I'm off to get my eyebrows shaped and tinted for the first time ever today.

[divere]

Wish me luck! Will they know what to do or should I give some direction? Do you want a horrible 'before' picture?

olivia how can you tell if I'm plain or not from just my eyes?

I'm hoping that by the morning and once I've put some makeup on, I'll be used to them and embrace them. Does the shape look okay? The big question is, should I continue to use this lady?

Thanks for being kind btw everyone

They look lovely!!
You will get used to them very quickly, and they absolutely help define your face. Well done!

Oh they look fab! Definitely make your face more defined. I, verrrry tempted now!

THey look fine! Very nice in fact.

They are the same shade as your lashes, are they not? Perfectly feasible that they could naturally be that colour.

Here's mine, looking at them here though they already look dark, a bit thin they are, I don't like the huge HD brows that are around now but wonder if I could do with filling them in a bit?

Yours are a lovely shape already tim, do you do anything to them at the moment? You should get the Benefit compact that was mentioned up thread

Yes, same colours as my eyelashes. No idea why everything else on my body is blonde apart from my eyelashes! Although eyelashes are blonde on the ends.

I just pluck away underneath the brow line really. I've never used anything on my brows, what is in the compact? Is it a powder? Please excuse the wonky eyes, I'm on a waiting list for surgery to fix my strabismus I've had since I was a child. Can't wait to finally get it sorted, hoping its make a big difference especially if I sort my brows out too!

I had HD brows once - never again, looked like an Angry Bird. Wiped the stuff off with a baby wipe.

Yours look nice!

Don't excuse yourself, isuppose will give you a telling off

The compact I've got is called Brow Zings. Its got a powder and like a sort of gel thing. I really must use it more often.

Haha oh no - now look here, I just want everyone to be able to see the lovely things about themselves that everyone else sees!

This is the lovely Benefit eyebrow compact. If you go into a shop with a Benefit counter the woman there will show you how to do it (it's dead easy anyway, powder then wax).

To be fair, I do agree with you. I read an article about a man complaining that his wife would come downstairs looking absolutely beautiful, she'd say 'oh my arms are horrible in this dress' and then all his focus was on the arms, whereas before he saw the whole thing and how wonderful she looked. It's true, if I ever get a compliment I will contradict it!

I think they look fantastic! Your eyes look enormous. It's always a shock at first but they'll calm down and you'll get used to it. Really suits you :)

*divere. I love the colour and you have very pretty eyes. I do think they could have shaped them a bit better though. Put a bit more of an arch on the outer third, but that's just my opinion.

mumchkin they are enormous, not in a good way! Someone once said 'wow I never noticed how out of proportion your eyes are, they really are too big for your face aren't they ha ha' - ha ha indeed.

Lib I'm not sure what the outer third is... I am wondering whether to try another place the next time though.

Arched eyebrows are 'out' at the moment which is probably why they haven't done it

Big eyes are the best - just ask any supermodel or baby animal ;)

Need to get mine done, same colouring as you but I am used to not really seeing them, I am forcing myself to pencil in a nice shape every day so I can get used to them being there! My right eyebrow is very blonde for about half of it, hence the need to colour it in or it looks really odd!

They look lovely! And you have very pretty eyes, lovely colour
