Can anyone recommend products to make eyebrows more defined?

Benefit Gimme Brow! I love it Smile

I've had HD brows once before and used eyebrow pencils but thought the result was too dark and obvious.

Dunno about products, but mine looked infinitely better after threading and a home tint.

Really like the Maybelline Brow Drama brow mascara because it has a special applicator which I find doesn't smudge on my skin when I apply it. Unlike more lash-mascara-shaped wands (like Bobbi Brown's) which I make a real mess of.

Shavata eyebrow pencil , from Debenhams or online. Double ended, so 2 shades called Dawn and Dusk. The Dawn shade is perfect for me, great ash brown , no red tone. I use the Dusk shade occasionally with a smokey eye for evening glam occasions . Believe me I have tried every product out there and keep coming back to this pencil .

Thanks all. Was looking at maybelline this morning but they only had the red one left. I'd look crap with red eyebrows Wink

If you do buy the Maybelline one, my tip is to wipe any clumps off the end of the wand, then go from the end of your brows towards your nose (ruffles hairs but lays down just enough product) and then lightly back the other way to comb brows into place and tidy up. Touch it quite lightly to your brows and only use the ball end. (I read on some dimwit's blog that the base of the wand was "designed" to do the tail of the brow whereas the ball was for the arch. Heaven knows what led her to that logic.)

I love Benefit Brow Zings - stays put all day and night.

After years of salon dying and waxing/threading I started seeing an HD trained technician who has transformed my brows. I'm told I look ten years younger so I thoroughly recommend it

How do you find an HD beautician/ technician ? Is there an umbrella organisation ? Would love to find out more from anyone who can advise please.

I've tried it all. Benefit Brow Zings WAS my favourite until I discovered Anastasia Brow Gel. It stays put like nothing I've ever tried! I go to the gym, work, jacuzzi, steam, sauna, out and about all day and still the same as the morning.

Browzings definitely doesn't stay put on me, one accidental swipe and it's gone. It's a good colour though. I use the Soap and Glory Archery pen on mine, it's waterproof and stays put, topped up with a bit of Browzing. Then brush through with a clean dry mascara brush. Thea combo even survives swimming.
