New eyebrow pencil or powder needed

I saw a photo of me earlier and my brows look really sparse and gappy so I need something to fill them in.

Any recommendations? I have dark brown hair and pale skin.

TIA

I like the very fine twist-up eyebrow pencils. Clinique do one.

I like the Gosh brow kit. I got it in Superdrug, they have 3 for 2 at the moment. It's a snazzy little kit with three powders and a setting gel. The powders are all really good colours. I often find the pencil's are too reddy brown. These colours are nice and cool, and not too dark. Even though I have darkest brown/black eyebrows, I always use a slighly lighter shade to fill them in, it's more flattering. Nice compact with mirror too. About £7 I think. I prefer it to the HD Brows one I had, which was about £20.

Try bare escentuals brow powder - I think they have a few different shades. Dampen a slanted eye brush and gently sweep on brows. I have some scar tissue in one of my brows which need to fill in so have tried various wax type kits such as Shavata and Benefit but this works best for me and seems to look the most natural.

I got a GOSH eyebrow pencil in 'greybrown' the other week. It's pretty good, quite a subtle effect and has a mascara-type brush on the other end for blending.

BeneFit Brow Zing used to be brilliant when you could buy separate shades, but they only seem to come in palettes now, which seems pretty pointless as most of us have one colour eyebrows.

I tint mine with Colorsport eyelash & brow dye, and fill in with dark brown shadow.

Before the Gosh kit, I was using MAC eyeshadow in Concrete, or Charcoal. They are both really flattering for eyebrows ( if you have dark hair ). Concrete is my preferred one. Charcoal slighly more reddy brown.
