Eye brow/lash intervention needed! Tint?

Apologies for the awful picture of my tired and slightly hungover eye...

I don’t do anything with my eye brows (can you tell 😂) and just put a bit of mascara on my upper lashes.
I feel my eyes are a bit small and piggy - id like to do eyeliner but am rubbish at it plus my eyes are very sensitive.
I’ve never been able to put mascara on the bottom either, I think my lashes are quite short.
Do you think it would be a good idea to go and have an eye brow shape (and would that be waxing or threading or plucking?)
And maybe an eyebrow tint? Hard to tell from awful pic but I have quite pale colouring overall with light brown hair.

Was wondering too about eyelash tint? Do they normally do top and bottom? And does anyone know how I’d get on with having it done with very sensitive/teary eyes?

Any advice appreciated

I think maybe an eyebrow shape and lash tint would make all the difference. I get my eyebrows done and honestly the difference it makes to have them shaped properly is amazing. Get them shaped professionally then just keep them up yourself with tweezers. An eyelash tint would be good if you struggle with mascara, would save the hassle of doing it every day!

I get mine threaded once a month (really need to up it to twice)..this month I braved an eyebrow tint and eyelash tint..was sceptical..but wow, amazing difference. Looks very polished, even on me.

Did you get the bottom and top lashes done or just the top? And did it sting at all?

The bottom and top, but it definitely took better on the top. It stung a bit when wiping it off, but not unbearably.

Thank you

I’m so clueless about these things.
What do I ask for with the brows? Are there decisions to be made about colour and shape? Having not done anything to them before I’d like them not to look suddenly drastically different and really thick and dark or anything.
And are there different colours of eyelash tints?
Sorry for the basic questions!

If you go to a professional salon they will be able to advise the best shape eyebrow for your face. You will need to go for a patch test a day or so before you get it done to make sure you’re bit allergic. It’s usually a wee spot of the dye they put behind your ear or somewhere subtle.
