How do you style/groom your eyebrows?

[marzipananimal]

I do a bit of plucking to keep them a bit smaller and neater but have never done anything else. I want to look a bit more well groomed but don't know how to go about it! I still want them to look reasonably natural though. Any tips?

Find a really good brow lady. I've tried and failed to maintain mine for years and ended up with odd, awful brows.

A good wax and tint from a reputable person will do wonders. Check facebook and instagram for pics from local salons and recommendations

There's an Eyelure double ended thing in Boots I really really like. Tinted gel on one side, clear on the other. I don't use both at the same time but it's nice to have the choice as the clear side just gives definition but the tinted side makes them stand out more.

Threading.

I've got dark eyebrows so don't need tinting.

I've found nothing better than threading. Sit in the chair and let them work their magic. My eyebrows look so groomed after that I just give them a quick brush to smarten them up in the morning and off I go.

Threading. Literally a brow saver. Few mins of pain but groomed brows at the end. I would reccomend finding a good brow lady and sticking with the one person. I've been going to mine nearly 10 years now.?

Following this with interest! My brows need some attention but I'm a bit scared to actually let someone lose on them in case they turn me into Katie Price. I've been using a No7 eyebrow pencil with a brush on one end and colour on the other but just to darken them up rather than shape them. My eyebrow hairs are quite long somehow and unless they're a bit glued in the place they get all unruly.

Mine are really mousy so I have them tinted each month. Also have them waxed at the same time and she finishes off with a bit of plucking.
I don't mean to sound dramatic, but it's changed my life

My eyebrows are dark blonde & fine (like my hair!!!). I rarely need to pluck.

I use Clinique Superfine liner for brows in Soft Blonde to make them look thicker but natural.

Pluck them to tidy up, brush through them with a spoolie and fill in any gappy bits with light strokes from a pencil.

Get them threaded so you get a good shape, then tidy up with tweezers and nail scissors as required.

I recently got mine microbladed and they look fab.

I am unlucky enough to have a killer mono brow and a top edge that basically meets my hairline. So I get them waxed and tinted (don't have greys in my hair yet just my eyebrows!) every 4-6 weeks. Definitely get them done professionally and ideally get a recommendation off someone who's brows you like, I once had them threaded and she basically stole them, it took years for them to grow back

I pluck mine, but just to neaten them up rather than reshape them. Then because I have such long and unruly eyebrow hairs I have to trim them every few weeks, which makes them look neater. And maybe a bit of clear eyebrow gel. I prefer the natural look so don't bother with eyebrow pencil etc.

Thanks for the replies, although I don't understand all the names of things! Quilliam I'm with you on the long unruly hairs - if I remove them my brows will be too sparse but they can look very untidy on a bad day. I think I need to be brave and find a professional

I go to a lady who does threading, she's incredible and the pain is fleeting compared to waxing (which made my eyebrow area swell up so I looked vaguely caveman-ish).

I brush with a spoolie, and have the unruly ones threaded out, after tinting, I don't do ANYTHING until the dye fades, and then I boost the colour a bit. Then, it's back to start, and repeat. Over about six weeks if I'm attentive or eight weeks if I'm not.

I just pluck them into a nice shape.

Threading is my first choice. You get such a straight line due to the nature of the threading action which looks so groomed. Apparently threading does not cause hairs not to grow back like over-plucking can.
I use Benefit Brow Zings to fill in sparse areas (I have many!), I mix the wax and the powder together and apply with a long handled slanted brush rather than the little brush provided. This gives it a more natural look.

A sharpie. Only kidding. I use an eylure brow pencil in mid brown which is pretty good and a light plucking occasionally.

Pluck the shaggy bits/stray bits out, and give them a quick brush after the shower.

I would book an appointment at Benefit where they also do brows, threading and so on. I really love their products, they work so well but there are SO many to choose from it can be confusing. I've got the brow zings which a poster already mentioned. much more natural than just using a pencil. There are all kinds of fun products though....

What can be done for brows that are dense nearer the nose end but sparse and a bit long on the outer edge? Can they be dyed on the sparser areas to match the denser bits? I think that threading would probably make mine look too sparse. I over plucked In my twenties and have the legacy of that now. I would love to look groomed but am too scared to go to a salon in case it looks worse.

Threading every few months and just tweeze the odd stray in between. Don't have much to thread, it just creates the shape, which I can maintain. Threading does trim the odd long one which I'm too nervous to attempt myself however! Always a decent pair of tweezers - I prefer Rubis (space nk's tweezers are Rubis) over tweezerman.

Tint every 6 weeks, and use a few strokes of Too Faced archery pen / pencil to fill in any sparse areas

Brush them up and trim then pluck into shape .. easy

Sherlock, I would probably use a brow powder on the sparse ends of your brows. Powders look really natural and are easy to use. I would ask at the Benefit counter to try a brow powder and let them apply for you.

Another Benefit brow bar convert, it was good to see their products on me before I bought them. Plus being just over 40 I didn't feel comfortable with the whole brow trend and just wanted to keep my brow as natural as possible.

I had a brow over with make-up then booked back in for a brow wax, they only wax underneath the brow. Previously I had them threaded elsewhere where they do above too.

I mainly use their "gimme brow" which has tiny fibres in that thicken my brows where they are a bit sparse.

My natural eyebrow finishes short of where it should but I don't extend it because I feel it looks ridiculous on me.
