually in a curved fashion that accessorized her persona.
Today natural is the best way to go. You can go and get your eyebrows shaped but remember that keeping with the natural curves and structure of your face will always suit you best!
