Can you maybe rub some light eyeshadow or concealer in to them to dull them down a bit?

I often get mine dyed and the trick is to never let them do it too dark. are you sure it isn't just because you are not used to it yet? a bit of face powder might take the edge off until you are.

Kelly1978 · 07/06/2006 16:30

lol, I was thinking more of hair bleach!! Only thing is then you might end up with ginger eyebrows. Wink

leander · 07/06/2006 16:32

kelly i dyed them from ginger,
Mazzy, I told her i didnt want them dark and she didnt leave the dye on for long, maybe it is that i am not used to them I need a second opinion i think I will go and see my mum.

ldh may well be right. I have blonde eyebrows even though I have darker hair (naturally). Dp insists I look better with lots of pencilling in, even though I think catepillars.

Hollyboo · 07/06/2006 16:35

Leander don't bleach them, they will go a hideous color. Give a good few shampoos to them between now and the morning and they will fade. Head and Shoulders if you have it. I'd say your just not used to them yet. They'll probably look lovely when they fade out. I get mine tinted, brown, never black. How long did she leave it on?

leander · 07/06/2006 16:37

Hollyboo i had them tinted brown and she left it on for less than a minute probably about 45 secs,
by the way my eyelashes look great long and black.

They will be fine in a day or too.Your therapist is telling you the truth: they really go down.By friday you will look the picture of well groomed elegance Smile

FrannyandZooey · 07/06/2006 18:51

When I had mine done they looked absolutely AWFUL at first. I did have a good pluck which helped initially, and I guess they must have faded as I think the caterpillar effect went away. I wouldn't have it done again though.

Hollyboo · 08/06/2006 10:53

Hey Leander how are those eyebrows looking?

Hi Hollyboo, I dont know whether they have faded or i am just getting used to them but they seem to look a lot better.They are a bit sore though from rubbing with head and shoulders,thanks for your help.

hiya - i guess if they have gone from ginger to brown it must be a bit of surprise! glad you getting used to them. bet it looks fab

TinyGang · 08/06/2006 14:40

Mine are really pale too. I have my lashes dyed black and I do my eyebrows brown (they are waxed too, but I do the eyebrow dyeing).

To begin with I was really conscious that they looked so dark, but have got used to it now and much prefer it. It gives your features more definition. Give yourself time to get used to it. It looks strange to start with I knowSmile
