What do you do to your eyebrows?

I have typically overplucked eyebrows and, as I'm late 50's, they are starting to lose shape a bit. So was just wondering, which is better, waxing or threading? I had them waxed and tinted during the summer and liked how they looked but I thought the waxing was a bit harsh on my skin, as the skin has gone a little less taut than it used to be. So is threading gentler on the skin?

I get mine threaded. I have sensitive skin and my eyes water like mad though.
I went to a new lady at the beginning of December, and only since this week have the top needed a little tidy up. The bottom hairs haven't grown back hardly. (I still thank that lady as I haven't needed to go since early December. I usually need to go ever 2-3 weeks Shock)

NC4, no I don’t use eyebrow make up.

The tint dyes the skin too, so I don’t need to ‘draw in’ fake hairs in any gappy bits because they disappear.

Sorry for late reply.

It doesn't pluck off any hairs it's just like a soft film that you peel off.
I'm pale with blue eyes and medium to dark brown hair. Unfortunately even though I've got good shaped eyebrows they are quite fair. I've also got a random gap in one.
This stuff, although looks alarming when applying, tints the hairs darkish and the skin quite subtly. Believe me I hate the 'sharpie' eyebrow look.

There's a few YouTube reviews knocking about.
