Eyebrow Make-Up
 

Hello lovely ladies,

I use eyebrow pencils and have tried many, believe me. I don't get my brows waxed completely sinceI love the look of thick, dark brows and mine are not naturally that dark. I love them when they're arched.

I'm currently using Brow Wiz by Anastasia. I'd never heard of it until I walked into an Ulta a few weeks back not finding what I was looking for. This stuff is amazing! Perfect color (not too dark, not too light), glides on smoothly, but doesn't smudge easily.

What eyebrow product(s) do you use?? I'm open for any recommendations. I highly appreciate the time and effort many women (and men) invest onto their brows. If you're bored, please feel free to share pics of yours. I will.

(Really, I have a life--I'm just not working until Monday, lol)

I prefer threading and waxing always thins them out too much.

You know you can dye your eyebrows? Its 5 minutes usually, instead of 30.

I get mine waxed every two weeks. UNLESS Riley is due for a visit then he maintains mine for me.

When I use product on them, I use a tiny bit of the black eyeshadow I use to line my eyes. The powder clings to the hair but is easy to wash off. Since I use so little, I have never had a problem with it falling.

:sparklyheart:

Anastasia's products are amazing!

I don't use any kind of brow stuff now except a waxy product to keep them from waving hello! (By MAC, I think)

I have naturally long, thick eyebrows a la Brook Shields in the 70's but have plucked the crap out of them since I was in my early 20s to have the arch I have now.

Stubborn boogers!

I use another Anastasia brow pencil as well, I can't remember the exact name. I am a freak about my eyebrows as well. I have the WORST ones. I swear, I get them waxed and the next day I have growth, ugh. I try to get them waxed at least 2x a month. I also use tweezerman tweezers for maintance. They were 35 dollars, but worth every penny. I can get the really fine and short hairs. Ulta carries them.

I use mac charcoal brown and mac angled brush # 208

*the Anastasia products look good, I may have to give them a try.

All of my makeup is Clinique. I've tried so many other products and they irritate my skin to no end. I generally only wear mascara and a bit of lip gloss, but when I dye my hair (every 4 weeks) I take a q-tip and put just a touch of dye on my brows so they match my hair color. It works quite nicely! I only leave the dye on my brows for about 5 minutes, otherwise it starts to burn. ;)

I once went to the MAC counter with my best friend and ended up leaving with almost $400 in products. My then husband was FURIOUS and I was rather perplexed myself since I really don't wear a lot of makeup. Needless to say, I now try to stay away from people selling pretty, shiney stuff. ;) oh, and I returned everything the next day!

what is eyebrow threading?

cock that brow.
 

perfection every time! and it makes brows look "neat and tidy" during that "in-between" time.

"expert precision for a tailor-made result. the Diorshow Brow Styler redefines, reshapes and fills out the eyebrow, offering high-definition makeup with a graphic yet natural result. its single shade, universal brown, works on all skin tones. it features a retractable tip on one side for an ultra-precise line and a brush on the other side for easy blending."

I just might have to try this! Thanks, V :)

OH MY! Why do I get a terrible feeling that if I tried that I might walk away eyebrowless.

Threading
 

I have that done as well. It is so fast, and I don't have to get out the 10X magnifying mirror to see the little hairs. lol It is really inexpensive where I live, since the population of Abbotsford has a high Indo Canadian group. I seem to react to both waxing OR threading on my upper lip though. Any suggestions?
