My eyebrows are thin and fair too. When I had them shaped I also had them tinted. Was AMAZING. Made me look subtly different - loads of people commented on how great I looked but no-one could work out what had changed. was a bit scary when she first did it though - I had to get her to lighten it. Too frieda kahlo at first.

Used to love wearing pillar box red lipstick in my twenties and early thirties (a la Paloma Picasso), but feel too old to get away with it now.

Yes I had mine tinted and it looked horrific. Had to pluck even more away to take off the wolf-lady effect.

Anyone tried those eyebrow shape transfers? You can have Kylie's or Liz Hurley's etc. They are really good!

I slapped on some of that very stuff for my birthday party, did I mention is was my birthday btw, and got lots of compliments. Or maybe it was utter shock at the sheer mutton-ness of it and the Aussies are very polite

My problem is I have got bald patches so I have to fill in the gaps! Constantly looking for a product that looks natural. I keep being tempted by the BeneFit Browzings but the shades are quite dark...

mascara (mac is the best imho) and shadow if I'm going out
eye liner for special occasions, the one where you lick the brush and draw a line with a little >kick< at the end
makes me lok like cleopatra, in the right light

Lick the brush?? Euuuugh!

Cod, thanks I will try that.

HC - spit in the mascara??? What is this twisted obsession with body fluids and make up?!

Mascara and liquid eyeliner on the top lids only , and lippy. Hardly ever wear eyeshadow, maybe twice a year.

in the olden days mascara didn't come in a tube (not the ones from Boots anyhow) it was a block and a brush. you had to spit and rub...
god, please tell me I am not the only one who remembers this?

I have trowel syndrome

full face thick coverage - at least an inch - its the only way

Eyes for sure

Either bright royal blue, or a fab emerald green. Applied in thick line above (as heavy as poss!!) and a smudge beneath Loads of blac mascara

Plus Mac pout lip glass or other nudish gloss.

BTW this is v v trendy and the ONLY way to wear eyeshadow.

Don't do nude/brown or natural shades

PS and my hair is bright red

I remember block mascara

Oh yes, block mascara - I had some (I am 40).

crunchie that sounds amazing.

i am definitely an eyes person, often don't bother with lippy or go for very neutral.

i'm still in shock after the woman in front of me at the mac counter today spent £185 . and there was i feeling extravagent for getting an £8 nailpolish...

women used to spit in block mascara then rub the brush like billy-o
