Eyebrows in need of serious help

8 replies

FabMum1 · 03/02/2011 21:17

Help Sad
My eyebrows need plucking, shaping, filling in and an all round trim.
Can anyone recommend any good eyebrow stencils to try?
I've read that they are good to use with a eyebrow shadow?
Has anyone tried this or know of a better way?
I've tried threading before but thats not for me
Thank you

Get them plucked professionally first of all. MAke sure they trim them too, I think that gives the best finish

that will give you the line to follow

Go to a salon to have them shaped properly and then you'll be able to maintain them easily with tweezers.

I swear by threading - those ladies work miracles.

Get them threaded !

Threading has literally revolutionised my life Grin

what IS threading?!

Why don't you like threading? Granted it hurts the first time and if you leave it too long between threads. I'm a recent convert and it's quite cheap where I live because the threaders usually operate from little booths in shopping centre and charge £2 -£5 a time. You can get your eyebrows done while out shiopping ant only takes 5 minutes.

I've heard you can have lazer treatment on eyebrows, which wil eradicate the problem completely but I'm not brave enough to investigate

I found threading quite painful plus they werent shaped the same.

Will try and get into a salon to have them done professionally then I can continue at hime.

What is best for filling them in though, I have a few bald patches

Have them shaped professionally to begin as the others suggest. Do not have them cut or threaded across the top - unless you have v long eyebrows. ( if you were to comb them upwards) as I think it ruins the shape and looks too harsh To fill them use a Rimmel brow brush pencil in blonde. Unless you are very very dark. Or benefit do a good little kit. But be careful not to go too dark when shading or filling in.
