Filling in eyebrows

PrettyInPunk

Now before we start i dispise drawn on eyebrows!Buuut i have dark brown(nearly black hair) and quite fair eyebrows, there just kinda sparse or something. Looking for a very natural pencil to fill them in a little, i dont want it to be noticable. Anyone got any products to recommend?

I use the Dior and MAC eyebrow pencils. Dior is a normal sized pencil and good for an overall colour. The MAC is very fine and better for precision, drawing individual hairs.

I use a Rimmel one for my blonde eyebrows. I normally use high-end ones but I found this to be better than Mac, etc. It's called 002 Hazel and it's really natural.

Sinall

I use Stila eyebrow powder. It's very natural looking and I apply it with a very thin brush. It somes in three different shades: light, medium and dark. Each of those shades has two different colours in the one pot so you can go as light or dark as you want.

Although my brows are darker than yours I have a similar problem - they look sparse in places.

I find pencils very unatural so I use a brow powder instead.

I use one I get from the lady who threads my brows - Neelu in Arnotts in Dublin. Think the product is called "Brow Power" or something. May only be available from her though. It's fab though - very natural looking and comes in a brunette and a blonde range as far as I know.

Either way, I would recommend using a brow powder rather than a pencil.

It is much better to use a brow powder than a pencil they are easier to blend and look more natural than the pencil.
You dont have to buy a specific eyebrow powder any matte eyeshadow will do the same. Apply with a angle brush and then comb through.

I have a similar problem, so I use 'Colorsport' dark brown eyebrown dye every few weeks (got in Boots), then fill in the sparse bits with very dark brown eyeshadow.

I use the lancome brow pencil. I think the trick is to keep it very sharp, it looks more natural that way.

Pencil? Thats brilliant!

Talking about eyebrows - I had an eyebrow slanted brush for a few years - bought it in Benefit years ago and never changed it (ahem). About 2 weeks ago, I thought the brush was on its last legs so I went to Boots to try and get something cheapy (benefit one too expensive). I got a slanted eyebrow brush for €11 and normal eyelid powder for around €2 (brown colour - Boots naturals collection). Am not joking, people commented on how well I was looking. One person even commented how fresh I looked and on a seperate occasion another person said she thought I was 25! (she asked me when mybday was and I replied saying am too old to disclose that and she was like shur you are only early 20s!...).

So looking after eyebrows are definitley the way to go. Incidentally I started another thread on undereye concealers there last week. I ended up getting the Clarins one. Honest the difference is amazing.

In the last 2 weeks I have bought:
-New tweezers (someone yesterday asked me where I get eyebrows done-I replied myself)
-New slanted eyebrow brush
-New Powder
-Concealer

The next thing on my hit list is a good mascara that doesnt crumble if I rub my eyes (have dry eyes so I tend to itch alot).
