What should I do with my eyebrows?

I'm a bit self-conscious about my eyebrows. I've always pretty much ignored them but have plucked a few stray hairs from underneath. I'm considering letting them grow out and then getting them waxed. What shape would suit me? Also should I be filling them in?

Your eyebrows look nice. I'm not an expert but I'd suggest growing them out a bit and then getting a professional to have a look. I normally have an eye brow wax and she takes the hair off the bottom and the middle. She leaves the top. But I just let the beautician do what she thinks is best.

Im not sure about filling in, this isn't something I've done before. But I've had an eyebrow tint which looked good. It made my eyebrows look thicker

I think threading would suit you more than waxing and be more controlled . They are a nice straight shape and they just need a little tidy up. You can tint them but I think a soft eyebrow pencil will be more natural if you want to do a bit of filling in. Remember never over pluck as eyebrows do not grow back the same.

They are lovely and full. You just need them shaping to compliment your face shape.

Go and get them threaded-just ask for them to be neatened because you've already got good shape there; they just need to be sharpened up

Thread them, then they'll be no need to fill in.

Ok, so threading is what you'd recommend. Forgive my ignorance, but what is involved exactly? And will it hurt a lot?

A cotton thread is used the thread is twisted and doubled between two opposing fingers it is then rolled over the unwanted hair . it is more controlled so less chance of over plucking. It does not hurt as it is done so quickly.

Very quick and very cheap-no more painful than waxing and you get a much neater appearance IMO as it's more precise than waxing

Thank you for the advice, at all??
