Eyebrows

[Bizzy Lizzy]

I am wondering if we should have a category covering beauty tips (or perhaps it is just me). Anyway advice about sparse eyebrows this time please. Mine have not grown evenly for years and there are patches where none grow at all. I have never been able to do the drawing them on trick as they just look ridiculous. How is this done and what about the many products that are advertised which are supposed to make eyebrows look thicker? My answer has always been to keep my fringe long and thus eyebrows are not in the public domain. There must be a better answer I feel.

BL I use a eyebrow pencil but very sparingly then a eyebrow sponge to blend in , I can't draw them on either but having said that my eyebrows are not very thin but the eyebrow pencil does make them look thicker .

My friend had, over the years, over plucked her eyebrows so that in the end she had only the very faintest brow left. She over came the problem by having eye brows tattoos ! They look amazing .

BL - I think there are lots of brow-grooming products on the market these days.

You've made me curious about brow make-up now. I've only ever used eyebrow pencil, so I did a bit of Googling, and came up with this:

I noticed there are also lots of online tutorials as well. I could do with a bit of help in the eyebrow department, too!!!

The tattooing idea may be a good one for you BL. I would like thinner eyebrows!!

I have very sparse pale eyebrows, I do use an eyebrow pencil but as I can't see them till I put my glasses on it is a bit hit and miss. The fashion to have eyebrows completely drawn on which is the fashion ATM with the young looks unattractive , I think they must use a stencil.

Just checked out this site Daisy and there are one or two interesting products there which I think I will have a go at so many thanks for doing the research. I am not really brave enough for tattoos I'm afraid but I do like the idea.

My eyebrows are not too bad considering I plucked them to absolutely nothing for years! They are quite light though which makes them undefined. I use L'Oreal Brow Artist Plumper in medium/dark which is like a gel mascara for the eye brows. It looks natural and doesn't cake. I cannot remember how much it is but I have had the one I am currently using for a couple of months at least. I used to use an Estee Lauder powder which was expensive and which didn't stay on throughout the day, I cannot be having to reapply make all the time so although it looked good at first I stopped using it.

I pencil mine with an Avon blonde pencil, been doing so long it's just routine now.In my foolish youth I over plucked them and they have never really grown properly since.

Had mine tattooed at my DILs Salon. It is expensive though, but they look great. I'm thinking of having tattoo eye liner next, as when I take my glasses off to draw the lines I can't see!!

I just use an eyebrow pencil, albeit very lightly.i have never plucked mine. I think eyebrow threading is becoming popular,but I have heard it's painful.

Iv'e thought about the tattoo eyeliner, don't know anyone who has had it done though.

I have thought about eyebrow tattooing but eyeliner sounds a bit painful

DD1 has her eyebrows and liner tattooed on. It looks great on her, but then she is 36 with no bags or lines. She has hers done by a very professional person now but has had a problem with odd eyebrows in the past.😳 I have to say it gave us a good laugh at the time. I have sparse eyebrows now and very patchy, l have used a brush on wax with coloured powder over the top but now find a Clinique pencil does a better job.
