HD Brows - worthwhile?

I don't spend much time of my appearance on a daily basis but have a few regular things that I think make me look presentable without having to get up too early!

So, good haircut, simple manicure, tinted eyelashes, tidy brows.

I usually have a straightforward eyebrow shape or have them threaded but my beauty therapist keeps suggesting tinting because I'm very fair. She really recommends HD Brows, which seems expensive to me but I might treat myself if it's going to make as much difference as she claims.

So worthwhile, or I'm falling for a marketing con?

Very worthwhile imo

In a good beauticians I would highly recommend. You probably need to have it done for a few times as the whole point is growing your eyebrows back into a nice shape.

I get mine tinted but don't get hd brows - £10 for eyebrow wax and tint

Thank you. So, how is it different is it to a regular eyebrow shape and tint, which costs about half?

They mark with a pencil around your eyebrows where they should be iyswim. Some of us have over plucked away from the nose or caused the arc to be in the wrong place etc
You are meant to really grow them well before you go, when they dye the hair they pick up as much as possible.
They are threaded and waxed into your shape with any gaps subtley filled in - hence the going a few times to grow in areas.

I love it!

Can I ask, cockbollocks, do you wear much make-up as a rule?

I don't. I like to look presentable but make-up just isn't me. I'm a bit concerned that obviously "done" brows will be incongruous with a (almost) bare face.

Meh.

I have thick dark brows and pay £3 every six weeks or so to get them threaded.

I had Hd brows done and can't say I noticed £17-worth of improvement.

For someone with sparse/I'll-defined brows I can see how it would help, but I suspect this is a bit of a grasping-at-straws for new beauty treatments.

I don't wear alot of make up no, I'm also quite fair and freckley so nicely shaped slightly defined eyebrows make alot if difference to me.
