What's a good way to hide eyebrows?

That probably sounds like a strange question. This year, I'm dressing up as the Bride of Frankenstein for Halloween. When I dress up, I really, really get into it. I like to be as accurate as possible. Before Halloween, I like to watch horror movies and study my character's movements and things so I can be spot on. Etc, etc.

Anyway the point is that I really have to be Elsa Lanchester, and in the movie, the ends of her eyebrows went up. My eyebrows do not point upwards, but they need to learn how. I'm dedicated to pulling off my costume well, but I'm not quite dedicated enough to pluck over a half an inch off the ends of my eyebrows. (I'd like to not look like a loony once November gets here.)

What would be the best way to cover my natural eyebrows so that I can draw them on as pointy? I could cover them in the makeup I'll be using for my face, but I'm not sure how well that would come out. I'm thinking you'd still be able to see quite a bit of texture. I remember hearing somewhere a long time ago that some drag queens use soap for the same effect? I don't really know how that would work, though.

Basically, I don't want to draw on eyebrows and then have my natural eyebrows all crazy and visible as well. Forked eyebrows are not good! Any ideas?
