Can we talk about eyebrows and eyebrow pencils please?

My eyebrows have become very sparse at the inner (nose) end and I'm having to bulk them up a bit. Tried eyeshadow at first but it wasn't doing the job so bought an eyebrow pencil and brush from Shavata (sp?) in HoF when I was having them threaded. I am sure I probably go out with lopsided eyebrows every morning - any tips please? Also, pencil recommendations - this one is disappearing at a rate of knots as I keep it sharpened!

Thanks

i use a Clinique one - I have very dark brows & use the nearly black.

The YBF one was my favourite for ages, but for me, nothing beats Suqqu's brow powder, topped off with a bit of MAC's clear gel. It's the most unusual colour I've ever seen - looks sort of khaki green in the palette, but becomes amazingly natural on the brow area if you're dark-haired, as I am. The brush in the palette is small but deceptively accurate, too, and you get two more colours in the kit to do a quick eyeshadow look with. It's spenny, but it lasts for absolute eons and doesn't have the drying out/sharpening problem of other methods. Had my latest one for about four months now and it looks barely used.

I use this Collection Work The Colour Kit from Boots, which is brilliant value at just £3.99. It has an angled stiff brush, a little mirror compact, and a clear setting gel to brush on afterwards. I had only ever used pencils before, but this is a gazillion times better.

This is a good review of it.

The Tom ford one is fantastic but pricey. It's angled and has a sharpener built in to the other end so you can keep the angle. I've had my current one almost a year and use it every day, it's still going strong.

hey BotoxBitch where did you get your brows done?

I swap between a Chanel eyebrow pencil and an Estee Lauder one. The Estee Lauder one gives a softer look.

Boujois twisty pencil is great - also available on 3 for 2 offer at Superdrug. Has transformed my eyebrows.

Cheeseboard, Claire Hobson did them. Went to a lot of consultations before I chose her, she's flippin amazing, a trainer within the industry. Expensive though, but she is tattooing your face so didn't go for the cheaper options! X
